Explanation

Ancient Egyptians loved jewellery. They wore rings, bracelets and wide collars. Some jewellery was gold, and some had colourful stones like blue and red stones. They had small scarab beetles on rings and necklaces. People wore a scarab for good luck. Today we can see ancient jewellery in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. We are proud of our history. Now write a story of yesterday with these frames: Yesterday I went to … . I saw … . I wore … . I loved … .
