Welcome to Lesson 6 in Activity Week - Dilemmas.
The content of this lesson is linked to the podcast you listened to in lesson three and the language you learned in lessons four and five:
Understanding Grammar - What would you do?
In lesson four, Rich spoke about dilemmas and in lesson five, Jack spoke about dilemmas and the lessons introduced lots of words and phrases about these topics. This task is your chance to use the language you have learned to give your opinion about five dilemmas:
Task
What do I need to do?
In this discussion task, we would like you to do three things:
- Read the article and look at the words in red. Think about what these words mean.
- Do the quiz at the end of the article. This quiz checks your understanding of the words in red in the article.
- Discuss each dilemma and say what you would do in the comments section.
Dilemmas
Would you do the right thing?
Dilemma 1 You are in a big department store and you see a man that looks quite poor putting a Manchester Utd shirt into his rucksack. Would you tell the shop assistant or keep quiet?
Dilemma 2 You are a Chelsea fan. You are leaving the stadium after your team has been beaten 3-0. You see a wallet on the floor in the car park. It’s Eden Hazard’s! And it has £2000 in it! What do you do?
Dilemma 3 You are a professional footballer. Your next match is against a very small team in the cup. Somebody offers you a lot of money to score an own goal in the last minute of the match if you are already winning by more than three goals. Should you do it?

Faced with such dilemmas, we need to be responsible citizens.Here are my reactions to each of the dilemmas:
1.I would tip-off the department store workers.Why should we cover up thieves.
2.I would take the wallet to the nearest police station.
3. Match fixing is a global challenge we face today in football.It's something we have to fight collectively. I wouldn't accept the offer no matter the amount of money involved.

1. I considered that it's a difficult situation but in my opinion I would tell to the shop assistant in a whispering way.
2. It's a real temptation but I realize that this money does not belong me and I should give to a police officer or ask for the owner by social media networks.
3. Definitely I should not sell my conscience because for me it's more important to be in peace.

If you're an honest person, none of these would even be dilemmas for you.
1. Even though the man might not be very fortunate, you shouldn't steal under any circumstances. I would tell the shop assistant.
2. I would take a look at the wallet to see if there's a phone number or Id card, and try to call the person to give it back!
3. I wouldn't accept any kind of reward for doing such a dirty play!

1) I would tell the clerk but also comment the situationconomica of the character so that when you call him it would be possible to make him think that stealing is not good and that if he does it will not work well and if he reacts positively he would pay for the shirt.
2) I will return your wallet because it is not correct to steal, and I would ask for your autograph and photo.
3) I would not do it because you have to be honest and get triumphs for our effort and not for convenience or interest, it is important to be honest ALWAYS IN EVERYTHING as the saying goes: "He who works well, is doing well"

Dilemma 1: I would obviously tell the shop assistant, it's the right thing. This is not a difficult decision.
Dilemma 2: I try to find the owner, find something inside her that can have information from the owner and give it to her, or leave it somewhere in lost things where he can go and look for it.
Dilemma 3: I would not do it, the other team would not win in the same way, and it would not be right to do that to my own team just for money.

2) It is better to leave the wallet in its place and try to warn an official.
3) We have to remember that be honest is the best way to live.
