#4- My Emirate Film

My Emirate Film

In my culture class we did Emirate film for our project. It is interesting to make other forging people to know about Emirati tradition.  In fact, it’s good to study other culture also to understand each other better.

Our group are of  four students each one has a little work to do for the project. I learned to many things in this project such as, group work , making the work in time and to many things. I hope you all like our video about culture in the UAE.  And it is pretty cool to watch other country culture and learn about the whole word.
