Haue you euer thought about

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.

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.

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.

resource forthe region. All three countries have dams jn on the river. The Euphrates dam 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.

Literature Focus 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.

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.

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

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 ...

docs not matter so very much what

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,

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.
