CHAPTER 1 Holiday Plans Neil Mackenzie and Julie Goodwin are best friends. They are in the same class at Redwood High School and they do everything together. Now it's the summer holidays and they are planning a special trip — to Africa! They are sitting in Neil's bedroom, looking at a large map of Africa. They are looking for a lake called Lake Victoria. There it is," says Neil. "That's where my dad's camp is — near Lake Victoria." "Wow, Africa is enormous," says Julie, "and Lake Victoria is vast. Look at all the countries next to it — Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi... There must be a lot of animals and birds there. Are there lions and elephants and giraffes?" "Yes, and a lot of other animals too," laughs Neil, "but remember, Julie, we're going there to help my dad." What's he looking for, exactly?" asks Julie. "Well, Dad has a theory that there was an advanced civilisation in that area thousands of years ago." -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡

"What? A forgotten civilisation."' asks Julie. "Yes, and probably not African. He thinks the people were from another continent, perhaps from the Middle East and they migrated to East Africa in about 500 B.C. A team of archaeologists is working near the lake at the moment, looking for traces of these people. My dad is their boss." Neil's father is a famous archaeologist, Dr Duncan Mackenzie. Neil and Julie are going to fly to the camp this summer to help with the excavations. They are very excited. They want to visit Africa and see all the wonderful creatures that live there. They both like archaeology and they love mysteries. They hope to find some important things to help Dr Mackenzie. The door opens and Mrs Mackenzie, Neil's mum, comes in to show them some photographs. "What are those, Mrs Mackenzie?'' asks Julie. "They're metal objects — bracelets and rings — from the site at Lake Victoria," replies her friend's mother. "Are they very old, Mum?" asks Neil. "Your dad thinks they're from around 200 B.C.," she says. "Wow!" exclaims Julie. 'That's old! What's that motif on the objects?' "It's an eagle. The experts think it was the symbol of the forgotten civilisation," replies Mrs Mackenzie. -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡

"It looks Egyptian," says Julie. "Exactly," replies Neil. "And dad thinks they were originally people who migrated from Egypt down the River Nile into Uganda, to found a city somewhere in the area near the lake," explains Neil. "It's a controversial idea, Julie. Some other experts think that my husband is mad!" Neil's mother says, smiling. "He hopes to find some evidence to prove it this summer." -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡

"It's like a film — a real mystery!" says Julie. "Imagine if we find some treasures, or some tombs, or a mummy, like the ones in Egypt..." "Hey, wait a minute, Indiana Jones!" laughs Neil. "If we are really lucky, we can find some small artefacts — I don't think we're going to find a lost city!" "You never know," replies Julie. "What time does our plane leave on Saturday, Mrs Mackenzie?" "It leaves at ten o'clock. Is your passport ready, dear? "Yes, but can you help me to pack my bag?" I'm not sure what to take," says Julie. "Of course. Why don't you bring your backpack here tomorrow and we can see if you've got everything you need," suggests Neil's mother. "Okay, Mrs Mackenzie, thanks. I must go now, Neil — I'm going to go shopping with my mum later. She wants to buy me some new walking boots for the trip. See you tomorrow," says Julie. "Okay, Julie, see you!" replies her friend. -------+-------+------+------+------ برای دریافت ترجمه داستان #story6 رو بفرست @soft88 -------+-------+------+------+------ روش پیشنهادی کانال برای خواندن داستان جهت تقویت زبان انگلیسی -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡

CHAPTER2 A Journey It's Saturday morning and Julie and Neil are at the check-in desk at Heathrow Airport. They are waiting for their plane. They have a trolley to carry their backpacks with all the necessary clothes and equipment, plus a new tent, mosquito nets and sleeping bags. Julie's parents are there too. They are a bit worried about the children's trip. Africa is very far from home and the camp is in a very remote area. "We've got a present for you, Julie," says her father, giving her a small package. Julie opens it. Inside is a mobile phone. "Thanks, Mum and Dad, it's fantastic!" exclaims Julie. "Now you can call us every day — even from the middle of the savannah!" says her dad. "And please call home regularly. I want to know that you are safe, dear," adds her mum, "It's a great present, Mum, thanks very much. Please don't worry about me. Everything is going to be alright. Neil's dad is going to meet us in Kampala with a Land Rover and take us directly to the camp." "Yes, Mrs Goodwin — my father knows the country very well and he's got a lot of friends there. It's not dangerous," adds Neil. Julie's mum smiles but she's not convinced. She hugs her daughter. -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡

"Do you think that we've got everything, Neil?" asks Julie. "I've got the medical things in my backpack and the maps. Torch and compass are in yours," replies Neil. "Have you got your ticket and passport, Julie?" "Here they are," says Mr Goodwin. "Now, give them to the assistant there, put your bags here and collect Your boarding cards. Your flight leaves from gate 15 in an hour. We have time for a drink before you go. Would you like a drink, Julie?" "Oh, yes please, Dad — and some chocolate cake too!" Make the most of it, Julie," laughs Neil. 'There aren't any chocolate cakes or milkshakes where we're going!" It's two o'clock and the two friends are on board the Air Ethiopia 747 flying over the African continent. They look out of the window at the extraordinary landscape below them, while the plane flies south. Julie is surprised that the country is green. "Ethiopia isn't all dry and dusty," she thinks. The white clouds open and reveal a region of high plains, rivers and mountains. The sky is very blue. The land is a hundred different colours of green. Neil has the map and they study it, trying to understand where they are now. "l think that we're here, Julie, over the high plains of Ethiopia," Neil indicates. "Yes, you're right, says the hostess, arriving with their lunch. "We have -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡

a stopover in Addis Ababa before we arrive in Kampala. Those mountains that you can see there are the Ch'ok'é Mountains. This part of Ethiopia is very fertile, different from the north, near Sudan — there, a lot of the land is desert." The children sit in Addis Ababa airport, watching the people around them. They see tall, elegant Ethiopian women in white clothes and colourful necklaces, carrying their babies in their arms. They see children who are selling tropical fruit. They see soldiers in green uniforms, businessmen in grey suits, pilgrims in long, striped robes Everything is strange and exotic, completely different from England and home. Neil and Julie are fascinated! -------+-------+------+------+------ برای دریافت ترجمه داستان #story6 رو بفرست @soft88 -------+-------+------+------+------ روش پیشنهادی کانال برای خواندن داستان جهت تقویت زبان انگلیسی -------+-------+------+------+------ ⛔️ No copy, No share, in any form 🏡 @English_House 🏡 🏡 eitaa.com/joinchat/1889533964C9ac79d3ff1 🏡
