UNIT 8 Lesson 7: My Journey
1. Look at the map. What can you see? 2. Read the story. What is it about?
My mother is from
River Nile, 6,853 km
Lake Victoria in
Uganda. One day I
decided to travel to
see the countries
to the north. “Be
careful,” my mother
said. “Travelling to new places can be dangerous.”
I travelled north, through fields with mangoes,
bananas and pineapples. Along my banks there
were many people. Some came to see me and
others came to wash, drink or go fishing.
When I came to Khartoum, I met another big
river. We became friends and decided to travel
together. Next, we came to a land that was very
dry and full of sand. The sun was hot, but we
stayed cool.
After many kilometres of travelling, I finally
reached the end of my journey and joined a
beautiful sea.
