Teacher: - Well done! Now, look at the theme of our lesson. How do you understand the meaning of the word "liability"? (Students give their ideas. If they can't T. gives the explanation: it means responsibility according to law.) At today's lesson we'll be (T. points to the plan of the lesson, written on the blackboard) reading the text together, you'll be making up dialogues, you'll be listening to short sentences and decide if they are true or false, according to the text. And, finally, I'll ask you to write a few sentences, commenting on one of the statements.

1) Now, before we start reading, let's check that you know the meaning of the following words:

- Be convicted of a crime

- A bank account

- Own an air gun

- Consent

- Armed forces

- Glider

3) T.: Thank you! I'm sure you've got very good memory and we're going to prove it now. You will hear five short sentences. You must decide if they are true or false according to the information we've just discussed. Write numbers from 1 to 5 in a column.

1. I'm 15. I can give blood. (F)

- Was the text difficult? - What sentences in the text were not clear? Let's translate some of them. (дается перевод выделенных предложений)

Crime

Children under ten years of age cannot be tried for a crime. The only remedy for children so young who persistently break the law is for them to be taken into care. After the age of ten children can be charged with a crime and may be found guilty if the court considers that the child was aware that the action for which they are being tried was seriously wrong. From the age of fourteen children are considered to be morally responsible.

Up to the age of seventeen, young persons who are suspected of a crime, or who may have witnessed one are treated somewhat differently from adults. If they are taken to a police station to be questioned, this must be done in the presence of an appropriate adult. This will often be a parent, but if the parent is unavailable or unsuitable (for example because of mental incapacity) then it may be someone from the Local Authority Social Services Department. Indeed any adult unconnected with the police may be an appropriate adult, depending on circumstances.

If a young person admits to committing a crime then unless it is a serious offence such as rape or arson the police have some freedom of action. Rather than prosecuting, they may decide to give the young offender a caution-effectively a serious telling-off which does not go down on the individual`s record, but can be mentioned in any future hearing in a Youth Court.

If the young person does not admit the offence, then the police must decide whether to prosecute. If they do, then the case will usually be heard before specially trained magistrates in a Youth Court. Sentences available to the magistrates range from a custodial sentence in a young offenders` institution to a supervision order, which is the equivalent to probation for ten- to sixteen-year-olds.

Возможный перевод выделенных предложений:

1. После возраста 10-ти лет детям могут предъявить обвинение в преступлении, и они могут быть признаны виновными, если суд посчитает, что ребенок осознавал, что действия, за которые его судят, являются тяжким преступлением.

2. Если их приводят в полицейский участок на допрос, то это должно быть сделано в присутствии подходящего взрослого.

3. Если молодой человек признается в совершении преступления, то в случае, если это не тяжкое преступление, такое как изнасилование или поджег, у полиции есть некоторая свобода действий.

4. Приговоры, которые могут вынести судьи, варьируются от помещения в колонии для несовершеннолетних нарушителей до надзорного ордера, сто равнозначно условному приговору для подростков от 10 до 16 лет.
