Egypt is one of the oldest civillizations (文明) in the world. It has great culture and history. Let's take a look at some wonderful places in the country.

Arabian Desert

Do you think it might be fun to ride a camel (骆驼) in the desert? If so, you should go to the Arabian Desert. It is also known as the Eastern Desert. It takes up nearly one-quarter (四分之一) of Egypt's land. Riding a camel is fun. Camels kneel down to let you sit on them.

If you want to see ancient (古老的) palaces and buildings, Luxor is a great place to go. People there call it the“open-air museum of ancient Egypt”. Many people visit Luxor every year. Some famous places there include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

Dear Amy,

Today I want to tell you something about my neighborhood.

I live on a big street. To the left of my house is a big park. The police station is across from my house. There is a hotel to the left of the park. Between the hotel and a Japanese restaurant there is a small bank. A big supermarket is across from the Japanese restaurant.

On weekends, my family often plays sports in the park. My mother often shops in the supermarket.

What about your neighborhood?

Julia

Dear Julia,

I live on a small street. My house is in the middle of the street. In front of my house there is a small supermarket. To the left of the supermarket is a library and to the right of the supermarket is a post office. Behind my house there is a small park with a few trees and a small garden (花园). At the end of my street there is a hill (小山) with lots of trees.

On weekends, my family often climbs the hill. It takes us about 15 minutes to walk there from our house.

Amy
