00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:10,960
Good morning, everyone. How are you guys? Well, this is your teacher Raina here, and I know that your screen is in black, but don't worry, because it will change.

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:22,219
Today, we have a very special class, and you will ask, why? Because today, we're going to learn interesting and special things about Dubai.

3
00:00:22,219 --> 00:00:33,719
Do you know where is Dubai? Here we have a picture and well, guys, I'm not going to be the one who tells you those special things.

4
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,399
And you will ask, why? Why don't you going to tell us those things?

5
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:49,359
Because one of my friends, whose name is Alicia, she was living in Dubai for a year because she was studying at university there.

6
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:55,679
and there is no one better than her who'll tell you those things. Would you

7
00:00:55,679 --> 00:01:02,259
like to know her? I know that you want to. So, here it is. She is my friend Alicia.

8
00:01:02,259 --> 00:01:08,560
Well, this is me, as you know, and I have another picture. And she is my friend and

9
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,579
this is me. So, would you like to listen to her, guys? Let's go.

10
00:01:16,060 --> 00:01:20,599
This is a message for the students of 3rd grade in Greenwich School.

11
00:01:21,099 --> 00:01:26,840
My name is Alicia and your teacher Marina told me that you wanted to know more things about Dubai.

12
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:32,980
Well, I was living in Dubai for a year. Dubai is a very special city.

13
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,760
It has the tallest tower in the world, which is almost 830 meters tall.

14
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:44,180
It has also the most expensive hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab.

15
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:48,719
Does anybody know Roger Federer?

16
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:54,040
He played a tennis match at the roof of this hotel.

17
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:01,420
Dubai is full of skyscrapers, which are very tall buildings and mosques where Muslims go

18
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:02,420
to pray.

19
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:08,099
Did you know that they have to pray five times a day?

20
00:02:08,099 --> 00:02:13,580
Even though Dubai is an Arab city, you can find hundreds of different nationalities such

21
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:20,340
Germans, Nigerians or Indians. Dubai is placed in the desert so most of the year

22
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:26,719
is very very hot, so if you want to have fun you will have to visit one of the

23
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:31,879
hundred shopping centers in the city. Inside them you can find from a huge

24
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:38,580
aquarium with sharks to a complete sky slope with penguins.

25
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:45,439
