CAN YOU understand this text?
I studied for three months at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, in Amman, the capital of Jordan. It was a life-changing experience. Every day was a new adventure - very different from my life in the US. While I was there, I studied US politics in the Middle East, the history of the Arab world, and Arabic language.
people often ask me what my favorite memory is, but it's difficult to answer because there are so many! I loved riding a camel in the Wadi Rum desert and I went on an amazing excursion to petra. The countryside was beautiful and completely different from where I live in the US. I also enjoyed the unique culture of Jordan. Of course, there were things that I sometimes found difficult, but everybody from Jordan was very understanding and friendly.
My recommendation for people who want to study abroad is to go a country that is completely different from where you live and to stay as long as you can. I loved learning about another culture and I think studying abroad is a great experience.
a. Read the article about Delaney Morgan, an American student who studied in Jordan. Which three places in Jordan does she mention?
b. Read again and mark the sentences T (true) or F (false).
1. Delaney spent three weeks in Jordan.
2. Her life there was different from her life at home.
3. She didn't learn any Arabic.
4. She has a lot of good memorise of Jordan.
5. She stayed in Amman all the Time.
6. She didn't like the countryside.
7. The Jordanians weren't always very friendly.
8. She thinks it's good to experience life in another country.
