Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 1,284 – Discovering a Minor Theft.
This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 1,284. I’m your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
This episode is a dialogue between Maria and the owner of a store about stealing something from the store. Sounds dangerous. Let’s get started.
Maria: What’s going on here? I came as soon as I got your phone call. Why are you holding onto my son like that?
Store Owner: I am restraining your son because I caught him shoplifting. I thought you’d like to be here when I called the police.
Maria: There’s no need for that. He’s not a delinquent.
Store Owner: He is from my standpoint. Theft is a serious crime.
Maria: I know it is and I’ll make restitution. Please give him a second chance. Please don’t call the police.
