THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water Water is essential to life Neither plants nor animals canlive without it

Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three per cent of this water is fresh water, which is important to us Weneed fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and animals need it to survive

Water has become one of the most important sources of energy In the olden days, we used steam to move engines of shipsand trains Then we discovered hydro-electricity This meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity Fast-running water turned the turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity There was less pollution in theprocess Later, we built dams alorg rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we also made use of tidal waves

Sad to say, man has polluted the water which he needs For years, we have been polluting our water We use water to flush

our waste and we use rivers as sewers to carry our wastes away We dump rubbish into the lakes and oceans, thinking that itwill be safe Not only that, many industries have dumped unwanted chemicals and toxic substances into the sea This isbecause it is cheaper than recycling

Oil slicks are another major problem The oil does not degenerate but floats on the surface and prevents oxygen fromentering the sea Thousands of aquatic animals and birds have died because of this

We must protect the water from further pollution, or we will be the ones to suffer for our ignorance

THE IDEAL JOB

A government research agency recently carried out a survey in which 15,000 people in the UK were asked the question:'What would be your ideal job?' Incredibly, around 60% of those who (11) in the questionnaire gave the same answer Itmay (12) as a surprise to anyone who actually works in the business, but these people all thought they would like to bewriters

Although no data is available to (13) their reasons for choosing this particular occupation, it seems that what (14) tothese people is the lifestyle that they imagine a writer leading Writing work is often done from home, with no (15) timetable and so can be combined with family commitments and other activities

In reality, of course, the lifestyle isn't so very glamorous Most writers work on a freelance (16) and so have no regularsalary to rely on, challenging deadlines are the norm, and only the most successful of them can expect to make a living fromit

LOHRI, THE BONFIRE FESTIVAL

On January 13th, deep in the cold of midwinter, the people of northern India and especially the Punjab region, celebrate the

colourful winter fertility festival, Lohri The origins and reasons for this bonfire festival have been lost in the mists of time, but they are associated with a number of fables and folk legends One of these is a Punjabi version of Robin Hood, about a great warrior called Dulla Bhatti Dulla Bhatti had rebelled against the king and he used to rob the rich and rescue poor girls

who had been kidnapped and were about to be sold in foreign slave markets Dulla is a great heroin Punjabi tradition

Another belief about the Lohri tradition is that it began as a celebration of the eve of the winter solstice, or the shortest day

of the year This is despite the fact that the festival takes place three weeks after the official and scientifically accepted date ofthe winter solstice on 21st December But whatever the case may be everyone agrees that Lohri celebrates the end of the long

cold dark winter months and the beginning of the new farming year and that it's a festival that brings everyone together,irrespective of their religion

On the day of Lohri, children go from door to door singing traditional songs Many praise the great hero Dulla Bhatti and

others are humorous nonsense songs only sung for Lohri In return for the entertainment, the children receive gifts known as

Lohri These are collections of tasty treats made up of many ingredients such as sesame seeds, peanuts, sweets and other

goodies Later on, during the evenirg's festivities, the children will give out some of the treats they hive received and share

their bounty with others One of the reasons for this custom is that the Lohri festival is closely associated with the

approaching harvest of winter crops (rabi ơops) such as wheat, barley, peas and mustard Apart from distributing treats tochildren, people take a variety of foods to temples and other places of worship in order to ensure a good crop

Later in the day, people dress up in their finest and most colourful clothes The women in rich silk saris and the men in

delicately embroidered jackets As dusk begins to fall, large bonfires are lit in the towns and vllages all over the territories ofnorthern India Then people toss sweets and sesame seeds into the fire and sing songs as the men dance the lively Bhangradances around the fire Some people also throw milk and water around the fire or perform prayers in honour of the sun godand to ask for his protection in the coming farming year

After the singing and dancing, when the ceremonies are over and the fire has died out, people take the embers from thebonfire to light a new fire in their homes They believe the embers will help keep them and their animals healthy and they willalso help to ensure a good harvest in the coming months Then friends and relatives meet to exchange gifts and distribute thegoodies collected earlier in the day A traditional dish of Indian curry with mustard leaves and spinach is prepared and isserved with a traditional type of bread made from a variety of different seeds The fun and feasting usually continues late into

the night The following day is believed to be a favourable day to take a holy bath in the river and practise charity, Lohri is

more than just a festival, it is a celebration of the gift of life
