Egypt in an Arab country with an area about 1 million Km2 . Most of the land is
desert , as , except on the Mediterranean coast , the amount of rain each year is very
small on 3% of Egypt – the land watered by the River Nile – can be used for farming . Over
90%of Egyptians live and work in this small part of the country .
In the past , Egypt grew its own food . But now , it has to import more than half the wheat

lives , the population is growing fast – 2.7% or one and half million people every year . As

Recently , Al-Akhbar , the Cairo newspaper , wrote a report on what life would be like if
the population continues to grow as fast as it is doing now. With 20 million people in
Cairo ( 5 million more than at the moment) , many people would have to live in tents in
the city's parks . Travelling from one side of the city to another would take 10 hours , so
more people would use bicycles . Even with classes of 100 pupils , school would have to
say open day and night to teach every body .

1- How are the farming lands watered ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2- Why would the people use bicycles in traveling ?
