2b Read the newspaper article. Which picture shows the real criminal?
An Interesting Job
Joe Brown has a very interesting job. He is a police artist. Some people see crimes and then talk to Joe.
Th ey tell him what the criminal looks like. Th en Joe draws a picture of the criminal, and the police put it in newspapers and on television to fi nd him.
He wants to draw a good picture of each criminal, but this job is sometimes diffi cult. Many people don’t always see things the same way so they may describe the same person diff erently. Also, they don’t always remember well. “Th e criminal is of medium build and young. He has long straight brown hair and big eyes,”
says one woman. Another woman says, “He is tall and thin, and he has curly blond hair. He’s about thirty years old.” In the end, the real criminal is a short and heavy old man, and he has short black hair!
