Education is about teaching and learning skills and knowledge . There are three forms of education :
FO R MS O F E D UC A TIO N

FORMAL EDUCATION is usually in school, where a person may learn basic, academic, or trade skills. It begins with
elementary/primary , through middle/secondary school and continues with higher education at university. Sponsored by the
government, this form of education is obligatory /mandatory and should often lead to a diploma.
NON-FORMAL EDUCATION includes adult basic education, adult literacy education, or school equivalency preparation. In
UNIT 3 :

non-formal education an adult (or a person who is not in school) can learn literacy, other basic skills , or job skills. This form
of education includes other possibilities, like home schooling , individualized instruction , students on a field trip with their
teacher, etc. It doesn’t necessarily always lead to an official diploma.
INFORMAL EDUCATION is often unintentional and happens outside school and class settings, in the context of daily life
and work. It’s all about things that we learn from our daily experiences and social activities , from informal interaction with
other people. Examples of this type may include reading at home, cooking a meal, chatting on facebook with a foreigner ,
watching an interesting documentary, surfing the internet , using social media …. . It’s mostly about life-long learning.

OF WRITING M r. Abde lka rim Foul fou la
Technology has many advantages. To begin with, it’s making our lives
easier and comfortable. In other words, people save more time and effort with the
use of technology. For example, machines and robots can perform all of our hard
tasks perfectly and in no time. Also, great inventions, like the telephone, computers,
the television, the cell-phone, and the internet have made communication easier
and better. Additionally, research has confirmed the positive effect of technology
on our economic growth. Nowadays, 70% of world businesses rely on technology
to improve the quality of their products or services. Moreover, the various
technological advances in transportation have turned our world into a small village.
This has led to effective interaction between people from different places and
cultures. In fact, with all these advantages, technology has brought about many
positive changes to our every-day lives.
School Dropout in Rural Areas:
The Ibn Khaldoun Conference Hall, in Rabat was the destination of many people
from all parts of Morocco, on November 20th . The event was a seminar organized
by the UNECEF Office in Morocco. It was about the urgent topic of “ Dropping out
school in rural areas: Causes and solutions” . Participants were educators,
parents’ associations, and political officials. Approximately 200 people attended
the meeting. The activities were varied and they included mini-lectures ,
workshops, presentations. The participants concluded that there are three main
causes of dropping out from schools in rural areas. The first one was poverty, the
second one was long distances between school and home, and the third one was
child labor . Also, the participants suggested a few solutions to this issue. Some
of these solutions were: encouraging drop-out students to return to school,
supporting poor families financially, so they can send their children to school, and
sensitizing parents and civil society about the importance of education . In fact, the
seminar was fruitful, informative, and successful, and the attendees expressed
their satisfaction with the outcome.

Last weekend , I had the best time of my life. On Friday night, my best
friend came over and we made a delicious, mouth-watering pizza. After eating, we
had a friendly video game competition. Later, my other best friend, Sami, joined us.
On Saturday, my dad took us out on the boat. The weather was perfect and the
water was warm. It was a great day to go for a swim. Later in the evening , we
went to the movies. We saw an action- packed thriller and ate a lot of popcorn.
Later that night, we spent some time playing chess. Finally, on Sunday, we went
bike-riding around town. By the end of the day, my legs became very sore. We had
great moments. I only hope the next weekend can be as fun as this one. Now, with
such experience, I’ve changed my opinion about weekends.
Oceans and lakes have much in common, but they are also quite different.
Both are bodies of water. Oceans are very large bodies of salt water, while lakes
are much smaller bodies of fresh water. Lakes are usually surrounded by land,
unlike oceans that are what surround continents. Both have plants and animals
living in them. The ocean is home to the largest animals on the planet, whereas
lakes support much smaller forms of life. In conclusion, I think either of the two
makes an interesting place to visit and enjoy.

For Bread Alone is an autobiographical novel by Moroccan author
Mohammed Choukri . It is set in Tnagers, in the 1950’s. The book was translated
in many languages. It describes the writer’s bleak childhood and youth in
Tangers. His family flees drought and starvation in the Rif region and moves to
Tangers and then Tetuan. Most of his siblings have died of neglect, starvation, or
abuse. Yet, the main character, Choukri, survives the beatings of his father,
hunger, and the dangers of the street. He lives by begging, theft , smuggling and
occasional work. He learns to enjoy drugs and alcohol. The book ends with
Mohamed's decision to learn how to read and write. He’s inspired by a chance
meeting in prison and went on to become a writer in Arabic literature. This
narrative is grounded in direct experience and the concerns of every-day life
experiences. Other characters appear and disappear without explanation. The
story is controversial, and it’s told in simple language and dialogue. For some
critics the book is extremely shameful as it involves too many immoral actions
and motives. However, others believe that it paints a realistic picture of Morocco
at the time. I think For Bread Alone is an interesting book which gives us an
honest account of a struggle for survival. It explores various themes that every
Moroccan can understand and relate to.
Uncle Ali is a very dear and special person to me. He is very good-
looking. He’s in his late forties and married, but he looks too young for his
age. He’s pretty tall and strong. He’s got a mustache and a beard. His hair is
dark brown, fairly short, and curly. He’s got beautiful hazel eyes. Uncle Ali is
a very educated and kind-hearted man. He likes to make new friends and
spend time with his family. He’s so funny and likes to tell jokes whenever he
gets a chance to do so. In his free time, Uncle Ali usually goes fishing with his
son, Karim. Also, he really enjoys watching soccer games, action movies, and
reading magazines. He is a smart dresser. He never dresses down. Classic is
his favorite dressing style. That’s why he wears fashionable suits most of the
time. He also wears stylish prescription glasses. He likes to wear expensive
accessories, especially swiss-made hand-watches. I have a lot of respect and
admiration for this person.
Marrakesh is a beautiful city. It’s located in the south of Morocco. It’s
one of the largest cities in Morocco. Also, its one of the busiest cities in Africa..
It’s home to many old mosques, fascinating palaces , and charming gardens.
The old medina is a crowded and cheaper part of the city. It is bordered by
modern neighborhoods. Marraskish is particularly famous for its large
traditional markets and a place called Jemaa el-Fnaa, a charming destination
for magicians, storytellers, dancers, water sellers, snake charmers, and
visitors from all over the world. The people in Marrakesh are very sociable
and friendly. The food is very delicious. Compared to many other cities in the
country, Marrakesh is a very clean place. There’re many interesting places to
visit, like the Koutoubia Mousque , the Menara gardens, the Museum of
Islamic Art, and other fascinating palaces and riads. You can do many other
fun things. For example, you can ride a camel, go hiking, shop for handcrafts
and souvenirs, and learn a lot about local and Islamic culture. What I like
most about the city is its warm weather. However, I don’t like spending the
entire summer there. In fact, Marrakesh is one of the best cities in the world.

interaction between people from different places and cultures. In fact, with all
these advantages, technology has brought about many positive changes
to our every-day lives.
On the other hand , there are some drawbacks to technology . First,
people are becoming more and more over-dependent on technology. Second,
machines are replacing humans in factories. Consequently, more people are losing
their jobs to automation , which has led to a rapid increase in unemployment
rates, especially among young people. Also, because of the incredible
breakthroughs in entertainment industry, people have become less active. That’s

Dear John ,
I hope you’re doing great. Thank you very much for your letter. I was
interesting to learn about some aspects of American culture. Well, I
thought I’d write to tell you a little bit about Morocco and its culture.
Morocoo is a north African country. It’s home to a variety of ethnicities
that live now together in peace. These include the Arabs , the Amazigh,
people of Andalusian origin, and people of sub-suharian descent. Islam is
the predominant religion here. Also, the country is home to a considerably
large Jewish community, and a minority of Christians, as well. Generally,
Moroccans are friendly, easy-going, nice people, who are yet mostly
known for their good sense of humor and hospitality.
The influences of tradition and history reflect on the clothes that
Moroccans wear. The "jellaba" is a full-sleeved robe that is commonly
worn by Moroccan women. The "gandora", which is another popular robe
worn by men, is a short-sleeved male version of the women’s jellaba.
Moroccan people are a heterogeneous group par excellence. They owe such
diversity to the many cultures that have influenced them.
Moroccan cuisine is a mix of Arab-Amazigh and Mediterranean
influences. The two main dishes the country is best-known for are tajine
and couscous. Other popular dishes include “pastila”, “ ttanjia”, and meat
balls. Drinking mint tea is an important ritual that is performed with
family and friends.
I hope this gives you an idea about Moroccan culture. Please write to me
soon, and give my best wishes to your family.
Best wishes ,
Karim
