The Suez Canal runs through the city before it reaches the sea. Ismailia is beautiful. There are attractive buildings , interesting monuments and lots of gardens. Around 350.000 people live here , but since traffic is slow, there isn't much pollution. Ismailia is peaceful but it isn't boring! There are lots of things to do here, especially at the weekends. On Fridays afternoons, I often go to Lake Timsah, which is near the city , with my family. It’s beautiful lake with beaches around it. On Saturday mornings , I have tennis lessons at the sports centre at 9 a.m. sometimes I go swimming in the afternoon with my friend, Sayed. There are some interesting museums in Ismailia ! My favourite is the Natural Science Museum because I'm interested in animals. It’s a good place to go at the weekends. => Language Notes ——== \™) edge poet ob Ctl) oll tt ing — Aagiials Adal Ll Ainall olga j gett at ed Aigiialt ddsall ve Tati -Pm bored.
