1 : I enjoy my work . The company trains us well and gives us a smart uniform to wear.

It's very comfortable working in a modern building with air conditioning. People come here from all over the world - most of them don't speak Arabic, so I use my English a lot. It's important that I'm friendly and efficient - that way they'll probably come back again. .. 2 : It's a hard job - working outside in the heat with the noise of heavy machines around you all the time . But I'm proud to be helping to build a modern country. Our roads, bridges and dams will help to make Egypt richer, and that will be good for our children and our grandchildren. ..

3 : My work is very exciting . Since I started the job two years ago , I've met important

people from all over the world . A trade delegation from Europe arrived in Egypt two weeks ago , so last week I was reporting on that story almost every day . I even met the leaders of France and Germany. My report was headline news in our paper at the weekend. Yesterday, I was interviewing business leaders in Cairo . ..

4: I've wanted to do this kind of work since I saw my first computer at school. In my

opinion, computers are magic and I've worked and played with them ever since that day at school. Now I work for a well-known Egyptian company that writes computer programs for important national and international companies. At the moment, I'm doing research on a computer programme for an Australian company. ..

Gulliver's voyage to Lilliput

Reading Passages 2:

After a storm at the sea, Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's doctor, is shipwrecked on the island of
Lilliput. The people of Lilliput are only 15 centimetres tall so they think Gulliver is a giant sent by their enemies from the neighbouring island of Belfusco. They are frightened , so they capture him and tie him to the ground to stop him from escaping .
..

Gulliver tells the people his story and promises to help them in their fight against Belfusco. He
soon becomes a favourite of the King . Gulliver then, helps them to beat their enemies by stealing all their ships, but he does not agree with the idea of punishing the people of the island. This makes the King angry and he decides that Gulliver must die. Luckily , a friend helps Gulliver to escape to Belfusco and he sails home .

In the story of Gulliver in Lilliput, Jonathan Swift is making fun of European politics. The war between the islands represents the war between old enemies within Europe.

..

Swift also makes fun of the ridiculous things politicians argue about, It shows this by giving the people of Lilliput small minds as well as small bodies. In the story, they cannot agree about whether you should break a boiled egg at the big end or the small end. On his second voyage, Gulliver sails to Brobdingnag, where the people are 18 metres tall. He has more exciting adventures. Only this time, Gulliver feels very small.
..

Female radio presenter: You may already know the story of Gulliver's Travels , but
how much do you know about its author, Jonathan Swift ? Do you know where and when he was born and what he did as well as being an important writer ? In this talk you will find the answers to these questions and more from today's guest, Professor James Smith.
..

Tape script

Professor Smith : Thank you . Well, let's start at the beginning , Jonathan Swift was
born in 1667 in Dublin , Ireland , when that country belonged to England . His father, who died before Jonathan Swift was born, was Irish and his mother was English. Although he spent his early years in England , he returned to Ireland to go to school and university . He found work in England as a secretary to a retired diplomat. While he was working as a secretary, Swift started to write . He later had other jobs, working as a politician and a churchman, and he finally got an important job at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin.

In 1726, Gulliver's Travels was published and became a great success . Different people have different explanations for this . To some, it was an imaginative children's story, to others, it was a clever commentary on the politics of the day. Some people today see it as the first science fiction novel. In my opinion, the book succeeds because it has these different meanings. Jonathan Swift wrote other books, but none were as successful as Gulliver's Travels. Jonathan Swift died in 1745. If you're interested in knowing more about the author of Gulliver's Travels, I have a list of web pages you can look at.
