we moved in, the ghost let his presence be known. We could hear strange
noises in the hallway and footsteps going up and down the stairs. We thought

with spirits. After he had talked with the ghost, our friend told us that there
was nothing to fear. The ghost had lived in the house all his life and simply
wanted to continue to care for that house. One night, my wife and I went out

One of the drawbacks ‫ عيوب‬of modern life is the fact that people don‟t
have much time to just relax and have fun. Scientists have said that it is
important to have a pastime ‫ تسليت‬in order to relieve the stress of everyday life,
but most of us have little time to deluge ‫ ينغمس‬in our interests.
Another disadvantage of leading a busy lifestyle is that you may not have
enough time to exercise and prepare nutritious meals. Many people opt for
‫ يفضل‬eating fast food which is more suitable and less time consuming.
However, too much of this kind of food can often lead to you becoming
overweight. If you are concerned that you might be leading an unhealthy
lifestyle, then now is the time to do something about it. You may not even
have to make radical changes; just setting aside some time to do something
positive like exercising or cooking a meal will make a difference and lead you
to a happier, healthier life.

Dear Peter,
I haven't heard from you for quite some time. I know that you've
probably been very busy with moving house, but I'm hoping we can get
together soon to catch up on each other's news.
Speaking about news you'll never guess what happened to me recently. You
know I've always wanted to go hiking. Well, I finally managed to go but it
didn't turn out too well. I went with some friends of mine who are very
experienced hikers. I'm grateful I did because I don't know what I have done
without them.
We set off early in the morning and started walking. At first , I thought to
myself that hiking is quite easy but then I started feeling really tired and I
could hardly keep up with the rest of the group. We were crossing a field.
When I felt a sharp pain in my left leg. I thought it was a thorny bush or
something and I kept going because the rest of the group was far ahead.
After a while I broke out into cold sweat and started feeling dizzy. Then I
passed out.
When I finally came around, my friends told me that a snake had bitten. One
of my friends who knew about snake bites had tied my leg and sucked out the

The Pyramids of Giza stand in the desert outside Cairo. The largest
pyramid, the Greatest Pyramid, was built by King Khofu more than 4500
years ago. The pharaoh, King Khofu, said that he wanted a Pyramid on the
west bank of the River Nile. This was a special place because the sun sets in
the west. He told the finest architects to draw the plans. He told the
engineers to build the Pyramid.
Thousands of workmen helped to build it. The Pyramid was made of
stones. Some stones came from a place near Giza. Other stones were
brought by boats down the River Nile from Aswan. After twenty years, the
Pyramid was finished. The pharaoh asked his people to bury him in the
Pyramid when he died.
