I. Match the examples to the crimes

CRIMES
blackmail bribery burglary drug dealing fraud
hijacking mugging murder rape robbery
smuggling terrorism theft vandalism kidnapping

EXAMPLES
1. A gang took a rich man’s son and asked the family for money.
2. An insane woman went to her ex-husband’s house and shot him dead.
3. A passenger on a flight made the pilot land in the desert.
4. After the party the man made the woman have sex against her will.
5. We came home from holiday and found out that our TV had gone.
6. Someone tried to sell me some marijuana during a concert.
7. When the border police searched his car, it was full of cigarettes.
8. Someone threw paint on the statue in the park.
9. He said he’s send the photos to a newspaper if the actress didn’t pay him a lot of money.
10. An armed man walked into a bank and shouted, “Hands up!”
11. A man transferred company money into his own bank account.
12. A builder offered the mayor a free flat in return for a favor.
13. Two men left a bomb in the supermarket car park.
14. Somebody stole my car last night from outside my house.
15. A man held out a knife and made me give him my wallet.

II. Food for thought!
1. Have you ever heard any stories about manslaughter? Share with you friends those.
2. What are the differences among murder, manslaughter and assassination?
3. Is manslaughter considered to be a crime?
4. What are differences between voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter?
5. What punishments should be given for manslaughter?

Report “Manslaughter” workshop
Time: 15:00 Sunday, May 13, 2012
Address: 4th floor, ENCI English Center 76 Giai Phong Street,

Prior to the show time, many GALECers came early to catch up with one another since there had been no workshops during the 2 previous weeks. After the brief introduction from attendants, people had some fun with the game “let’s party” before getting down to the serious topic: “manslaughter”. 
In the 1st part, our MC conducted everyone to match the “criminal words” to the correlative examples. Through this activity, we could widen our vocabulary in huge demand. A patron told me after the workshop that she then understood the differences between “burglar” and “thief”; “assasinator” and “murderer” thanks to this part.
In the discussion section, GALECers got to raise their takes on the forth given issues: the duly punishments that people committing manslaughter should incur; when should a case be considered as “manslaughter”?; what is involuntary manslaughter?…
The workshop “manslaughter” ended up with… laughters after Uoc’s complex story about an accident in love.

“If someone gets on my nerves and makes me feel the urge to kill everyone in this room, should that be considered as a case of voluntary manslaughter?”

Ony when you were hired to kill well-known people, would you be called “assasinator”

Since the punishment for manslaughter is much lesser than murder, bad people may want to milk it for all it’s worth and kill someone “accidentally”…
