Marhaba! I recently learned of a very interesting event for women in Algeria. Today, I am sharing the news story via Al Arabiya. In contrast to previous posts where I discussed the major plot of the news story, today I want you to make sense of the event in Algeria with minimal hints. As you know by now, I always interested in stories about women in the Arab world, especially those that focus on breaking gender stereotypes and achieving more gender equality. As I have mentioned before, it is very important to practice your reading and writing skills with reading comprehension exercises; however, it is equally important to perfect your listening skills. As always, I have some questions for you to answer. Good luck! Share your thoughts on the news story on this page and/or via our Twitter/Facebook pages.

Questions:

1)  What did the women in Algeria organize?

2) Where did it take place?

3) What was the minimum age set for this race?

4) How long in distance was the race?

5) How much did one individual (Jamila Najjar) travel to participate in this event?

For now take care and stay tuned for the answers soon!
Happy Learning!
Have a nice day!!
