What does a police officer do? With a partner,list as many activ'ties as you can think of intwo minutes,

A police officer has given a talk to a school classabout his iob. As part of the talk, he gave out aninformation pack to the students. Read theextra.ts from the information pack below. Whatactivities does he mention? How many are thesame as your ideas?

People have to lollow the law so thai we can a I ive

together safely. There are a lot of d fferent aws. so

pollce officers have a ot of d fferent duties Some

offcers clirect lraffic to make sure thaL dlvers can

use the roads east y and w thout hav ng acc dents

They a so use radar speed gufs to dentify people

who are clr v ng too fast. This is very important Drivers

mustn't speed because speed ng s one of the eading

causes ol death on the road. Po ice offcers also check

that drivers and passenge6 are weat ng the r seat belts

Some peop e get angry because they don t ke to wear

them, bLrL seat bells can prevent serious inluries f you

have an acc deni. So remember, when you get nto a

car. you must wear your seat beltl

Of course police officers a so nvestgate cr mes ke robberes When there has been a cr me,po ce off ceTs are sent io the p ace where ll happened. They need to look for evidence, likefingerpr nts and footprints, which can be used to identiry and arrest the crim fal Of course,they don't have t0 recognize the f ngerpr nts themse vesl There are fingerprint expeds who dothat.

Military iobs

Look at the pictures. WhichWhich do you think you can

of the job5 looks the most interesting?do in the military?

Haue you euer thought aboutjoining the military?There are many different mi itary jobs, so yo! should be ab e to flnd

one thats right for you. The military has three branches: tlreLand

Force, the Navy and the Air Force. lf yo! choose the Land Force, you

can h elp protect the country from lhe ground. ln the Navy yoL carl

work on or with the ships that protect our lvaters. 11you ike aircraft,

yoLr can ioin the Air Force and work with airp anes and helicopters.

You nust be l8 years old to join.

Not alLjobs ir, the military involve fighing. For exarnple, there are many

interesting jobs for peop e with a iechnica backqro!nd. lf you are

interested in computers, yo! can becorne a complter specialist. The

mi ltary needs computeTs to keep and organize informatiorl about many

things, sLrch asthe weather and temperature. And it needs people who

know computers to install and mainlain the software and hardware.

There are a so non lechnicaljobs in the milltary. Drivers are !sua lyneeded to transporl food and eq uipm ent from one place to another.

You might have to use a radio, but you neednl be very techn cal But

you do have to be in good physical conditlon. Drjving a rnilitary vehicle

ls not like diving your car on the roadl You must be ab e to drive off

the road and in bad weather conditions.

I\,4ost peop e want a chance to get a better job if they are good at

what they do. ln the military, you can take a test to become an otficer.

otficers lrave more responsibiliry and more ditficult jobs, but rnany

peop e think those jobs are also more interesting. officers can do

rnany ditferent jobs, too:they can p iot airplanes, superuise co'nputer

technicians, or even be doctors at the army base.

You don't have to have o lot of experience when yo! join the military.

When you start, you spend a otofllme earningnewthinqsinaclassroom. Thef you get a lot of practice using your new ski s. The

things you earn are not on y !sefL whi e yoL are in the mllitary, brlt

can be usetul oltside, too. This means that when vou leave the

rnllitary, Vour trainin0 can he p you find a civilian job.

Nourr Yesl Nice, isn't it? I bought ityesterday. Do you want to go for a

drive? We could go to the beach.

Ahlom: Sute, that's a great idea. l'dlove a car like this one. How did youpay for it?

Nourj I got a car loan.

Ahlom:fhal's a good idea. Maybeshould do that. lf I got a car loan,would I have to make a big downpayment?

Nourj No. I didn't pay any money in advance at all. ljust have to pay a certain amountevery month.

Ahlom:Ihal's even betterl But the monthly instalments must be pretty high. Whatare they?

Nourj About 2 million lraqi dinars. lt wasn't that expensive, because it isn't a new car.

Abldnl lt looks newl

Noun The owner took really good care of it. lt's actually three yea6 old.

Ahlom: How larg do you have to pay it back?

Nour; Five years.

Ahlom:fhal's a long time. Won't it cost you a lot in interest?

Nour: Yeah. But it's worth it. This sort of car is a real investment. lt won't lose mon-.v.n fact, it may even go up in value.

. Read the article and write a headinq for each section.

The Euphrates River, which ls 2,800 km long, is the longest river in the Nliddle East. ltbegins n the Caucasus lvlounta ns, and flows through Turkey, Syria and lraq. The upperpart of the river runs through steep gorges and cannot be used for navigation. The lower

part of the river is quite shal ow, so only smaller boats can use that. ln souihern lraq,

the river joins with the llgris River to form the Shatt al Arab, whlch then flows into theArabian Gulf .

The area between the ELrphrates River and the Tgris River, in what is now lraq, was the

birthplace of some of the ear lest civi izations ln the world. At that tlme, the river was used

for trafspoar, and some of the most famous ancient cities were built on the banks of the

Euphrates. The rulns of anc ent BabyLon can still be seen near the river. Today we can see

some important modern cities, such as An Najaf n lraq, along the banks of the river.

Theriverisan important natura resource forthe region. All three countries have damson the river. The Euphrates dam jn Syria forms a reseryoir that is used fo[ irrigat ng

cotton crops. lt also has a hydroelectric power plant, which uses the water to operate

turbines that generate electrlcity. Thls plant is extreme y important, as tsuppliesalarge percentage of Syria's electrlcity. ln Turkey, the Ataturk Dam is the largest of a

series of twenty-two dams that are planned on the Euphrates and lgris rivers. ln

addition to providing hydroelectrlc power, it prov des irrigation for crops such as cotton,wheat, barley and lentils. The dam has created a lake that is also used for sail ng and

other water sports, and it holds a famous water sports festival every year.

His best works include 'The Black Kingdon', 'At 45 centigrade', 'Autumn Dream','Embalmment', 'Gardens of Faces' and the novl Basriata,

The Swing

'The Swing' is one ofthe best short stories about qar. Mohammed Kfiudhair wrotethis shon story after the stmrner 1967 war against Israel. Khudhair later wrote:

I was 25 years old when I wrote 'The Swing'. I actually found it wery difficultto control the personal feelings stolning inside a young man with q!t{sexperience in politics and war. Ycl I was tully aware ofthe conditions ofstory-Iiriting.

'The Swing' is a severe condemnation ofwar wherever it happens. It is a sincereinvitation to sustain farnily life, to rnake childhood secure and to love one another.

It tells about a soldier, Sattar, who has just retr:rned frorn the hell ofwar carrying amessage for the farnily of his friend. His friend, Ali, was killed in batde, leaving hismodrer, his wife and his litrle daughter, Haleema.

85

Arr indescibable dialosue goes onbetween Sattar and the little girl while he

svayl her in her s*ing. He tries toconwince the child that her father is likesrnoLe arrd she can see him only when she

closes her eyes. Sattar cannot ffnd arry

other ea1 ro inforn, rl,e linle girl and h.rfamily that his friend AIi ha; left forewer,

though he left honourably.

The story stresses that war destroys

everything. It leads to nothing but death,deo:,iqtlqa and destruction.

Section B: The Canary

'The Candry',by Katherine Mansfield

... You see that big nail to the right ofthe front door? I canscarcely look aI i1 everl now and yet I could not bear to takeit out- I should llke ro think it was rhere always even d/ier,n tllre*. I sometimes hear thc ncxt pcoplc saying, 'Theremust ha\,e been a cage hanging from there.'And lt comfofismc. I leel he is not clujte forgotten.

... You cannot imaginc how woDderhLlly he sang. It u'as notlike lhe singing of other canarics. And rhat isn'tiust myfancy. Olten, from the $'i11dow I used to see people stop atthe gatc to lislen, or they rvould lean over drc fcnce by themock orangc for quite a lolg tirne-canied away.

Then,lvhen the $'ashirrg-LLp was done, it was quite a little entcfiainment. I sprcad a newspaper ovcr a comeroflhe table and when I put the cagc on ir he used ro beat $'ith his wings, 1e.\pdi-ir?g/r,*, as ifhc didrl'rknow what was corning.
