Readers are invited to choose responses in situations such as confronting perceived poor service, handling social discomfort after moving to a new country, reacting to a bear in the forest, and resolving dilemmas in selling a bicycle or spending shared food money. The material emphasizes reflection and choosing actions that consider others and long-term impact.","Literacy International: What Should You Do?  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish Personal Development  \nLiteracy International: What Should You Do?  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2018, Literacy International  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

They make ... YOU (and me) DECIDE.  \nA few old friends suddenly come to visit. You haven’t seen them for a long time and you want to give them something to eat. You go to the store. You don’t want to waste time.  \nThe cashier tells long stories and jokes with her friends. You think she isn’t doing her work. You want to buy just four things and a lady in front of you has a huge cart full of groceries. You have to wait.  \nYou get angry. You decide to:  \n1. Tell the cashier she’s not doing her job and is wasting your time  \n2. Tell the manager that you are getting bad service in his store and will go somewhere else.  \n3. Stand to the side of the line where a huge load is. Go thank the cashier for all that she has to do. Then ask politely to go ahead in the line. Say you want to buy just four things and they would not take much time.  \n* * * * * *  \nYou are walking in a deep forest. Suddenly a black bear stands close and watches you. He is very tall. Do you:  \n1. Yell and run as fast as you can  \n2. Try to climb any tree near you  \n3. Lie down,“play dead” and wait as long as you have to  \n4. Move very slowly and step backward  \nYou move to a new town in the U.S.A. Your family comes from the U.K. They know how to play cricket but the students here know only about baseball. Your English is very different from theirs. They think you are very strange.  \nYou decide to:  \n1. Tell your mother you don’t like this new country. Have her go with you to explain this to a teacher or Principal.  \n2. Look for someone from the UK. Tell him or her that you have just arrived and need some help getting used to the U.S.A.  \n3. Go each day to the baseball field and watch the games. Study how the players move and listen to what they say. Try to understand what makes them angry or sad. Look to see how baseball is like cricket.  \n4. Watch baseball games on TV. Learn all you can about the game. Take time. Then go on the field and ask to join in the play.  \nYou are selling a bicycle. You agree on a price with one young man. He says he will come pay for it the next day. But when that time comes, another man arrives with the same amount of money. You find out that the first man already has a bicycle. He just wanted another one so that he could show it off to his friends. The second man doesn’t have any bicycle and he needs it to get to work.  \nWhich man will you sell it to:  \n1. the one who spoke for it first  \n2. the one who really needs it  \n3. the one who could pay the highest price  \nYou agree to make a stew for a women’s luncheon. Mrs. Brown gives you the money to buy the food you will need. She also gives you the recipe she wants you to follow. It includes chicken, rice, onions, carrots, peas, celery, garlic and peppers. You go buy all but the celery and carrots at one store. That store’s celery and carrots are old. You go to another store.  \nBut on your way you meet a very hungry man. He is so hungry that he looks sick. He asks you please to give him something. The money you were going to spend on celery and carrots is just enough to buy him a sandwich and a drink. Which do you spend the money on?  \n1.","cbCaisTrWH5pVXS5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTrWH5pVXS5","pdf",273514,3,1,15,"English","en",105,"# Literacy International: What Should You Do?\n## Everyday
