I am Kate, I live in Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt. There are more than ten million people here. A lot of them come from the countryside because there are more jobs here. I live in an apartment near the city center. It is a busy, exciting place. It has cinemas and shops, but unfortunately there is a lot of traffic too. Many tourists come from all over the world to see the Pyramids, which are near the city. I like Cairo because it is big and exciting. I have a lot of friends and it is easy to meet new people. I am glad that I live here, but my mother doesn’t like it. She used to live in the countryside, and she would like to go back one day. 1. Is Cairo the capital of Egypt? 2.
