Good morning. Thank you for inviting me to talk to you today. I like speaking to students, especially when there’s a chance of making their lives a bit safer. Just to start, does anyone know what the most common crime is? No? Well, (1) theft is the most common crime in the UK. There are various kinds of theft. For instance, (2) robbery, when a thief takes something away from someone personally. Like, when you’re walking in the street and someone grabs your handbag or your mobile and runs away. That’s robbery. (3) Another form of theft is burglary, when a thief breaks into your house and steals your property.
OK. Now I’d like to go on to talk about safety on holiday. You probably know that when you’re on holiday abroad, you’re in much more danger of being robbed. This is because you probably don’t know the country very well. For example you might not realized that you’re in a dangerous area. (4) One of the things you can do to protect yourself is to keep your passport and money in the safe in the hotel. You can always go back and get them if you need them. Another thing you can do is take an old mobile with you on holiday. (5) These new smartphones are very popular with thieves all over the world. It’s safer just to take an old one.
