Write an email to your friend





An English friend of yours has decided to live in Morocco, and he / she needs your help to choose a city or town.

Thank your friend for his / her email.
Say you were pleased to hear he / she was coming to live in Morocco.
Also say he / she is welcome to stay with you for a couple of weeks if he / she likes.
Tell him / her that before deciding where to live, he / she can first visit many places in your home town.
He / she can visit many places near it like (The Oudayas, Chellah, Hassan Tower, the Old   Medina, the beautiful beaches of Harhoura, Sable D’Or, Plage des Nations, or Mehdia etc ...)
Tell your friend he / she can live in your town for these reasons:
It is both a modern and a traditional city.
It is the capital city of the Kingdom.
It is the administrative centre of Morocco, with many modern buildings.
