News Scavenger Hunt



Scavenger Hunt means that a game in which the organizers prepare a list defining specific items and seek to gather all items on the list, usually without purchasing them. It is very funny game. I participated in it by a team and individual.

 Yesterday, I skimmed the Easy English News while dozing off in the evening. I didn't know some new words. After scavenger hunt, I might have never forgotten the "Scam meaning", a set of lies or stories to trick people. As a member of my team, I found out the answers about 6 to 9 questions.
 I would like to choose the 6 question, "What are some differences between civil law and criminal law?"




[ Civil law ]
  It deals with disputes between people or between people and organizations, such as immigration, citizenship, marriage, adoption, divorce, property, wills.
  It takes many years to settle
  It needs lawyers but small cases(under $3,000) don't need a lawyer.
[ Criminal law ]
  It deals with crimes criminals between prosecutions such as robbery, murder.
  It may be taken short time to trial.
  It needs lawyers but the government provides an attorney for poor people without money.
