Question of the Day: Try using the vocabulary from today's lesson to talk about crime or criminals that you have heard about in the news. My answer: Recently there was a story in the news about a bank robbery close to Toronto. There were three criminals involved in the crime. Surprisingly, all three of the robber are juvenile delinquents! What crimes have you heard about recently? Let me know.

[@JeNsJyugyou]

I suppose that's possible for people who are speeding to get arrested. Usually in Canada if someone is caught speeding the police just pull them over and give them a ticket, force them to pay a fine.

[@PaulRame-x5j]

I found this very interesting and useful. Listening from a small Developing island nation called Papua New Guinea.

It was very useful thanks so much

[@nilanjandey5366]

Hi...Jen ....In ancient times some ignorant and heartless people very often committed serious and heinous crimes , sinful activities like gruesome murders , and inflict intolerable pain upon innocent people but they were not given any punishment coz they themselves were law-makers , and they held Kanraroo Court and they singled out some innocent person , torture them brutally and ruthlessly for no apparent reason . It reminded me of Jesus Christ who was absolutely innocent and the story of how he was crucified brings tears to my eyes . There are many other such incidents and happenings that we have heard of in our life .

[@NaseerAhmad-yh1bp]

I'll be very grateful to you for this favour

[@geloriaresidence1165]

[@jekkyenglish]

Thank you Jen, exellent as always!! This topic is difficult for me, so it definetly needs revising)) Eg. I've heard that a robber had had fatal heart attack while attempting to mug an evangelical pastor. He wanted to rob the pastor in his car but when he opened the drive side door he suddenly collapsed to the pavement and died.

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Thanks for your comment. Wow! That is a very interesting story! How long ago did that happen. I'm shocked that the would-be robber died, but glad that the pastor wasn't hurt.

[@jekkyenglish]

@@JeNsJyugyou thank you for you comment, Jen. It has recently happened. Actually, there were three of bandits, one of them had a fatal heart attack while the other two run away.

[@JeNsJyugyou]

@@jekkyenglish Bandit is a great word, I should have taught it in this lesson! I wonder if the police will catch the other two criminals?

[@jekkyenglish]

@@JeNsJyugyou No arrests have been reported. The suspects remain unidentified.

[@JeNsJyugyou]

@@jekkyenglish Hopefully, they were scared straight and will refrain from attempting to commit future crimes. (PS. Your sentences are perfect and natural! 👍🏻)

[@arturgharagyozyan52]

Please make video.with civil terms

[@saadirostami7095]

Thank you a lot. I heard that arson is also one of the severe crims and is considered as felony. Is it right?

[@JeNsJyugyou]

I believe that you are correct. 🔥 I am not an expert in criminal law, but depending on the extent of damage and how many times the person has committed arson (deliberately setting someone else's property of fire) I think that in Canada it could be either a felony or misdemeanour, but is usually prosecuted as a felony.

Where did you find the image at 08:08, because it is a Turkish actress on the Turkish Tv Series? I am really surprise :)

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Oh really? I didn't know that, but that's interesting😄. I usually find royalty free images for my videos on sites like Pexels and Pixabay 😁. Thanks for sharing ✨.

[@farnazra6968]

Can you explain about hairstyles and going to the hair salon?

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Thanks for your suggestion. I will add it to my list of recommendations and do my best to work on it. 🤗

[@jimmymars5462]

Dear Jens:What type of these mentioned criminal is considered as Bankrupcy?

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Hi Jimmy ✨. Bankruptcy isn't a crime in Canada. If you declare bankruptcy falsely and try to hide your assets to avoid paying your debts, then it is crime though and would considered fraud. I hope that helps 🤗.

[@aqmorisny]

I have heard from my friend that two of her collage mate recently became a victim of crime, the belongings of both of them were theft by muggers, one of them had tried to resist, and the muggers hit him with a knife, but the other one has given them his belongings, and they left him alone.

[@rasheedmughal2513]

Hi my teacher beautiful

[@kimtuyenle1681]

♥️ it will better when you add violent crime ♥️

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Thanks for the feedback😎. It's been about a year since I made this lesson, but I thought I included murder which is usually a violent crime 😅

[@raven22at]

Addendum for number 4: in Canada we have 3 types of offenses indictable offense (felonies) summary conviction (misdemeanor) hybrid offense ( can be changed as indictable offense or summary conviction)

[@JeNsJyugyou]

Wow, thanks for sharing. I actually didn't know about hybrid offences. 👍🏻

[@joelmasamba6762]

Oh my gosh!!! Whether misdemeanor be a crime that we have got to forgive we can not commit it

[@priscatvilfort7809]

My dear teacher, I can't see you in jail. I would like to see you in paradise! Loll...... Have a wonderful Sunday dear!

I Heard a new about a manslaughter where a driver kills a homeless and another where without any disguise or something to hide their identity two thieves commited robbery they steal a patrol 's spare tire and the cops didn't notice anything.

[@JeNsJyugyou]

The first crime is terrible, but the second crime is just a little but humourous. I hope the criminals are caught in both cases.

[@raven22at]

Addendum for 5: we used offender as a technical term in training

Were / Are you in the military?

Hi Rowan 😎. Thanks for watching this English vocabulary lesson. I'm speaking slower than usual as this video is meant for ESL students. If you are an ESL student and still found this crime lesson slow, that's awesome because it means you're practically fluent in English 👍🏻😁.
