15. THE FIGHT (present perfect passive and active)

It is a hot day in the Philippines. In an isolated part of the sea, a Dutch guy and a Filipino are on a boat fighting for their lives. Are they fighting with sticks? Are they fighting with knives? Are they using their fists? Are they using their teeth? The Dutch guy’s name is Herman. The Filipino guy’s name is Marvin. The two of them fight like wild animals. A big ugly guy with a beard attacks Herman. Herman punches him. Have you ever punched anybody? Have you ever been punched?

Below deck Herman finds four prisoners. They are his girlfriend, a Japanese girl called Naoko, and three Filipino divers called Gill, Melvin and Raymond. They are locked up. Have you ever been locked up? Have you ever locked anybody up?

Under the water, some divers are looking for Yamashita’s gold. The divers come up. Herman and Marvin tie them up. They tie everybody up. Do they tie them up with rope or chains? Have you ever tied anybody up? Have you ever been tied up? Marvin goes to the helm. He starts the boat. Have you ever driven a boat? The boat motors to a nearby island. A Japanese antique dealer called Taro and an Israeli businessman called Mr Silberstein and a World war two Japanese soldier called Kenzaburo are waiting on the beach. Mr Silberstein shouts at the prisoners. Have you ever been shouted at? Have you ever shouted at anybody? Kenzaburo ties the prisoners to a tree. Have you ever been tied to a tree? Have you ever tied somebody to a tree?

Naoko wants to go home. Marvin wants to kill the prisoners. Mr Silberstein wants to look for the treasure. Herman wants to call the police. They argue. What would you do? Are the police in the Philippines corrupt? Are the police everywhere corrupt? Would you be corrupt if you were a cop? Is being a policeman a good job?
What should they do with the treasure?
