FIND THE MISSING WORDS:
1. Africa runs 5 000 miles from the Mediterranean sea all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope and 4 600 miles from  Cape Verde all the way over to Somalia.

2. Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that zones, you can see the same average temperature and average precipitations what that means is that you also see very similar plants and animals  living in that region.

3. The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are sandy like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are rocky but in either case, the fact that it is very dry  is going to make it a very difficult barrier to cross.

4. It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the biodiversity. There are many different fauna and vegetation. That can be found in the the rain forest and that’s one of the thing that makes the rain forest so valuable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.

5. The Nile is the most famous river in Africa, because is the largest river in the world. But there is also the Congo river which is the ninth longest river in the world.

6. Africa actually has its own version of the Great Lakes with famous lakes like lake Malawi, lake Victoria and lake Tanganyika.

7. All the Africa is a plateau. Meaning that Africa itself is an elevated land. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find any  any mountain ranges in Africa. You can find mountain ranges like, for example, the the Atlas mountains in northwestern Africa.

8. Africa also has some interesting mountains like Kilimanjaro mountain, the highest peak in Africa which seems to just  rise on it own out of the ground

9. The Great Rift Valley refers to a region of Africa that is  literally, being split apart. There are some tectonic plates that are located within or near Africa, that are, actually, moving away from each other, and what’s doing is creating not just some of the highest elevations in Africa, but also lakes like Tanganyika that is among the deepest in the world.

                                                           SELF-ASSESSMENT                                                                     

When I hear that we gone to make a blog I felt so happy and nervous, because that was a new experience for me, and I really enjoy this, I like this term too, because I can talk more fluently and with less mistakes than the last year. I like a lot when we did games because that help me with my grammar and vocabulary, (the only thing I can't to get better is translate).
I learn a lot about aborigens in Australia and new Zeland and about their dances in Ireland.
I need to do better my translate and yes, only this.
