Tea and coffee are often dried in this way.

| 6- Read the following passage and then answer the questions: What determines the kinds of home we live in? One of the things that strikes people who travel is that homes look different from one place to another. Yet, three factors - climate, available building materials and lifestyle - usually decide the kind of housing a place will have. People build homes that will protect them from bad weather and let them enjoy good weather. In very wet countries, homes are often built high off the ground to protect people from floods. Where the weather is very hot or very cold, people sometimes live underground. In places where the weather is mild, homes often have courtyards that are open to the sky. Some Middle East countries have homes with thick walls that keep people warm in winter and cool in summer. Homes are built from materials that are easily available, and sometimes these can be very unusual. In hot, dry places people often use mud to build homes because wood is hard to find. The Eskimos often live in temporary houses of snow when they go on hunting trips. Perhaps people's lifestyles are more obvious in their houses. Most of us think of a home as a permanent place, but the Bedouins who travel from one location to another, often live in tents that they can carry with them. Homes not only offer shelter, but are a key to the culture and way of life of people. For this reason, they have always fascinated historians. A- Answer the following questions:

| E- Writing 8- Write two paragraphs on: A country or a city you hope to visit.
You make use of the following: the country or city you would most like to visit why you would like to go there What you would like to do there Any difficulties you might have before or after you go there (e. g. money, language, customs, weather...... )
Everyone looks forward to visiting the country or the city he likes. As for myself, I dream of visiting Japan and its capital Tokyo. I've read and heard a lot about Japan, its people, its buildings, its public and private gardens, people's love for flowers, cleanliness, work, freedom, and devotion. Japan has risen very high in a short time. It is now one of the greatest powers in industry. Their electric appliances, their cars, their robots and many other products are everywhere in the world. There is no polite nation in the world like the Japanese. A Japanese greets his visitors by bending low, welcomes his guests greatly and respects the foreigners. The Japanese woman is unselfish, intelligent, patient, strong, a faithful wife and a loving mother. Really I'd like to visit Japan to witness its speedy progress which has astonished the whole world, to see how the Japanese managed not only to overcome the disaster caused by the dropping of two atomic bombs, but also how to become without equal in many fields. Actually there is nothing to worry about. I've started to learn Japanese language besides English which I know well. I've saved some money for that purpose and I think my dream will soon come true.
