SUBJECT: Egyptian food
Dear Jane, ٓ١‫ج‬ ٟ‫ػض٠ضذ‬
Egypt is famous for many things, including its delicious food! Do you like
soup? My favourite soup is molokhia. It‟s a kind of vegetable soup and it‟s
very healthy. Koshari is a very popular dish. There isn‟t any meat in it, but
there are lentils. The other main ingredients are rice and pasta. There aren‟t
any tomatoes in this dish, but it is delicious with some tomato sauce on the
top. I love meat. My favourite food is lamb. I like to eat it with some salad
and some bread.
There is a lot of good fish in Egypt. When we visit my family in Alexandria,
my aunt always cooks fresh fish. There are lots of sweets, too. Many have
got nuts and dates in them. They are delicious!

Reading. ( Water for all )
We all need water to drink, to grow food, to wash and to use in our homes.
But there is a problem. In many places, there isn‟t any rain for many
months, but people use a lot of water. Do you use a little water or a lot of
water every day? How much water do you waste? Do you turn off the tap
when you are brushing your teeth? You can save a lot of water that way.
Remember that a long shower uses a lot of water, but a short shower uses
only a little water.
How many other ways are there to save water? Most people are careful to
turn off taps, but old taps often drip. You probably think that this wastes
very little water.
It is a problem because one tap that drips wastes about 155 litres of water
a year! Don‟t forget, it is important to repair any taps that drip. Do you know
how much water costs? It can be expensive. Let‟s all save water. It is good
for your family, our country and the earth.

Hanan : Hello, Salma.
Salma : Hi, Hanan!
Hanan : What are you doing ?
Salma : I'm watching the news on TV. It is talking about a charity that helps
people who haven't got fresh water. In some countries, there are
droughts. People haven't got time to go to school or work because
they walk for hours to find water every day. And in other countries,
there are floods. There is a lot of water, but it is dirty, so there isn't
any fresh water to drink.
Hanan : How can we help this charity?
Salma : Well, we can tell people about the charity.
Hanan : Yes, let's do that. I know! Why don't we make posters about the
charity? We can put them in the school. Then people can read
about the charity and perhaps they can help.
Salma : OK. Shall we meet after school today to make some posters?
Hanan : That's not possible. We've got homework to do today.
How about meeting next weekend? Then we'll have time to find
out more about the charity.
Salma : You're right. Which day do you prefer, Friday or Saturday?
Hanan : I'd prefer to meet on Saturday. I'm free then.
Salma : OK.

Reading
From June to October, it rains in the mountains to the south of Egypt. This
rain runs into the Nile. Before there was a dam across the Nile, the river
became very full. Every year there were floods in Egypt.
Why were the floods so important for Egypt?
The floods were good for the land because they carried soil and fresh
water. This helped plants to grow.
Why were the floods dangerous?
The water in some of the floods was sometimes very high. For example,
11.7m of water flooded the land at Aswan. This was very dangerous for
people who lived near the Nile.
The Aswan Dam.
Engineers decided to build a dam 10 slop the floods. The Aswan Dam
opened in 1971. It is 3,830 m (3.83 km) in length and 111 m high.
Why is the dam a good idea?
The dam stops the dangerous floods of the past. Now, most of the water
slays behind the walls of the dam. We can use this water when we need it.
Complete the sentences
drought - fresh - flood - safe
1. I like the fish in that restaurant. It is always very fresh.
2. It isn’t …………… to eat meat that is very old.
3. There was a ………….. in the summer after many months without rain.

PROUD TO BE EGYPTIAN
I am twelve and live in Cairo in a big apartment with my parents, my sister
Manal and my brother Magdy.
What do you like about where you live?
I live in Cairo and I love city life! Some people think that cities are too
noisy. I agree! Cairo is noisier than the countryside and the roads are too
busy. There are too many cars and the air is too polluted. But I prefer city life
because it‟s always exciting! There‟s a lot to do and see here. My
grandparents live on a farm. When I visit them, I think the countryside is too
quiet. Their village isn‟t exciting enough, but they say, “We‟re too old for the
big city now!”
Salma
I live in a village. I agree with Tarek: the countryside is quieter and that‟s
why I like it! I visited Cairo last year, but I was happy to return home. The
city is too big. In Cairo, there are more than 18 million people. In the village,
life is slower. People are friendlier and everything is more beautiful. There
aren‟t enough green areas in the city, but there are a lot of fields and trees
around my village. The air is cleaner. My village is quiet and there aren‟t
enough shops, but it‟s more relaxing than the city.

that it was a marlin, which was one of the biggest
fish in the sea. He was an old man and he knew
that it would be difficult to catch this fish and take
it home. But he was strong, he was a good
fisherman and he needed this fish.
The marlin was very strong. The fish was on the fishing line, but the old man
could not pull the fish onto the boat. The fish swam fast and pulled the boat
far out to sea.

The fish swam for a long time and pulled the boat a long way. Santiago
held the fishing line with one hand and he hoped the fish would become
tired. The next day, the old man was very hungry and his hand hurt. A small
bird rested on his boat and he talked to it. He was sad that Manolin wasn‟t
with him.

Suddenly, the fish jumped high out of the water and the old man saw it. It
was bigger than his small boat! The old man knew that this was a wonderful
fish. It was strong like him and it wasn‟t afraid. The old man was now very
tired, but he felt strong and he had enough food and water.
“How do you feel, fish?” he asked. “I feel good. I have food for a night and
a day.” Soon it was the second night and again Santiago didn‟t sleep. He
thought about when he was a young man. He was stronger and faster then.
“Pull the boat, fish,” he said. “One of us must stop. It will not be me!”

It was night and Santiago was sleeping. Suddenly, he woke up. The fish was
swimming fast and jumping out of the water. The old man pulled the fishing
line, but the fish pulled harder. The fishing line cut the old man‟s hand and it
hurt badly. He ate some food and rested and then he felt a little stronger.
The old man couldn‟t rest for long. He knew that the big fish was becoming
tired because now it was swimming around the boat. The old man held the
fishing line and he waited. Suddenly, he saw the fish‟s tail come out of the
water. The old man waited for the fish to come nearer to the boat and he
slowly took his harpoon. When the fish was near the boat, he used the
harpoon to kill the enormous fish.
The fish was too big to put in the boat. So the old man started to sail home
and pulled the fish behind the boat. He was happy because he knew he
could sell the fish for a lot of money. But he felt sad for the fish, too.

While he was sailing home, an enormous shark started swimming towards
the boat. The shark was as big as the marlin and wanted to eat it. The old
man took his harpoon and he killed the shark, but later more sharks came.
The sharks attacked the boat and quickly started eating the marlin. The old
man wasn‟t afraid and he killed seven more sharks with his harpoon.

After he killed the sharks, he talked to the fish. “You are now half a fish,” he
said. “Fish that you were, I‟m sorry that I went too far out. I ruined us both.
But we have killed many sharks, you and I, and ruined many others.” In the
night, more sharks attacked the boat and ate all of the fish. The fish was
now only a skeleton. The old man was tired and his body hurt. He looked at
the skeleton and he felt very sad.

Santiago sailed home with the skeleton behind the
boat. That night, more sharks came and swam
around the boat, but they didn‟t stay because the
marlin was only a skeleton. The small boat sailed
fast, and soon the old man saw the lights of the
houses far away. He was exhausted.
“A bed is my friend. I just want a bed,” he said. When he got home, it was
night. People did not see him. Manolin and all the fishermen were sleeping.
He left the skeleton of the fish by the boat and he started to walk to his
house. He walked very slowly because he was so tired. It took him a long
time. When he got home, he drank some water and went to bed.
The next day, Manolin saw Santiago‟s boat. He visited the old man‟s house.
When he saw the old man and his cut hand, he was very sad. Manolin went
to the café to get some coffee for him. The old man was happy to see the
boy and they talked. Manolin wanted to go fishing with the old man again.
“Lie down, old man, and I will bring you a clean shirt and something to
eat,” said Manolin. He wanted to look after the old man. The old man
smiled and soon he was sleeping.

"Canals"
Canals of the Nile are very important. We use the canals to get clean
water for drinking and for farms. But when canals become polluted and
ugly, water becomes dirty and unhealthy. People get sick when they drink
it. We shouldn‟t throw rubbish in canals. We should clean them for our health.
"The high dam"
The high dam is one of Egypt‟s great projects. It stores a lot of water
behind its walls. The high dam stops the dangerous floods of the past. We
also use it to make electricity. it also helps us to grow more crops.
"Water"
Water is important for our life. We waste water when we don't use it
carefully. We can save water by taking a short shower. fie should repair old
taps. We can save a lot of money when we save water.
“floods"
The floods were good for the land because they carried soil and fresh
water. This helped plants to grow. Dams stop the dangerous floods. Most of
the water stays behind the walls of the dam to use it when we need. The
Aswan dam opened in 1971 to stop dangerous floods of the past.
"Shopping Centres"
Last weekend we went shopping. Fie drove to a shopping centre on the
other side of Cairo. I like shopping centres because 1 can do all my
shopping in one place. I wore good walking shoes because the shopping
centre is very big. It's my favourite place to go shopping.
"Shopping in a supermarket"
You can buy many things in a supermarket. You can buy different kinds
of vegetables and fruit. Yesterday 1 went to the supermarket with a big
shopping bag. 1 bought two kilos of tomatoes, a kilo of carrots and a
watermelon. I also bought some spices.
