Task 1
Short answer
The text in the box below presents a programme offering international work experience
for young people.
Svalbard Lifetime Experiences – Wilderness Management Programme
You want the experience of a lifetime? Live and work in the heart of a pristine polar
paradise. Make a difference! Do your bit to help nature help herself. Act on your ideals
and come to the Svalbard archipelago. We need volunteers for three-week programmes.
We need you.
This programme is for you who are interested in experiencing wilderness camping and
rugged terrain whilst working to preserve and protect this area – nature’s precious
jewel.
You will be helping with a variety of practical management tasks in the area, working
closely with our nature reserve staff. You’ll be out in the most astonishing, breathtaking
and overwhelming natural environment you could ever imagine.
This is your chance to do something unique. As a volunteer, you will be working in small
teams with qualified and experienced team leaders. Your work will include trail marking
and trail repair work and the removal of off-road driving tracks and moss
transplantation.
We want people to visit these amazing areas so we need you to help us mark the paths.
Why? To protect this vulnerable environment and to improve safety for visitors. The
reward from doing this vital work is that you will go home knowing you have left your
mark.
Inexperienced? No need to worry. Training will be provided by fully qualified leaders. The
working day normally runs from 09:00 – 17:00 with breaks for lunch and coffee. But
here, the weather often determines your working day.
Do you like to walk? Many of our worksites are in the wilderness with up to two hours of
walking each day. Talk about going that extra mile! You’ll camp under the stars, out in
the invigorating wild with the panoramic horizon for your blanket.
We accept volunteers from around the world. This will be your chance to form lasting
friendships with people from other parts of the world. For this reason, the working
language is English.
Are you up to it?

Comments on international English

Why fight it? English is everywhere and we need a global language. It’s a lost
cause to fight against the tide1. (Jacques, a Frenchman)
It’s one thing to have a global language but quite another when all these English
words creep into and pollute your own language. In fact, I recently read an
article on the BBC website stating that half of the world’s 7000 languages2 are
in danger of disappearing and this doesn’t help, does it? (Günther, German
linguist)
The trouble with international English is that more and more people are
speaking it badly, so that the language itself is suffering. I worry that we’re going
to end up with a sort of simplified English, where grammar doesn’t matter and
where the vocabulary is tiny. (David, English teacher)
It’s not the spread of international English that bothers me; it’s all the culture
that comes with it. (Pierre, French journalist)
The spread of English is the new imperialism. In addition to economic and
military world domination, they want to force their language on us too. I call that
word domination! (Ahmed, Iranian politician)

Incident in Cairo
SPR3008 V12 Appendix 2
Page 1 of 1
By Lara Logan — February 8, 2012
Lara Logan is seen here moments before a mob sexually assaulted and beat her in Cairo’s Tahrir Square in February 2011.
When I was overwhelmed by a mob of men in Tahrir Square in Egypt last February, I was filled with the certainty that I
would die there. In my mind, I could see an image of my body lying discarded in the dirt. It struck me that it would be a
truly meaningless death.
But instead of fighting for my life, I was at first fighting for my dignity. I believed in the sanctity of women in this
Islamic society. I had been told so often by Muslim men and women that women were sacred. Protected. More valued
even than in the West. And I had been told that though they may appear to be denied many of the rights I enjoy in
Western society, they actually are valued in a different, more meaningful way.
In my own experience, I had found myself frequently surrounded by Muslim men who were caring, protective,
respectful, and supportive. Some risked their lives for me. So I believed that someone, something, would stop the
attackers. Because everyone who was watching, everyone who was fighting for a piece of my body knew that what they
were doing was wrong.
Of course, it didn’t end that way. And it was chance — chance that the seething mob stumbled into a corner where I
was trapped between a group of women and some tents, and chance that my CBS security man Ray Jackson was able
to break free and compel nearby Egyptian soldiers to act — that I was carried from that square alive instead of dead.
And what I did not know then was how deeply entrenched sexualized violence is in Egyptian society. Or that agents
from the Mubarak regime, intent on discrediting the revolution, had targeted me deliberately and incited the mob. Nor
did I know that other female journalists were attacked that night. And I could not have known that there would be more
attacks in the months that followed, until foreign female journalists were advised not to travel to Egypt.
I never understood before my attack that sexual violence is a form of oppression. A very effective means for men to
not only dominate women, but also to deny them their rightful place in society. It is not as noticeable in Western
societies like the U.S., because women there are more powerful than in an Islamic country like Egypt. But it is still true.

Reader comments
-These damn Western media types bust in here like a herd of bulls imposing their ideals of so-called
free speech. They use this as an excuse to trample on everything we hold sacred!
-The international media are doing a necessary job. The only way things can change is when outside
media come into the country and get the message out to the world about what is really happening
here.
-What does the rest of the world really care?
-What do you expect when a Western female journalist acts like she’s in her own country?
-What’s so special about Logan’s story? We all know that women can feel harassed anywhere, in any
society.
