Why do we live where we do?
Humans can live almost anywhere, but we often look for three things:
climate, water, and soil. People like a temperate climate, somewhere
that’s not too hot and not too cold.
 We need water to drink and to help our crops grow.
4

 We need fertile soil, so the crops have lots of nutrients.

Connect

 These three things often come together.

Places with water usually have fertile soil
and a temperate climate.
As humans, we are very good at adapting
to live in the environment around us.
Humans can learn to live in the most
difficult environments on earth. Inuit
people live in the Arctic regions, where
temperatures can be around -40°C (a freezer is only around -18°C).
Bedouin people live in the desert where the temperatures can be
around 50°C. ‫ملاذا نعي�ش حيث نعمل ؟‬

you come and see?"
The country mouse was delighted and very
excited.
The city mouse stopped eating and said, "There’s
no reason to wait. We can catch a train at eight."
The two friends ran to the train, just as it started to rain.
In the city, the smoke from the cars covered the stars and the noise
was incredibly loud. Country mouse was scared. He wasn’t prepared for
so many new sounds and smells.
Suddenly, a cat’s voice said, ‘Hmm, two mice and some bread.
"Run, run, run," said the city mouse. They ran around the corner. The
country mouse said, "Thank you my friend, the city is exciting, but it’s
time for me to go back to the country and back to where life is good for
me." ‫ف�أر املدينة وف�أر الريف‬

My first day of school by Younis

I remember my first day of school. I was six years old, and I
lived in Aswan. I was very nervous. I liked staying
at home with my family. I wanted to play with my
toys; I didn’t want to go to school.
I put on a blue T-shirt, gray pants, and black
shoes. I carried my backpack. Mom and I walked
to school.
At the school gate, I wanted to cry. I said goodbye
and I walked into the classroom. The teacher asked
me to sit next to a boy called Marwan.
The teacher was very kind. We studied math and
played games; it was fun! The next day, I wasn’t
nervous. I was excited. I wanted to see my new
friend, Marwan. I wanted to learn math and I
wanted to go to school.
