[00:08.18]Lesson32

[00:14.51]Exercise 1.4

[00:18.01]Welcome back to the show.

[00:20.43]Today we're talking about safety--

[00:23.69]especially safety for teenagers.

[00:26.93]Robin Thomas is here to give us some tips.

[00:30.45]So,Robin,what is the most important thing

[00:33.71]to remember?

[00:36.06]Well,as a basic rule,

[00:38.52]when you go out,

[00:40.36]always tell your parents where you are going,

[00:43.17]and who you are going with,

[00:45.24]and --this is very important --

[00:47.61]what time you expect to be home.

[00:50.96]When teenagers go out ,

[00:52.95]they usually take some money with them.

[00:55.79]What can they do to keep safe?

[00:59.04]First,it's not a good idea to carry a lot of

[01:02.15]money with you.

[01:04.09]Also,you shouldn't carry an expensive

[01:07.08]handbag or purse

[01:08.50]because this just attracts attention.

[01:11.44]If you have to carry some money with you,

[01:13.93]keep it in different places.

[01:16.60]What do you mean?

[01:18.76]Well,for example,

[01:20.66]you can keep some money in your pocket

[01:23.03]and some in your sock or in your shoe.

[01:26.24]And another thing,it's better to keep your

[01:29.53]money out of sight until you need to use it.

[01:33.52]Okay. What else should teenagers remember?

[01:38.06]When you're out walking,

[01:39.65]it's not a good idea to take short--cuts across

[01:43.17]dark areas,empty buildings,or parking lots.

[01:47.92]Stay on the main street.
