A. Read the text and say what advice you could give Jerry. It’s a fact that only one person among fourteen million wins the lottery. Sadly, knowing this fact doesn’t stop people from gambling. People of all ages gamble. A lot of teenagers become victims of this addiction. This is Jerry’s story: “I started betting on American football. I was gambling on all the sports. I did well at first. I couldn’t wait to get the sports page every day so I could see who to bet on. Then I discovered Internet gambling. I stayed up all night and I felt sleepy and tired at school. I began losing money but I still couldn’t stop gambling. I used my parents’ credit cards to gamble online. When the credit card companies started calling the house, I was thousands of dollars in debt. I know I’ve been doing wrong but I don’t know how to make myself stop gambling.” B. Speak about gambling. Say: •why gambling is dangerous; •what makes young people start gambling; •what one can do not to become a gambler or to stop gambling.
