A police officer's duties 2
~ Of course, police officers also investigate crimes like robberies. When there has been a crime,
police officers are sent to the place where it happened. They need to look for evidence, like
fingerprints and footprints, which can be used to identify and arrest the criminal. Of course,
they don't have to recognize the fingerprints themselves! There are fingerprint expe1is who do
that. Police officers also have to ask a lot of questions. They interview witnesses who they
th ink might have information about the cri me. Witnesses can help the police by telling them
what a criminal looks like or what time a crime was committed.
Police officers try to prevent cnmes as well as solve crimes. They often watch places where
they thin k crimes are likely to happen. For example, crowded areas attract pickpockets who
try to steal people's wallets. Shops that sell expensive items also attract thieves. But police
officers also help people with everyday problems. For example. if you're lost, you needn't
worry, you can JUSt ask a police officer for directions!

Subject : I You won'l believe what happened I
Dear Ann,
You won't believe what happened last night. I was sound asleep, when all or a sudden I heard a
loud crash. Of course I was terrified. I knew my parents were asleep (it was around 11.00), but I
thought I heard somebody downstairs. I didn't know what to do, so I ran to wake my parents. My
father made me go back to my room. then he went downstatrs to find out what had happened. He
found a big mess. There were papers and a broken vase on the living room floor. We had been
robbed! My father called the police. Luckily the burglar had already left, and no one got hurt.
r m not scared anymore. but I feel really angry. My father had his computer stolen and my Science
report was on the hard disk! Now I have to write it all over again. And the Jewellery my father gave
my mother for her btrthday was stolen, too. She's really upset.
The police told us they think the robber came in through the window. My father is getting the lock
replaced today. The police were very nice, but they don't think we'll get our things back. Well, I'll tell
you more about it at school tomorrow.

RADAR
Radar was invented d1.Ll'ing World War IT to detect enemy a.ircrait and
ships. After that, it was used for many other things, including weather
prediction. Police officers started using radar speed guns to catch speeders over
50 years ago. Although new technology is being developed today, radar speed
guns are still one of the most common tools in law enforcement.
A radar speed gun works by sending radio waves towards a car. When the
waves rut the car, they bounce back towards tbe radar gun. If tbe car isn't
mm."ling, the radio waves are the same as when they were sent. If the car 1s
moving, however, the space between the radio waves changes. The radar gun
uses this information to calculate the speed of the car. Radar guns work when the car is
moving towards or away from them. So you can't avold a ticket by speeding away!
There are different types of radar gullS. Some are handheld and are shaped a bit like
guns. They can be used by police officers who are waiting for speeders by the side of
the road. Police officers can also use them from moving vehicles. In that case, the
radar gun takes into account the speed of the police vehicle. Some radar guns can take
a picture of a car's license plate as well as measure its speed. With this type of radar
goo, police don't have to stop the speeding car. They use the informat.ion on the license
plate to identify the owner of the car. They then send him or her a speeding ticket.
Some drlvers try to avoid radar guns so that they won't get ticket-s.
They use radar detectors that detect if a radar gun is being used
nearby. These machines make a beeping sound when they detect a
radar gun, and the driver slows down. However, some police officers
don't turn on thelr radar guns until they see a car that they think
is speeding. If that happens, the radar gun measures the driver's
speed before tbe driver even knows the radar gun is there. Another
problem is that, in some places, radar detectors are illegal and you
can get a fine for having one.
Some people claim radar guns can make mistakes and that drivers get tickets when they
(
shouldn't. However, there aren't many mistakes if the radar gUns are used correctly and
police officers are trained to use them properly. There are also rules about rada.r gun
maintenance. If the radar guns are checked and flxed regularly, they are a.n essential
tool in helping keep our roads safe.

could eat as much as you wanted! Breakfast
consisted of fruit, cereal, eggs, cakes, bread,

there was a lot of great seafood. I loved the
octopus, which is a speciality in Kerkennah.

Dear Mazen,
Guess what? Tomorrow is t he big day! My plane leaves for London at 3.00, and soon I'll be able to see all the sights
we read abou t in the guidebook.
I've already packed my suitcase. I bought some new clothes and a couple more guidebooks. I t ried not to pack too
much but it's pretty heavy. Once I get to England, I'll have to take a tax1. There's no way I can carry it all on the
Underground! I wonder how much you tip taxi drivers in England?
Last Monday I went to the bank and got some trav el ler's cheque s for my trip. They're great because t hey're safer
than cash. I signed the cheques in one place at the bank, and when I want to buy something in London, I have to sign
the cheque again in front of the cashier. That way, nobody else can use them.
My banker told me I should also get some local currency, because not all places take traveller's cheques. I'll take my credit
card too. That's accepted internationally, but I can't really use it to tip the taxi driver or travel round by bus or Underground!
So I will definitely need some cash in my pocket. As you probably know, many countries in Europe use the Euro, but in the UK
people use pounds . Do you know the exchange rate between Iraqi dinars and pounds? 1,000 Iraqi dinars is almost 0.57
pounds. My father told me everything in London is expensive, so I'Uhave to be careful what I spend.
I'll bring you back a souvenir. Let me know if there's anything particular you'd like me to get you. And keep in touch.
There's an Internet cafe next to my hotel, so I can check my e-mail whenever I want.

waiting for it to earn interest! Maybe I should make an investment like this.
Nour: Here we are. The beach. Do you think I can fit into that parking space?

Lesson 1
Our natural resources
AB 172/ 173
Skim-read the texts and match each paragraph to the most appropriate photograph.
[ID Natural resources are materials that are found in nature. Air, water, land and trees are all natural
resources, as are petrol and gas. We use natural resources in hundreds of different ways. For example,
we use land to grow food and water to drink. We use petrol and gas for energy. Because they are so
essential to human life, natural resources must be used wisely.
~ Some natural resources are renewable. This means that they do not disappear completely when they
are used, or that they can replace themselves as quickly as they are used . Trees are a renewable
resource because more trees can be planted and grow. Some resources, however, are nonrenewable.
These cannot replace themselves as quickly as they are used. Petrol is considered a nonrenewable
resource because it takes thousands of years to form. We know that nonrenewable resources must be
used as efficiently as possible, and we must concentrate on developing other methods of using
renewable resources, such as energy from the sun.
Sometimes, the way we use natural resources can harm the environment. Coal and petrol cause greenhouse
gases that contribute to global warming. Another potentially disastrous activity is that large numbers of trees
are cut down by farmers or logging companies, and new ones cannot grow fast enough to replace them.
This process is called deforestation, and endangers the habitats of other plants and many animals.
Destruction of the previously plentiful rainforests is particularly worrying, as these trees are the source of
much of the world's oxygen. Fortunately, scientists are finding ways to limit damage to the environment
when these resources are used, but a lot of work still needs to be done.

I! Dear sir/madam,
I am writing about the government's plan to build a wind farm off the coast. I think this plan is
ridiculous. Wind turbines are incredibly ugly and really noisy, and I can understand why people
don 't want them on land. But that is no reason to put them in the sea! People who live on the
coast want a view of the ocean, not of a wind farm. Some scientists say wind power is clean
energy and is good for the environment, but it's certainly not good for the birds! Hundreds of
them fly into wind turbines and die every year. They're also bad for fishing. They scare away the
fish. I am a fisherman with a small boat and I can't go into very deep waters to catch fish. If this
wind farm project is completed, I won't be able to earn a living any more and I won't be t he only
one. Finally, I've heard that wind turbines might interfere with the radars on boats. If that's true,
the turbines could cause dangerous accidents at sea. Surely this project can't go ahead!

Lesson 7
The Euphrates River
AB 185
Loo k at t he p hot os. What do you thi nk the article w ill be about ?
The Euphrates River, which is 2,800 km long, is the longest river in the Middle East. It
begins in the Caucasus Mountains, and flows through Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The upper
part of the river runs through steep gorges and cannot be used for navigation. The lower
part of the river is quite shallow, so only smaller boats can use that. In southern Iraq,
the river joins with the Tigris River to form the Shatt ai-Arab, which then flows into the
Arabian Gu lf.
The area between the Euphrates River and the Tigris River, in what is now Iraq, was the
birthplace of some of the earliest civilizations in the world. At that time, the river was used
for transport, and some of the most famous ancient cities were built on the banks of the
Euphrates. The ruins of ancient Babylon can still be seen near the river. Today we can see
some important modern cities, such as An Najaf in Iraq, along the banks of the river.
The river is an important natural resource for the region. All three countries have dams
on the river. The Euphrates dam in Syria forms a reservoir that is used for irrigating
cotton crops. It also has a hydroelectric power plant, which uses the water to operate
turbines that generate electricity. This plant is extremely important, as it supplies a
large percentage of Syria's electricity. In Tu rkey, the Ataturk Dam is the largest of a
series of twenty-two dams that are planned on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. In
addition to providing hydroelectric power, it provides irrigation for crops such as cotton,
wheat, barley and lentils. The dam has created a lake that is also used for sailing and
other water sports, and it holds a famous water sports festival every year.

The Swing
'The Swing' is one of the best short stories about war. Mohammed Khudhair wrote
this short story after the Sllm mer 1967 war against Israel. Khudhair later wrote:
I was 25 years old when I wrote 'The Swing'. I actually folllld it very difficult
to control the personal feelings storming inside a young man with crude
experience in politics and war. Yet, I was fully aware of the conditions of
story-writing.
Ir teUs about a soldier, Sattar, who has just return ed from the hell of war carrying a
message for the family of his friend. His friend, Ali, was killed in battle, leaving his
mother, lLi.s wife and his little daughter, Haleema.
85
An indescribable di alogue goes on
between attar and the little girl w hile he
sways her in her swjng. H e tries to
convince the child that her fathe r is like
smo ke and she can cc him only when sh e
d oses her eyes. Sattar cannot find any
o ther way to inform the little girl and h er
family that his friend Ali has left forever ,
though he left honourably.
H e heard Haleema saying, The swing has slowed down, ~"ay me now.' H e came our of rhe rrce's
shadow wirh a wer face.
'No, chis happens ro rbose who swim,' he replied. Haleema said. 'No. D ad's eyes never rurned red.'
The visitor pur his hands on rhe rwo ends of rhe swing sear and pLtsbed it up. He couldn' t see her
in rhe sun and wh en the swing came down he embraced it, sropping its movemenc. 'How are you
feeling now, Ha leema?' he asked her.
'Why did yo u stop it? Ir was an excellenr push. No one ever swayed me like thar before,' she said.
She dhappeared again in rhe sun. her head lying on her stretched arm , ht:r EKe scra ighr and her eyes
dosed. She said, 'l can see my dad. Here he is, S\vaying me in his lap. Bllr he\ nor talking, like a
mute:. He: shaved his hair ju~r like you, and as ifl were a srranger co him. he didn 'r recognize me nor
did he calk w me.' T hen she opened her eyes and said. '\Vhere did he go? Ht: wa~ righr here wirh
me. swaring me.'
' H e \'anished. Every time you open your eyes, he vanishes.' the 'i!oitor replied.
'Let w. look for him, Halecma. Has he climbed the palm rree? Well, I guess not. or else we would
have seen him. Ha!o he dived inro rhe water? No. had he srayed long underwater, he would have
drowned. Oh! Well do you know where he \venr? He's in rhar bag ... do you see it, H aleem a?'
That one, on the 0 1her bank of rhe river, rhe bag hanging from rh e bi cycle.' he replied.
86
That small bag? H ow could his body fh imo ir?' the girl wondered.
'Well. he"s like smoke. AJways remember. H aleema. he's like smoke.'
'I didn'r sec him well. I was sirring in his lap,' Haleema said.
'Do you want me ro sir wirh you on rhe S\\>ing?' the ,isiror interrupted. He stopped rhe ropes and
lifted her omo his lap while he sar down on rhe swing. H e was swaying the swing wirh his feet when
her grandma came up with a loaf of bread in her hands.
'Arcn'r you feeling hungry yet? Ear rhis while we wait for your grandpa lor lunch rogerher. I am
going up to feed the pigeons.'
She divided the hor loaf of bread between them. They asked h er to sway t hem before she headed to
the rooftop. 'A m 1 able.: w sway you?' the grandma said before leaving.
The swing ropes moved slowly, rhen the swing's movement became Gtster and taster umil it was no longer
in the tree's shade. Ir flew over rhe srream of water while rhe grandma disappeared behind che ~hed.
'Lean on my chest. H alccma. and close your eyes,' rhe visitor said.
'You have che same nam e as Lhe mayor's son. \YJe pl ay behind rhc dead parl our and he wanrs us to
go in .'
'I can see him coming ouL of Lhe bag and heading roward us. \XIirhom a bead or hands and legs or
even clothes. just like smoke,' he added.
'LeL him come close. Prerend char you are sleeping. Do not frighten him because he only likes
rhose who arc sk<'ping like rhe dead,' rhe \"isiror said.
'He came our of rhe bag like smoke and didn'r speak at all,' H aleema said.
'I don't know. H e's go ne. He bas dived into the river.'

Section B: The Canary
'The Canary',
by Katherine Mansfield
... You see that big nail to d1e right of the front door? I can
scarcely look at it even now and yet 1 could not bear to take
it our. I shoul d like to think it was there always even (~fter
my rime*. J sometimes hear rhe next people saying, 'There
must have been a cage hanging from there.' And it comforts
me. 'I feel he is not quite forgotten .
For instance, \Vhcn l 'd fi nished the house in the aftem oon. and changed my blouse a nd brought my
sewing on to the verandah here, he used to hop* , hop, hop from one perch* to another, tap against the
bars as i r to attract my attention, .5iQ a little water, just as a professional singer rni ght, and then break
into a song so exquisite* that 1 had to put my needle down to listen to him. Tcan' t describe it; I wish I
could. But it was always the same, every afternoon, and I felt that I understood every note of it .
... I loved him. How I loved him! Perhaps it docs nor matter so very much what it is one loves in this
world. But love something one must! Of course there was ahvays my little bouse and the garden, but
for some reason they were never enough. Flowers respond wonder fully, but they don 't SJ'mparhise* ...
lloved rhe evening star .. . But after he came into my life 1 forgot the evening star; 1 did nor need it any
more . But it was strange. When the Chinaman who came to tl1c door with birds to sell he ld him up in
his tiny cage, and instead or nutte ring, f1uttcring, like rhc poor little goldfinches*, he gave a faint, smal l
chirp, I found myself saying, j ust as J had said to the star over the gum tree, 'There yo u are. my
darl ing.' From that moment he was mine!
... It surptiscs me even now to remember how he and 1 shared each other 's lives. The moment! came
down in the moming and LOok the cloth off his cage he greeted me with a drowsv little note. 1 knew it
meant 'M issus! Missus!' Then I hung him on the nai l outside while I got my three young men their
breakfasts, m1d I never brought him in, to do his cage. unti l we had the house ro ourselves again. Then,
wben the \Vashing-up was done, it was quite a little enterta inment. I spread a newsp aper over a comer
of the table and when I put the cage on it he used to beat w ith his wings, despairing(v* . as .if he didn 't
know what \Vas coming. 'You' re a regular little actor, ' 1 used to scold him. 1 scraped* the tray, dusted it
wi rh fresh sand, fill ed hi s seed and water tins, tucked a piece of chid...veed* and half a chili between the
bars. And I am perfectly certain he understood and appreciated every item of this little performance.
You see by nature he was exquisitely neat ... And you'd only to sec him enjoy his bath to realise he had
a real small passion for cleanliness ...
.. . Company, you sec, that was what he was. Perfect company. 1fyou have lived alone you will realise
how precious that is. Of course there were my three young men who came in to supper every evening,
89
and sometimes they stayed in the dining-room afterward::; reading the paper. But l could not expect
them to be interested in the little things that made my day ... But 1 remember fee ling so especially
thankful that 1 was not quite alone that evening. 1 told him, after they had gone out. I said, ' Do you
know what tbey call !vfi ssus?' And he put his head on one side and looked at me with his little bright
eye until! could not help laughing. It seemed to am use him.
. . . I lave you kept birds? J f you haven't all this must sound, perhaps, exaggerated*. People have the
idea that birds are heanless, cold l ittle creaTures* . not like dogs or cats. My washerwoman used to say
every Monday when she wondered why I didn r keep a nice fox terrier: There's no comfort. Miss, in
a canary.' Untme! Dreadfullv untrue! I remember one night. I had had a very tmJid* dream ... even
after I had woken up I could no t get over it. So 1 put on my dressing-gown and went dovm to the
kitchen fclr a glass of water. It was a vvinter night and raining hard. Tsuppose 1 was still half asleep. bur
through the kitchen windovv... it seemed to me th e dark \Vas staring in, spying*. And SLidden ly 1 felt it
was unbearable that 1 had no one to whom J could say 'I've had such a dreadful dream,' or-or 'Tiidc
me from the dark. ' I even covered my face for a minute. And then there came a little ' Sweet! Sweet!'
... 'Sweet! S\veet!' said the darling little fc!IO\v again, softly. as much as to say. ' I'm here. Missus! rm
here!' That was so beautifu lly comforting rhat 1 nearly cried .
. . . And now he's gone. I shall never have another bird, another pet of any kind. l low could I? \.Vhen I found
him, lying on his back. wiLh his eye dim* and his claws H-rwlg*. when l realised that never again should J

Checklist for written work
Planning your work
Read the question carefully. Underline the important parts. Do you understand it?
If 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 you want to use and delete any that are not relevant.
You don't have to use everything.
Put your id eas into a logical order and group ideas that go together in sections .
If you can, find a model text and look at t he style and layout. Are th ere 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 style and layout. For example,
if you are writing a letter to a friend, the style will be different to a formal letter and the
layout will be different to a story.
Editing yo ur wo rk
Read through your w ork. Check you have answered the question correctly, every sentence
is clear, the grammar is correct, you have used suitable vocabulary and lin ki ng words, the
spelling is correct. (Check with a dictionary.)
Show your work to your family or a friend and see if they can help 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 allow you to focus on technical details.
