1 Bac. Reading Test

Name 1 Bac Sc.

(§1) Hi 1ère Bac. Students! My name is Robert, and I am a forty-year-old engineer. My wife
Linda and I live and work in New York. I know a Moroccan taxi driver there called Salim. He advised
me to visit Morocco, and I took his advice seriously. It was my first visit to Morocco.
(§2) My wife and I were very glad when we arrived at the airport safe. First we took a taxi to
the hotel, and then we decided to go to the famous “Jamae Lafna square”. After we arrived there, we
started taking photos, they were all awesome especially my wife’s photo with snake charmers.
(§3) I posted the photo on my facebook wall for the family to see and share. As a result, it got
plenty of “likes” and several funny comments. We also visited and filmed some great historic
monuments like “Koutoubia”, “Menara” and “Badia Palace”. My wife shared the videos wi th her
aunt, Beth on Instagram.
(§4) Well, in brief, Marrakech for me is the most exotic city in the world. I loved it very much.
My wife and I decided to always spend our vacations in your country as there are other exciting places
to visit.
