Dear Raed,
We’ve just been to Aqaba Traditional
Arts Festival. It was great! There
were lots of stalls and different
5 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
10 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
in Aqaba. I’d like to go to Aqaba Water Festival one day. I’d like to go to Aqaba

1st paragraph Introduction

A
Laila and her brother Ibrahim lived with
their mother and father in a small town. One
morning, Laila’s mother said, “Children! We’re
going on an adventure.”

B
Laila and Ibrahim were very excited. They got
into the car. “Where are we going?” said Laila. “It’s a surprise,” said Mum.
Dad put their bags in the car.
C
Dad drove out of the town. Ibrahim and Laila sat in the car and played counting
games. They travelled for 185 kilometres. It was a long trip. When the car
stopped, Dad said “We’re here. We’re in Aqaba! And this is our hotel!”
D
The children were really happy. They looked at the modern hotel. It was a
tall building by the sea. The sea was blue and there were small boats on the
water. It was very hot. “This will be a great holiday,” said Ibrahim and Laila.
“Thanks Mum and Dad.”

A trip to Mukawir by Nadia

Weaving is one of
Jordan’s oldest traditional crafts.
In the past, Jordanian
women made rugs for their
5 families. Mukawir is an
important place for weaving.
Today, the women in Mukawir weave rugs to sell.

My mother loves traditional Jordanian crafts. It is her birthday next

week, and my father wanted to buy her a special present. Mum has got a
10 beautiful mosaic, but she hasn’t got a traditional rug. On Saturday, Dad
drove us to Mukawir.

When we arrived in Mukawir, a woman was showing a rug to a visitor.

So, we watched a video about weaving, while we were waiting. Then we
looked at lots of different rugs. The rugs are made of wool and they are
15 very beautiful. Dad chose this rug for Mum. It has lots of different colours.
Dad is going to give this rug to Mum on her birthday. I’m really excited.
I think she will love it!

Ajloun Nature Reserve

Ajloun Nature Reserve is a beautiful and interesting place. It is in the

Ajloun mountains north of Amman. There are hills and valleys, and
wonderful old forests. Lots of wild flowers grow in the forests, including
the black iris, Jordan’s national flower. Ajloun’s trees are important
5 because birds live in them, and animals eat the leaves. The reserve is a
beautiful place because people protect the forests and the trees.

Many different birds and animals live in the Ajloun forests. Roe deer
were endangered but now they live in the Ajloun forests because they are
safe here. People can’t hunt them here. Visitors can see squirrels, foxes and
10 hyenas, too. Today, many animals live safely in the forest.

Visitors come to Ajloun to see the animals and the beautiful

countryside. They can go hiking. There aren’t any big hotels in Ajloun and
they won’t build big hotels in the future. Visitors stay in small houses. The
houses are made of wood. People are careful when they come to
15 Ajloun. They don’t drop rubbish or pick flowers, so Ajloun will always be a
beautiful place. Ajloun Nature Reserve is a very important place because it
protects endangered animals, important trees and wild flowers. People will
always want to visit Ajloun!
