forward to it. There is a visit to an exhibition and

The teacher reads out the list of those who have

paid so far. Your name is called out. You know you

haven’t paid. The money is still in your pocket as

you brought it in this morning. What do you do?

You have seen a pair of football boots in a sale and you

really want them. You have enough money saved, but

you were planning to use some of that to go out at the

weekend with your friends. If you buy the boots you’ll

have nothing left. That evening at home you overhear

your mum telling your brother/sister that she has left the

money for the schoolbooks he//she needs in an envelope

in their schoolbag and that they better not lose it. You

and your brother/sister do not get on very well. You think

that he/she is a real know-it-all and they always make fun

of your friends. If you took the money, you would have

enough to buy the football boots and go out with your

friends at the weekend. What do you do?
