Money from other countries; my country poster
In Egypt our money is the pound. We write LE. One pound is 100 piastres. Other countries have different money. In France they use euros. In America they use dollars. In China they use yuan. We say these names only; we do not change one money into another. Now we add and take away in pounds. A sandwich is 6 LE and a juice is 4 LE. The total is 10 LE. For a country poster we write: This is … . The capital is … . The people are … . They use … .
