Question

level 2 unit 2 text training power pass part a
from vandal to artist
jeff castillo, 18, had serious discipline problems a few years ago. he did not control his behavior in or out of school. thinking back, he shakes his head. \i am not proud of that phase of my life,\ he says. \my mom used to say my friends were a bad influence. i think i was the bad influence. if i hadnt turned things around, who knows what would have happened?\
jeff had been a \tagger\. he spray - painted his personal signature on every available wall or surface. sometimes taggers use shoe polish instead of paint. other times they use their keys or other sharp objects to carve their signatures into glass or wood. this type of crime doesnt usually cause pain to another person. however, it can cost people a lot of money to replace their ruined items or repaint their walls. these vandals are not often caught. its very hard to report them when there is little evidence to use against them. usually the people who have their businesses and homes tagged are stuck paying the whole bill.

a art is sold
