USAGE Of course (=certainly) is a polite way of agreeing and showing willingness to help, in reply to requests such as Can you help me? and May I borrow this book? But of course is not polite in reply to a question asking for information: “Do many students study English at your school?” “Yes, they do / Yes, the majority.” The reply of course here would suggest ‘this fact is so obvious that you ought to know it’.

USAGE Use ’s rather than of to mean ‘belonging to a person or something alive’. Compare John ’s aim | the dog ’s leg | my father ’s character | the girl s’ dresses with the arm of the chair | the leg of the table | the character of the new building. ’s is used in expressions of time like a day ’s work | Let’s meet in a year ’s time. It is sometimes used with place-names, especially in newspapers, to save space: London ’s traffic | Britain ’s athletes.

In the story of the FLOOD in the Old Testament of the Bible,

NOAH let a DOVE (=a white bird) fly free from the ARK, and it returned with a small branch from an olive tree. This showed that the flood was beginning to disappear and that God was no longer angry with the people on Earth. The olive branch therefore represents the return of peace between God and the human race, and doves are sometimes shown holding an olive branch in their beaks as a sign of peace.

Oman has long-standing military and political ties with the United Kingdom and the United States, although it maintains an independent foreign policy. Oman is one of the most developed and stable countries in the Arab world. As with other Arab States of the Persian Gulf, oil is the mainstay of the economy, providing a large proportion of GDP, although compared to its neighbours Oman is a modest producer.

important sources of income. Adventure travelers who do venture in describe the country as a stunning contrast of deserts, mountains, beaches, and plenty of friendly people.

Orpheus was such a great musician that even birds and wild animals came and listened to him sing and play his LYRE. When Eurydice died, Orpheus was so upset that he followed her down into HADES (=the place under the ground where the spirits of dead people live) and sang to the king and queen there. They allowed Eurydice to leave so long as Orpheus did not look back to see if she was following him. He did look back, however, and so she had to return to Hades. Many stories, plays, and pieces of music have been based on this story.

CULTURAL NOTE Oxford and Cambridge are the two oldest and most respected universities in the UK. They are considered to give a very high standard of education, and are known to be difficult places for students to be accepted to study in. Oxbridge GRADUATE s often become powerful and successful members of British society, and many of the leading people in professions such as the law, politics, and the Civil Service have traditionally been ‘Oxbridge-educated’, though this is beginning to change. Oxbridge is sometimes criticized for the fact that about half its students come from PUBLIC SCHOOL s. Some people also think of Oxbridge colleges as too old-fashioned, traditional, and ELITIST (=considering themselves as very special and as more important than ordinary universities), and regard them as not really understanding how ordinary people think and live.
