READING QUIZ 1

Dear Julia,

I’m writing this postcard from Morocco. I’m having a nice holiday with John. The weather is fantastic. This is our second week here. After Fez and Rabat, here we are in Marrakesh.

John and I are happy to be in the RedCity as people call it here. All the buildings are in red and it’s always sunny and warm. We don’t stay much in the hotel.

This is our third day in Marrakesh.Today John and I are going to visit Jamaa L’fna Square for the second time. It’s a very fascinating place, full of activity and people. There are acrobats, singers, dancers, snake charmers, storytellers.

We are also going to have lunch in the Souk (the market in the local language). We are going to eat a Tagine and Couscous and cook some for you. I’ve got a recipe. I’m sure you’re going to like it.

We’re going to spend two more days in Marrakesh then go down south to Agadir; a seaside city famous for its warm weather and long beaches. We are going to come back to Liverpool next weekend. I’m going to phone when I get there.

Are you having a nice time with Peter? John and I miss you a lot!

Take care,

Ann
