A travel letter
1 Read the letter. Complete the table.
Dear James,
Thank you for your letter. It was good to hear your news about going t
o 
Morocco next month. I went there last year, and I travelled across the countr
y 
for three weeks. Here are some of the best things to see and do:
I liked visiting the old cities of Fez and Marrakech. There are lots of int
eresting 
places to see there. In Fez you must go to the old Bou Inania Madrasa, and in 
Marrakech you need to visit the Koutoubia Mosque and, of course, the famous 
market. You can buy things to eat there too in the evening.
One of the best things to eat in Morocco is couscous with meat or vegetables. 
And don’t forget to drink the green tea with sugar. It’s very good on a hot 
afternoon.
The country is famous for its beautiful cities on the coast, too. The cit
y of 
Essaouira in the west has a long beach for swimming and an interesting f
ort. 
It’s a good place to stay for two or three days.
Don’t forget to buy some gifts for your family before you go home. You c
an look 
for these in the markets. There are a lot of beautiful carpets and other things 
for the house.
Have a wonderful time, James! Write and tell me all about it when you get home.
All the best
Hassan
