For each of these situations, give 2 suggestions and 2 pieces of advice.
1. It's late at night. Tony is home by himself. He hears a window break. He thinks it's a burglar.
- Why doesn’t he leave the house and go to the neighbor’s to call for help?
- Shall we call the local police to help him?
- If I were Tony (Were I Tony), I would pick up his baseball bat and go looking for the intruder.
- He should hide under the bed until the burglar leaves.
2. Bruce has helped his mother onto the train and escorted her to a seat. While he is saying goodbye, the train begins pulling away from the station. By the time he gets through the crowded aisles to the exit, the train is traveling fast.
3. Kim is an insomniac. Every night she tosses and turns until 2 or 3 a.m. and gets only a few hours of sleep. It's beginning to affect her work, as she has to be in her office at 8:00 A.M. She's always tired.
4. You were driving in the countryside late at night, and you noticed that you were almost Out of gas. You managed to make it to a small town nearby but discovered that the only gas station in town was closed. You decided to hitchhike to the next town and look for an open station, but the person who picked you up robbed you and left you stranded on a country road. Hitchhiking was a bad idea.
