Hi Ali,
UNIT 5: CELEBRATIONS
Check out the photos which I took
while I was in Agadir last summer.
This is the hotel where I stayed. My
room had a balcony which looked
on the sea. It was fabulous. The boy
who is wearing a blue swimsuit is
my cousin Amine. The other boy
with the green swimsuit is my friend
Salim, whose father is the hotel
manager. Amine, Salim and I spent a
