Picture Descriptions

Image one
Image two

Look at each picture and think of the following:
1. What is the person's appearance like?
2. Based on that, what could be their character?
3. What kind of lifestyle could they be leading?

Does any kind of story that would best describe the events in the photo come to your mind? Spend 5-10 minutes on writing / speaking.

Cyber Crime

Before you listen, think of the following:

1. Do you know what scamming and phishing is?
2. Have you ever received scamming / phishing letters or e-mails? What was your reaction?
3. What do you think: is this a serious offence? Why? / Why not?
4. What punishment should such thieves receive?




Watch, listen, and try to answer the following questions:
- What happened to the woman’s bank account?
- What do phishers do with your computer?
- Where would clicking a link lead you to?
- What does the new type of phishing scam do?

Thoughts for discussion

1. The law is made for the fools to follow, and for the smart ones to use.
2. The law is the basis for the society. Without it, no culture could exist as such.

Which one do you support and why?
