Listen and read. Where does Maryam go on Fridays?

Nour : No school tomorrow! Do you want to come to my house?

Maryam: Thanks Nour, but I always help my aunt on Friday afternoons at
the community garden.

Nour : The community garden? What’s that?

Maryam: It’s a big green space on the roof of my Aunt Salma’s apartment
block. The people who work there are all volunteers from the
neighborhood. We grow vegetables to eat, and sometimes we
sell them in the market, too!
Nour : That’s interesting. What things do you grow?

Maryam: Well, we usually plant tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce – things
people eat all the time. Sometimes we also plant fruit trees. This
year we have lemons and dates.

Nour : And you grow all this food in the middle of the city? Wow!
