Unit 3 (At the book fair) Lesson 6
Activity book page 14 ex 5 (Read and complete)
Dear Raed,
We’ve just been to Aqaba Traditional Arts Festival. It was great! There were lots of stalls and different crafts. All the crafts at the festival were from Jordan. On the mosaic stand there were lots of different coloured mosaics. My mum bought a small mosaic for our house. It’s great. My sister Mariam liked the jewellery. She liked the traditional dresses with long sleeves. There were scarves, too. They were very beautiful.
Lots of people were at the festival with their families. There’s also a water festival on Aqaba. I’d like to go to Aqaba Water Festival one day. I’d like to go to Aqaba Traditional Arts Festival again. In my opinion, it’s the best festival in Jordan
I hope you’re well.
See you soon
Ibrahim
