Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Маккинли, Хастингс 9 класс, Вентана-Граф: Romeo, Romeo, you’re under arrest, Romeo
A twenty-one-year-old man appeared at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday, accused of vandalism. The man, Chris Austin, a graphic artist, admits committing the crime, hut says he did it. for love. The judge said that love was no excuse.
It all began in 1997 when the Cooper family moved in next door to the Austins in Fairview Road, Nottingham. The new neighbors had children of the same age, and at first, they got on very well. They saw each other socially, they often had lunch together and the children, Chris and Jacky, used to walk to school together in the morning. Life was good.
A few years later, Chris and Jacky had fallen in love and were going out together. But then the two families fell out and the Coopers moved to a new house in Ludington — miles away on the other side of town!
Love is strong, and the young couple continued seeing each о titer in secret. But then one day in July Mrs. Cooper found out about the relationship and stopped Jacky from going out.
Chris was desperate without Jacky, so he decided to prove how much lie loved her.
The Cooper’s garden is always full of roses at this time of year. But when the sun came up on Saturday, Chris had pulled up the roses in the front garden and used them to write the message, ‘I love you’ on the lawn. He had painted ‘Cliris loves Jacky’ on the wall of the house. And he had poured pink paint over the Cooper’s car.
Mr Cooper called the police immediately.
