Unit 12 (Why is Kareem excited)
Our trip to the Shaumari Nature Reserve by Rakan Madi
The Shaumari Nature Reserve opened in 1975. It’s near Azraq desert in the east of Jordan. My class visited the reserve last week.
Mr. Quadi works at the reserve. He was our guide for the day. He was very friendly. First, he showed us some pictures of the animals and he answered some questions. I asked him about the Arabian oryxes’ food. It’s interesting because they eat plants and fruit. They don’t eat meat.
Then we went to see the animals. We were careful because the animals don’t like noisy children! The oryxes were white and they were beautiful. I took some photos.
Next, we had a picnic and we played in the playground. It was good fun. Finally, we went home. It was a great day.

I like school because the lessons are interesting. We can learn many subjects (English, Arabic, science…..) . I can see my friends everyday at school. The teachers are nice and kind. My teachers help us when we asked them.
My favourite food is mansaf. I like it because it’s delicious. It tastes good to cook meat with yoghurt.
