Page 68 - Exercise 1A

Why are you handing out leaflets outside my shop?

I’m protesting about working conditions for children in poor countries.

I don’t sell things which exploit children in my shop!

Hi, Ruby. What are you doing?

Oh, hello, Pete. I’m protesting about working conditions for children in poor countries. The manager says that he doesn’t sell things which exploit children in his shop, but it isn’t true.

Really?

Yes, so don’t buy things in this shop. The trainers here are made by children who get less than a dollar a day. That’s awful, isn’t it?

Yes, it’s terrible. Here, I’ll help you. Give me some leaflets.

Later, Pete is talking to Jake.

I saw Ruby today. She was handing out leaflets outside Sports Stuff. She said she was protesting about working conditions for children in poor countries.

Yes, she always wants to change the world.

She said that the trainers there were made by children who got less than a dollar a day!

So, what did you do?

I said that it was terrible and that I’d help her.

I didn’t know that you were into politics.

Well, I’m not, but Ruby’s cool. I really fancy her.

Yes, I know. Anyway, what’s in the bag?

My new trainers.

What?

Yes, I saw them in the shop window while we were handing out leaflets. So after Ruby left, I went in and bought them!
