The war was the most terrible time of my life. For four long years, I lived in a w orld of violence and
danger. We expected every minute that a bomb would fall on our home and we would lose our lives.
When peace finally arrived, it began in an unpromising way. People broke into our home and stole
money and jewellery that we had managed to keep safe all throughout the war. But at least we had a
roof over our heads. After the war, many people were forced to live in b ombed-out buildings. Three
weeks ago, I received a letter from Amy Murray, our neighbour from that time. Back then I think I was a
little bit in love with her, but she had married an older man and moved away. I thought I had forgotten
about her. Yet I haven’t been able to think about anything else for the last three weeks.

Viet Cong's Cu Chi tunnels

Memories of the Vietnam War (or the 'American War', as they call it in Vietnam) may be fading away,
but more solid reminders of this conflict still remain. In the countryside just outside of Ho Chi Minh City
are the Cu Chi tunnels. Simply moving along inside these small tunnels, carved out by the Viet Cong, is
not easy The Viet Cong hid from the Americans in these tunnels, often leaving their safety only at night.
Conditions were hard: there were rats in the tunnels, food and water were scarce, and breathing was
difficult as the air was hot and stale. You can still visit the tunnels today, some of which have made
wider to accommodate Western tourists, who were straining to fit through the small spaces

Max: Did you know that all young men and women in Israel have to do military service?
Jill: Yes, and I think it's a good idea. I think we should have national service m our country too. I'd
love to do it!
Max: You're kidding, right?
Jill: No, I'm not! Military service teaches people discipline and it makes them into useful citizens.
That's what I think, anyway.
Max: So basically what you're saying is that everyone should have a military education as well as an
academic education.
Jill: Basically, yes. As we've seen in the case of Paris recently, nowhere is 100 percent safe. We all
need to take our security more seriously. And trained civilians who have done military training
can only help to keep us safer. Don't you agree?
Max: Not at all I'm against military service, definitely. What we need is more people who are
committed to peace, not more people who are trained to fight and use weapons.
