ANSWERS

1.

Nabil is a tourist guide who shows tourists the historic places all around Egypt. He speaks English fluently, but he is not very good at French. That's why he is taking a course these days to improve his French language. He works for a big company. Any person must have certain qualifications in order to work in this company.

Nabil enjoys his work and can make friends easily, so he sometimes exchanges e?mails with some of the tourists at the end of their tour in Egypt. He doesn't only show them the historic places, but also goes shopping with them. He sometimes has to translate from English into Arabic and from Arabic into English, as not all the sales assistants at the shops can speak English with the tourists. He helps the tourists choose good souvenirs for their friends. Sales assistants believe that "the customer is always right," so they treat them very well.

Nabil is glad that his dream (to be a tourist guide) when he was just a student at school has come true.
