READING

READ THE LETTER, THEN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW.

Dear Terry,
Greetings from Cairo! The weather is very hot here and I’m having a wonderful time. I’m staying with my friend, Abdullah. He lives in the centre of Cairo. I’ve been here since Monday and I’ve already done lots of things! I’ve already visited the Khan al-Khalili bazaar. We visited it on Tuesday. I bought some lovely handmade souvenirs there. I have also seen the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. I saw them yesterday. They were amazing. I even rode a camel. It was fun! I’ve been to a traditional restaurant. Abudllah took me there last night. I tried couscous and falafel. The place was fantastic and the food was just delicious.
There are a lot of things I haven’t done yet. I haven’t been on a boat trip down the River Nile yet, and I haven’t visited the Egyptian Museum. We are going on a boat trip tomorrow and we are going to visit the museum one of these days to see the exhibits. We are also going to visit Luxor. The place is famous for its huge temples and statues.
Cairo is a fascinating city – you must visit it one day! Anyway, I’m returning to England on Sunday next week, so I’ll call you then.
Best wishes,
Jack

CONNECT THE QUESTIONS TO THE ANSWERS

1) Norovirus is a common stomach bug, caused by a very small virus and it is easily passed on from one person to another.

2) Norovirus causes sickness and diarrhoea. You may also feel headaches, abdominal pains, or you may have a high temperature

3) Although unpleasant, norovirus is not dangerous. Most people make a full recovery within a couple of days.

4) No. Because it is highly contagious, you risk passing it on to other people who are already in a weak state. Stay at home and rest.

5) Only if your symptoms last longer than a few days, or if you are already suffering from a serious illness.

6) Wash your hands frequently, and avoid putting your fingers in your mouth. Be aware that the virus can also spread via towels and flannels, so don’t share them. Keep all surfaces clean and disinfected, not just in the bathroom but in other areas too.

7) You will be infectious for a few days after your symptoms have passed, so avoid direct contact with people for at least 48 hours after your symptoms pass. Stay away from work and keep young children out of school.
