You as a Constable

Hey, see what I came across - Interactive Games! You can check if you'd be a good police officer. Just watch a scenario and choose the right way of reaction. It's FUN, I promise. Check it out on http://www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/specials/interactive-games-scenarios-angryman.html

Project 2, Topic 1 - Volunteering

Hi there,

(PART 1)
as you're teenage students, you probably take part in various (=różne) activities. Have you ever taken part (=brać udział) in volunteering (working for free, =wolontariat)?
If so, what did you do? How long did you do it? Did you learn anything while doing the work?
Another question is, what can you do as a volunteer?
And finally, why do young people take it up (=podjąć się)?

(PART 2)
please do some research (=praca badawcza) on the topic "Volunteering as a Police Officer." Click on the following link http://www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/specials/ and find out about being a special constable (=posterunkowy) in the UK:
1) "Special constables work alongside regular police officers and enjoy all the variety of policing London." What activities do they do and which of them would you enjoy doing most?

2) You realize (=zdawać sobie sprawę) you won't be paid. What do you get instead? How do you benefit (=skorzystać)?

3) What does utility belt include (zawiera)?

4) What is an epaulette? Where do you wear it?

Last question concerns the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jls8Bb2PVTw&feature=relmfu. Watch it and decide:
5) Would you like to be a special constable?

If you're interested, see one more video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iJjkPrjJ0E&feature=player_embedded and find out how British constables conduct stop and search.

Looking forward to your comments,
Best.

Idioms

idiom 1: to save (something) for a rainy day - zachować coś na czarną godzinę
np. You shouldn't spend all you've got; you'd better save some money for a rainy day.

my question: Are you that kind of person who saves money for a rainy day?
Do you think it is a good idea to save something for a rainy day? Why?

some extra vocabulary:
THRIFTY (oszczędny) is when you're careful about how you spend your money
and
SPENDTHRIFT (rozrzutny) is the opposite, you're careless about money and you usually spend more than you need to

TO SAVE (oszczędzać) is the opposite of TO WASTE (marnować)

my question again: What do you waste your money on?

Project Task 1

Imagine your life is a book. In about 100 words write a book blurb encouraging others to read it. Your book won't have any pages, but only a book cover. You can decorate it in your own special way. And give it a title too!
