Reading Test


        Hello! My cousin Hind is a rich single Moroccan engineer aged 24. She lives with her parents in a large villa in Rabat. This is one of her family picnic videos. Look at her grandma! She is waving and smiling at the camera. Her father is over there playing badminton with her brother, Hassan while Jawad is riding his new bicycle. The kids are playing hide-and-seek: Aya is hiding, and Reda is looking for her. The dog is happy. It is jumping and barking. I like this video because it is very funny.
