Dear Laila,
Have you ever visited the Dead Sea? It’s in the west of Jordan. Many visitors come here because it is a very beautiful place.
It is big and salty. There is land all around it. The Jordan River goes into it from the north. Do you think that the Dead Sea is a lake or a sea?
There is a lot of salt in the water. Many people think that the salt is good for their health. Some people buy Dead Sea salt and they use it at home.
See you next week.
Your friend
Samira
