WHILE READING

Dear Becky,Im having a very good time here in the Algerian Sahara. Yesterday, the tourist guide took us on a visit to the Hoggar. You know what? The Sahara didnt use to be a desert. It used to be a green land with large rivers and big lakes which contained a lot of fish. It had large forests, which were full of dangerous animals. The people who used to live in the Sahara were cave people. They painted many beautiful pictures of animals and hunters in the caves where they lived. They wore the skins of the animals which they hunted. Guess the origin of the word Sahara! I know you will tell me that it comes from the Arabic word Sahra which means desert. Well, thats Sahra what weve learned at school. But I have discovered here that the word Sahara probably comes from Sagara which is a Sanskrit word for big sea.I took beautiful pictures of the caves, the frescoes in the Hoggar and Im looking forward to showing them to you and my classmates.With my best wishes.Ann

Write it out:Write a short note for tourists about what life used to be like in the Sahara .Life used to be dangerous in the Sahara. You know tigers, bears and lions, which lived near the caves, used to attack cave people. Life was even more dangerous for children. The children who used to stay close to the open fire often got burnt. The children who often fetched water to drink fell into the deep lakes and died .
