 A police officer's duties

What does a police officer do? With a partner,

list as many activ'ties as you can think of in
two minutes,
A police officer has given a talk to a school class
about his iob. As part of the talk, he gave out an
information pack to the students. Read the
extra.ts from the information pack below. What
activities does he mention? How many are the
same 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 so nvestgate cr mes ke robberes When there has been a cr me,
a
po ce off ceTs are sent io the p ace where ll happened. They need to look for evidence, like
fingerpr 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 do
that. Po ce officers also have to ask a ot of questions. They nterview wtnesses who they
th nk m ght have nformaijon about the cr me. W tnesses caf he p the po ce by te jng them

 Military iobs

Look at the pictures. Which of the job5 looks the most interesting?
Which do you think you can do in the military?

Haue you euer thought about

joining 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 ly

needed 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 earningnewthinqsina
classroom. 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.

Ahlom: Wowl ls that your car?

Nourr Yesl Nice, isn't it? I bought it
yesterday. Do you want to go for a
drive? We could go to the beach.
Ahlom: Sute, that's a great idea. l'd
love a car like this one. How did you
pay for it?

Nourj I got a car loan.

Ahlom:fhal's a good idea. Maybe
should do that. lf I got a car loan,
would I have to make a big down
payment?
Nourj No. I didn't pay any money in advance at all. ljust have to pay a certain amount
every month.
Ahlom:Ihal's even betterl But the monthly instalments must be pretty high. What
are 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.

Ahlam: Well, I suppose it's more enjoyable than putting your rnoney in the bank and
waiting for it to earn interest! Maybe lshou d make an investment like this.
Nourj Here we are. The beach. Do you think I can fit into that parking space?
Ahlam: Surc. Uh, no, maybe not. (Sound of crash) Oh, no. I think one of your lights

 The Euphrates River

. Look at the photos. What do you think the article will be about?

. 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. lt
begins n the Caucasus lvlounta ns, and flows through Turkey, Syria and lraq. The upper
part 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 the
Arabian 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 dams
on 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 tsuppliesa
large 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.

Section A: The Swing

Mohammed Khudhair
Moharnmed Khudhair is an Iraqi ivriter. He was born in Basra in 1942. He
ffnished his prima4', internrediate and secondarv study in Barra. He joined
the High School for Teachers and ffnished his study there in 1961. He
taught at schools in Diwanilya, Nassiriya and Basra for more than thirtv
years. His ftrst short stories appeared in TIte Iruqi Writer (AI Adeeb AI [rnai)
magazine in 1962.

His short stories are translated into English, Russian and French. He has
won nrany prizes, incltdlng the Suban AI Ownis's Auard in the lJnited Arab
Emirates in 2004 arrd th< Gold Pen Award from the General Union oflraqi
Writers in 2008.

Hc achieved fame in the Middle East after publishing his two short stories 'The Swing'
and 'Melodies on the String of Rubaaba' in the Beirut Arts nrgazine.

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 wrote
this 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 difficult
to control the personal feelings stolning inside a young man with q!t{s
experience in politics and war. Ycl I was tully aware ofthe conditions of
story-Iiriting.
'The Swing' is a severe condemnation ofwar wherever it happens. It is a sincere
invitation 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 a
message for the farnily of his friend. His friend, Ali, was killed in batde, leaving his
modrer, his wife and his litrle daughter, Haleema.

85
 Arr indescibable dialosue goes on
between Sattar and the little girl while he
svayl her in her s*ing. He tries to
conwince the child that her father is like
srnoLe 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.r
family 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.

Excerpt from 'The Swing'

Section B: The Canary

'The Candry',
by Katherine Mansfield

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

... You cannot imaginc how woDderhLlly he sang. It u'as not

like lhe singing of other canarics. And rhat isn'tiust my
fancy. Olten, from the $'i11dow I used to see people stop at
the gatc to lislen, or they rvould lean over drc fcnce by the
mock orangc for quite a lolg tirne-canied away.

for instancc, whcn I'd finished the house in the aftcmoon. ald changed my blouse and brought my
se$'ing on to the vcral'Idah herc, he used ro /?op*. hop, hop lrom onepercr* to anothcr, tap agairrst the
bars as if 10 attract my attention, sip a little water, just as a profcssional singei might. and thcn break
into a song so erquilile* that I had to put ml' nccdle down 10 listen to hin. I can't describe it; I I'ish I
could. But it was always the seme, every afternoon. and I felt lhat I undcrstood cvery note ofit.

... I loved him. How I loved himl terhaps it docs not matter so very much what it is one loves in this
world. BLL1 love something one must! Olcourse thcrc was always my litt1c housc and the garden, but
for some reason they uere llcvcr enough. Flo\vers respond wonderfully, but they don't .rl,npatlrlse* . .
I loved thc cvening star ... But aftcr hc came into my lile I forgot lhe eveniig star; I did not need it any
more. But it was stlange. When the Chinanan who came 10 thc door with birds to sell hcld him up irr
his lin), cage, and instead oI !4leti]tg, fluttering, like the poor little gridfinthe'*. he ga';e a faint, snall
chirp, I fuund mysclf saying, jusl as I had said to thc star ovei the g1rm trcc, 'There you are. my
darling.' l_rom that momcnt hc was rninel

It surpises me even now to rcmcnlbcr ho\r'he and I shared cach olher's lives. Thc rnonren! I came
...
do$n in the moming and took the clofi off his cage he lireeted me \\ith a drct$y litrlc note. I krew it
mcarl 'Missusl Missusl' Then I hung him on thc nall outside whilc I got rny thr.ee young nlcn their
breakfasts. and I never brought him in. to do his cagc, until ."r,e had thc housc to ourselves again. Then,
lvhen the $'ashirrg-LLp was done, it was quite a little entcfiainment. I sprcad a newspaper ovcr a comer
oflhe table and when I put the cagc on ir he used ro beat $'ith his wings, 1e.\pdi-ir?g/r,*, as ifhc didrl'r
know what was corning. 'You're a regular ljltle aclor,' I uscd to SgqLl him.I scraped* the tray. dusted jt
with fiesh sand, fillcd his seed and watcr tins, lugkgl a piece of crlclr.Lecl* and halfa chili bctwccn the
bars. And I am perlcctly certain he understood and appreciated cvery item ofthis little performance.
You see by nature he was exquisitely neat ... And vou'd only to scc him enjoy his bath to rcalise he had
a rcal snrali passion for cleanliness ...

... Company, you sec, tl,at was what he was. Ped'cct company. Ifyou havc livcd alone you will rcalisc
how preclous that is. Ofcoursc there were my three young men who came in to supDcI e\ ery e\ enmg,

89
 and somctimcs they sta)ed in Lhe dining room aftcn\,ards reading the paper. But I could nol expect
tbcm to be interested in tbe liLLle things that made my day ... But I remember' feclirrg so espcciall,v
thankful that I was nol rluite alonc that evening. I told him, atler lhey had gonc out. I sald, 'Do you
know \\fiat they call Mlssus?'And he put his head on onc sidc and Iookcd at me u,ith his litde brjsht
cyc until I could not help laughi g. Ii seemed to ilDuse hirn.

... IIavc you kept birds? Jfyou havcn't all this nusr sound, perhaps, rrrlggel'./ted*. People have the
idca drat birds are heartless. cold littlc .r€dtr.//e-r*. not likc doE:s or cats. N4y washerworna Llsed to sa!
cvcry N{onday \r'hen she wondcrcd $'hy I didn't kecp 'a ce lbx tcfiier' 'There's no conlfort. Miss. in
a canary.' Un1ruel Drcadfulh untruel I lemernbcr onc night. I had had a very allfrl* drcam ... eten
after 1 had wokcn up I could not get ovcr it. So I put on nry dressing-gown alld went do\\'n to the
kilchcn lor a glass ofwaLer. It was a $inter nighl and raining hard. I suppose I was stil1 halfasleep. but
through thc kitcheD wjndolv... it sccmcd to me fie dark $as slaring in, .tprl/?s*. And slLddenly I lell lt
was unbearable lhat I lrad no orc to wllom I could sal 'l'\'c had such a dreadful drearn.'or or 'llidc
rne lrorn the dark.'I clen covered my lacc lor a nllnutc. And thcn there came a liltle SweeLl Swcctl'
... 'S$cctl S\1'eet!'said fie darling littlc 1illo$ again, soft1y. as muoh as to sey. 'l'rn here. l\'tissus! l'm

... And now he's gone. I shall ncvcr havc anodler bird, anolher pel ofany kind. ilo\1'could I? Whcn I lbund

Checklist for written work
Planning your work
. Read the question carefully. Underline the important parls. Do you understand it?
f it is not clear, then ask your teacher.
. Brainstorm as many ideas as you can of what you are going to write about.
Write them down as a list or mind map.
. Look up any vocabulary that you are unsure of.
. Select the ideas yor.r want to use and d-"lete any that are not relevant.
You don't have to use everything.
. Put your ideas into a ogical order and group ideas that go together in sections.
. lf you can, find a model text and ook at the sty e and layout. Are there any phrases
or vocabulary that you can adapt for your own work? (Be careful not to copy chunks of
the model text without changing it though-)
. Think about who you are writing for and decide on the sty e and layout. For example,
ifyou are writing a letter to afriend, the stye wil be different to a formal etterandthe
layout wil be different to a story

Writing and revising your work

. Use the ideas from your planning to write the first draft. Don't worry too much about
accuracy or choosing the right words.
. Remember to start a new paragraph every time you move on to a new idea or topic.
. Read through your first draft and check that you have answered the question correctly.
. Decide if you want to de ete, change or add any more ideas-
. Decide whether you want to change the paragraphing or the order of the ideas.
. Check that you have linked your ideas using connecting words and phrases
(e.9., first, next, then, eL).
. Walte a second draft more carefully and s ow y. Make sure your writing is clear.

Editinq your work

. Read through your work. Check you have answered the question correctly, every sentence
is cleat the grammar is correct, you have used suitable vocabu ary and linking words, the
spelling is correct. (Check with a dictionary.)
. Show your woak to your family or a friend and see if they can he p you edit it.
. Editing tip: You could try reading the text in reverse order, starting with the final sentence
and working backwards to the first sentence. This will stop you being distracted by the
content and al ow you to focus on technica details.
