[/FONT][FONT="]Here is an email sent by Eliza, a[/FONT][FONT="]South-African girl to an Algerian key- pal. Read it carefully then do the tasks[/FONT][FONT="]that follow[/FONT][FONT="]: [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Dear Yasmine[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]I have found your email address on the[/FONT][FONT="]internet this morning, and I am so pleased to correspond with an Algerian key[/FONT][FONT="]- [/FONT][FONT="]pal. Your country is getting more and more popular these days among the South[/FONT][FONT="]- [/FONT][FONT="]Africans, and we are proud of the qualification of your national squad for 2010[/FONT][FONT="]World Cup. I am eager to know more about you and your country. But I have to[/FONT][FONT="]introduce myself first[/FONT][FONT="]. [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]My name is Eliza. I am named after my grandmother[/FONT][FONT="]who passed away seven years ago. Her death caused a terrible shock to me. I am[/FONT][FONT="] 15 [/FONT][FONT="]going on 16. I am a first- year student of Experimental Sciences at Nelson Mandela High School. I am quite tall and plump. I look a bit like my father. I[/FONT][FONT="]have got his fair hair and dark brown eyes, but I have got my mother’s[/FONT][FONT="]personality. I live in a so small, healthier, and mutually supportive[/FONT][FONT="]family[/FONT][FONT="].[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]On weekdays, I always wake up early in the morning to do ablution and[/FONT][FONT="]prepare myself for the Dawn prayer. I often take my breakfast at seven. After[/FONT][FONT="]finishing the breakfast, I dress and go to school. I generally take the bus[/FONT][FONT="]because it is a little bit far. I have classes from 8 to 11 in the morning and[/FONT][FONT="]from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. I would like to be important in the near future. I[/FONT][FONT="]want to get a job consistent with my speciality. I have a dream. I want to be a[/FONT][FONT="]video-photographer for weddings and social ceremonies[/FONT][FONT="]. [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]I live, together with[/FONT][FONT="]my family, in Johannesburg, the richest city in South Africa. It is undergoing[/FONT][FONT="]renovation since the early 2000‘s, motivated in its approach by the next World[/FONT][FONT="]Cup Football championship. Johannesburg has about 710 000 inhabitants, a density[/FONT][FONT="]of 1 962 inhabitants / km ². The city is known for hosting the Earth Summit2002[/FONT][FONT="]and the final FIFA World Cup to be held on Sunday, July 11. I hear a great[/FONT][FONT="]number of Algerians will arrive in Johannesburg to support their national team[/FONT][FONT="]. [/FONT][FONT="]It would be a great surprise to see you among them. Never mind, the weather will[/FONT][FONT="]be beautiful. Welcome! Eliza[/FONT][FONT="]
