Task 4
Tell me about a time you went on a long journey.
How did you feel about it?
How do people travel long distances in your country?
I went on a long journey last year.
-I went to Egypt for 5 months.
- I went Syria by bus. It took 24 hours.
- I went to Mecca by bus. It took 12 hours.
I was very tired after the long trip. But I couldn’t take a plane
because it was very expensive and there were no seats
available. I also am afraid of flying.
In Saudi Arabia people can take a car, a bus or they travel by
plane. Nowadays there are high speed trains.

hands over her eyes, so she cannot see the flowers he has. It
might be mothers’ day or her birthday. They look very happy.

Tell me what you see in the two pictures.
In the first picture I can see a modern city with many skyscrapers.
I think it’s New York because I can see the Chrysler building. It
looks cloudy.
In the second picture I can see traditional buildings. I think it’s
Venice because I heard there is a river in Venice with the
buildings next to the river. The weather is sunny in the second
picture.
Which of these two places would you prefer for a holiday?
I would prefer to travel to New York for a holiday. I prefer New
York because it’s a big modern city. I heard there are many
things to do there. There are also many things to see. The
weather in New York is also nice.

beautiful old city. I love old buildings and history. I think the city is

Task 4
Tell me about the music that comes from your country.
The music in my country is varied. In Saudi Arabia you can hear
different genres of music. There is hip hop, classical and
traditional music from the gulf. Most people like traditional gulf
music.
How do you feel when you hear or listen to music?
2-Some of the music makes me feel relaxed, some of the music
makes me want to sing and dance and some of the music
makes me want to cry.
Why do some cultures produce so much music and others so little?
I think the reason why some cultures produce so much music is
because some cultures love music more than others. Maybe it is
also because the music is very important in their movies, like in
Bollywood.
