Exercise 19
Role Play: I Want to Drive a Car!
ƒ Read Alex’s contribution1 and the answers he gets.
ƒ Form groups and decide who takes which role (see below).
ƒ Imagine2: After having read the answers to his/her question on the web, A decides first to talk to his/her sister/
brother and then to his/her parents.
ƒ Discuss how the conversation between the four members of the family might end: Will they reach an agreement3?
ƒ Take notes of the arguments you want to use in the conversation.
ƒ Practise4 your role play a few times before you present it to the whole group.
Role Cards:
Alex or Alexa Reeves (16)
The conflicts with your parents made you ask for help on the web. However, you ”forgot” to mention5 one or two
further things that caused your parents to distrust6 you. Sometimes you think that your parents prefer7 your brother/sister to you. In fact, he/she is not the goody your parents seem to believe8 .
David or Debora Reeves (19)
You are A’s brother/sister. On the one hand you want to support 9 A, but on the other hand you know about what
happened in the past. You were allowed to have your own driving licence when you were 17. Exactly one week later
you smashed up10 your parents’ car. It was not your fault, but you could not prove11 this because it was a hit and run
offence12 and there were no witnesses13.
Peggy Reeves (42)
You are A’s and D’s mother and extremely worried14. You just cannot help imagining what might happen if your
youngest child were allowed to drive a car. You think your husband often drives recklessly. So, whenever you go with
him, you prefer to drive yourself.
Roger Reeves (41)
You are A’s and D’s father. You are not as strict as your wife and basically you think it is good to learn driving as early
as possible. On the other hand you do not really trust A. because of what happened in the past. You enjoy driving
fast, but you do not think of yourself as a reckless driver. You are annoyed15 about your wife’s opinion of you.

question by Alex : My parents just don't listen... help?1
im 16 and its just about the time that i start driving
my parents say no because of my passed2
they know i party, but ive matured3 a lot and dont drink at parties anymore...they know that
ive been getting good grades4 too..
but the reason i want to start driving is due to5 insurance6 i kn0w that if i start driving at the age of 18/19 my insurance
will be higher
how do i get this through theyre heads and whats your opinion on me driving at 16???
ƒ
answer by Apollyon
If they don‘t want you to drive then you won‘t drive. I started driving at 18, and honestly7 there‘s really no difference other than your parents telling you when you can drive....Besides8, I highly doubt9 you have a job to pay for
your own gas and insurance.
BTW10, try going to Driving School first, you get a discount11 that way.
ƒ
answer by Lauren
uhhh , thats kinda a tuffyy12 :/ uhh make a list of allll the reasons why it would be helpful to them an not just
youreself to get it now.

answer by Charlene Webb
you shouldn‘t have any privileges if you are the young and have been drinking. you should have to get a job and
pay for everything yourself, that will teach you to be responsible. I think if they let you drive now you would drink
and drive. you are a terrible child and deserve to get beat

by matcat92
well cuz they think u might go to parties. but they r looking out for u so u wont get in trouble. im going to start
driving here to and 16 yrs old too.
ƒ
by LIvestro
My parents didn‘t let me drive until I was 18. I hated them for it then, but I get it now. You said you have had some
drinking problems in the past... You might be over it right now. But if you had your license, the opportunity1 and
temptation2 to drink or party will be 100 times what it is now. If you have given your parents reason3 to doubt you
in the past, You have an uphill4 battle5 gaining6 their trust. They might trust you at the moment7 because they
know where you are, who you‘re with, etc. But throw a car in the mix and they have no idea where you are and
what you are doing. They probably8 just don't trust that you'll make the right decisions9 when you have so many
more opportunities to make mistakes. Oh, and your insurance won't be higher because of your age, it‘s based on
the number of years experience10 you have driving. So if you start driving at 18, your bill11 won‘t go down until
you are 23 rather than 21 if you start driving now. And it‘s not a huge12 difference until you are 25 anyway, that‘s
when insurance companies consider13 you a "mature“ driver. Meaning 90 of mistakes made due to inexperience or
being young and careless are out of the way by the age of 25. IF you take a driving class outside of school or what‘s
required14 in your state, your rates15 will be much better. Oh and keep up your grades... insurance companies have
discounts for good grades, responsible16 students are generally responsible drivers!

positions at the moment of the accident?
ƒ Create scenes for a radio play about the accident and the following events5.
ƒ (Possible scenes: accident, events immediately6 after the accident with ambulance and police, conversation bet-
ween the between the people involved, who possibly disagree7 and even have an argument8. One of the persons

to wear a helmet, but you refuse12 to do so.
Mary Davis or John Davis:
You are convinced13 you can tell exactly what happened. You are prejudiced14 against young people.
Carol Bates or Robin Bates :
You are slightly15 disabled16, so you cannot walk very fast.

Los Angeles Times - Probe Continues in Crash That Killed 3
http://articles.latimes.com/2004/nov/09/local/me-compton9
By Nancy Wride, November 09, 2004
The three youths killed in a Compton joyriding crash died of multiple traumatic injuries, a Los Angeles County coroner's
office spokesman said Monday as schools announced the news to their classmates. "The principal called me this morning
from Verbum Dei High School and told me they'd gathered in the chapel for a prayer for Derrius,“ said Donetta Johnson,
whose 15-year-old son died in the crash. Derrius Johnson had recently transferred from the Catholic school in Watts to
Westchester High, which also announced his death over the public address system. "It was nice that they remembered
him,“ she said. "He was a sweetheart everyone liked.“ Also killed in the crash were Clydnesha Lindsey, 12, and Ricky Ward,
13. All three victims were from Compton. An investigation will continue this week into how the driver - a pajama-clad
13-year-old girl - was able to get her mother‘s car keys, and whether she had taken the four-door white Mazda on previous joyrides, as several friends reported.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Ralph Miller said Monday that a decision on whether to file criminal charges against
the driver or her mother was not expected until late this week, when the results of the probe would be presented to the
district attorney's office.
"The traffic investigator on the case is not in today,“ Miller said, "so nothing is likely to happen before Friday.“
The collision occurred about 6:20 p.m. Saturday after several youths had gathered for a slumber party at one of their
homes, said authorities, who reported that at least two of the victims were wearing pajamas.
The Mazda crossed over the center line of Alondra Boulevard, authorities said, and the passenger side was broadsided by
a black SUV.
The driver of the Mazda, who was not named because she is a juvenile involved in a potential criminal case, suffered
minor neck pain; two other passengers sustained a broken arm and a broken leg, Miller said. The driver and a passenger
in the SUV were not seriously injured.
Miller, who was among the deputies at the scene of the crash, said some of the youths were not wearing seat belts, including Clydnesha, who was ejected from the car. She landed on a wrought iron fence, said deputies and residents near
the crash site.

An internet article:
Bicyclist Hurt2 in Hit-and-Run Accident
Updated: Monday, 03 Aug 2009, 1:41 PM CDT
Published : Monday, 03 Aug 2009, 1:41 PM CDT
Police are looking for the driver and vehicle involved3 in a hit-and-run crash4 which severely5 injured6 a west suburban7
man as he rode a bicycle Sunday night.
At about 10:50 p.m. Sunday, Aurora, police responded8 to the 800 block of Ridgeway Avenue, about 1/4-mile west of
Woodlawn Avenue, after a 911 call reported a man lying on the side of the road.
Officers found that the 52-year-old man had been on a bicycle when he suffered9 serious injuries to his legs and head
after being struck10 by a car, according to11 a release12 from police.
The victim, who was airlifted13 to a suburban hospital after receiving initial treatment at an Aurora hospital, told police
he did not remember what happened, the release said.
Traffic investigators14 responded to the scene and recovered15 some evidence16 , but as of noon Monday, the car and driver
had not been identified. Anyone who witnessed17 the accident or has information that will assist in locating18 the offender19, is asked to call police at (630) 801-6610 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000.

Running Away
by Bob Marley
Ya running and ya running
And ya running away. …
But ya can‘t run away from yourself
Can‘t run away from yourself. …
Ya must have done ,
Somet‘in‘ wrong.
Said: ya must have done,
Wo! Somet‘in‘ wrong.
Why you can‘t find the
Place where you belong11?
Every man thinketh his
Burden12 is the heaviest. …
Ya still mean it: Who feels it knows it, Lord13;.....
Brr - you must have done somet‘in‘ Somet‘in‘ ya don‘t want nobody to know about:.....
Well, well, well, well, ya running away, heh, no I‘m not , no, don‘t say that - don‘t say that,
I‘ve got to protect my life,
And I don‘t want to live with no strife.
It is better to live on the housetop
Than to live in a house full of confusion14.
So, I made my decision15 and I left16 ya;
Now you comin‘ to tell me
That I‘m runnin‘ away.
But it‘s not true,
I am not runnin‘ away.

for and choose a template3 on the net or bring along an old board to be used.
The websites below may be helpful. There are a lot more!
ƒ Think of and write down the rules4 of the game.
ƒ Some squares5/points have numbers. and when a player lands there, he/she has to do what is stated6 on the card
that goes with it. (e. g.7: Your parents do not allow8 you to do your driving licence – go back 3 spaces).
Alternatives:
