Unit 3 (Did you enjoy school today?)
Pupil’s book page 14 ex 4 Read and answer) lesson 5
Dear Aunt Muna,
I am learning about the traditional costumes of Jordan for a school project. In the past, women sewed traditional costumes. Some costumes were very colourful.
The dresses had a rectangle with special sewing around the bottom, the neck and the sides of the costumes. The dresses had long sleeves. The costumes were different in the north and in the south of Jordan.
You can go to the museum with Mum when you visit.
Best wishes,
Samira
