[re ‘fame in eapital letters: [1] The prospect of organizing the Football World Cup in 2030 in Morocco, alongside Spain, Portugal and three South American countries, offers an invaluable opportunity to the Moroccan kingdom to develop its infrastructure and stimulate its economy. After several unsuccessful attempts in the past, Morocco was chosen by the FIFA council to co-host this global event, with three additional matches taking place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. [2| On the sporting front, the project includes the construction of a new stadium in Benslimane, in the northern suburbs of Casablanca, which will become the largest in the country. The six existing stadiums in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir, Fez and Tangier will also be upgraded to meet the standards of the 2025 African Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup. [3] However, organizing an event of this scale requires much more than sports infrastructure, Morocco will also have to invest in strengthening the transport network, improving the hotel industry and digital communications, including the deployment of 5G. The majority Moroccans believe that these investments will have a positive impact on key sectors such as construction, banking and tourism. {4} Indeed, the organization of the World Cup will attract millions of tourists from all over the world, which will stimulate the Moroccan economy and generate considerable tourism revenue. According to a study by Sogécapital Gestion, tourism revenue could reach 11 billion euros in 2030. In addition, the country’s health infrastructure will also benefit from investments, thus filling existing gaps. [5] In addition to the economic benefits, the organization of the World Cup may also accelerate the development of the country and achieve the objectives set by the Moroccan government. Morocco is targeting an annual growth rate of at least 6% by 2035 in order to reduce the social and territorial inequalities that persist in the country. By attracting local and international private capital, Morocco probably hopes to reverse the current investment equation, where the State finances two-thirds of projects. [6] The organization of the Football World Cup in 2030 in Morocco represents a major opportunity for the country. By investing in sports infrastructure, transportation, hospitality and digital communications, Morocco will not only boost its economy but also achieve its vision of sustainable development. This event will mark an important step in Morocco’s journey towards stronger economic growth and curb existing disparities, providing a promising future for the country and its people. ‘Adapted from: https://eng fatshimetrie.org. 1) Decide whether thoxe statements are ‘rue or false, and justify.

ID Number: READ CAREFULLY THE TEXT AND ASNWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ‘As the train neared the resort town on the coast where I was going to spend my two-week vacation, I got up from my seat and wandered up the aisle to stretch my legs for a few - minutes. At the front end of the car, I stopped and exchanged a few words with one of the passengers that I had met earlier in the station. He had bought me a cup of coffee then. ‘When I tumed to go back to my seat, I happened to glance down the aisle and sitting just a few rows back was a man who had lived next door to me several years before. He was an incessant talker, I remembered, and it used to take hours to get away from him once he started conversation. I was not at all sorry when he moved away from our neighborhood. We had not seen each other since then, and I certainly did not want to spoil my vacation by renewing an acquaintance with him now. Luckily at that moment he was much too busy talking to the man next to him to catch sight of me. I slipped past him back to my seat, took down my two suitcases and carried them to the other end of the car so that I could be ready to get off the train as soon as it pulled into the station. The moment the train stopped, | got off and quickly made my way through the crowd to the line of taxis waiting in front of the station. As the taxi headed toward my motel at the north end of the beach, I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my narrow escape. There was little chance that I would run into my boring ex-neighbor again. When I reached the motel, I registered and went straight to my room. Since I was going to be there for two full weeks, I decided to unpack my things and get settled béfore going out to eat. As soon as I had emptied the suitcases, I left my room and headed for the restaurant across the street. I had barely stepped through the door of the restaurant when an all too familiar voice greeted me. I had not escaped from my tiresome next-door neighbor after all! He grasped me ‘warmly by the hand and insisted that we have dinner together. “This is a pleasant surprise,” he said. “I never expected to see you again after all these years.” I- Give a title to this story.
