11 . Youth violence was for a long time considered an American invention. But a lot of kids in Europe are getting involved in gangs too.
1) What problem is the story by Sylvia Sherry A Pair of Jesus-boots devoted to: vandalism, street disputes, street drug trafficking or something else? (reading for the main idea)
Joseph Terrace, in spite of the new blocks of flats, always had a sinister, dark appearance and it was generally fairly deserted as though people shunned it. The Cats always approached it cautiously, partly because of its sinister atmosphere.
They had brought a few sticks to fight with, but generally they fought with their fists. Once though, Spadge had produced a knuckleduster (кастет), and for months after that the Cats had kept clear of Chicktasks Lot.
The field of battle was to be the waste ground by the old houses and Chicktasks Lot should be hiding there in the darkness. The Cats approached cautiously. You could never tell. There might be a surprise attack.
But suddenly, dark forms moved out of the shadows. Chicktasks Lot were assembled, silent and threatening. The Cats stopped, and the two gangs faced each other across the waste ground with an area of hatred between.
"How many of them?" Rocky murmured to the Nabber.
"Cantaskt make out. Looks more than usual. But theytaskve brought in some of the Crown Street gang."
"Thattasks not fair!"
Rocky raised his voice.
"Hi, Chick! Whotaskve you got helping yer?"
"Only my Lot, Kitten. Turning yeller, are yer?"
"Wetaskre not! How long are yer gointask to stand looking?"
"Come on, fight then!"
"Spadge got his knuckle-duster, Itaskll bet."
"Come and fight out."
"Spadge is the yellowest," shouted the Nabber.
And suddenly the two groups of boys hurled themselves at each other. In the darkness little could be seen, but there were plenty of grunts and cries.
Billy sat on his bike at the side, frowning through his glasses, and holding Suzie firmly while she jumped up and down and shouted wildly. He wished they wouldntaskt fight. He just wished they wouldntaskt!
Billy couldntaskt make out how the battle was going, until he saw Beady stumble out of the dark mass and run towards him crying loudly.
"Hi, Beady! Whattasks the matter?"
Beady stumbled, holding his hands to his head, gotta = got a "Ittasks the Spadge! Hetasks gotta bicycle chain!" He stumbled on past Billy and Billy shivered, suddenly cold. Hetaskd seen plenty of violence, one way and another, in the streets round the flats, and he hated it.
