Gateway 1 Unit 1 our cultural heritage
Morocco is a country with a multi-ethnic society and a rich culture, civilization, and etiquette. Throughout Moroccan history, Morocco has hosted many people, in addition to the indigenous Berbers, coming from the East (Phoenicians, Arabs), South (Sub-Saharan African), and North (Romans, Vandals, Spanish-Andalusians both Muslims and Jewish). All of these have left an impact on the social structure of Morocco. It has also hosted many forms of beliefs, from Paganism, Judaism, Christianity to Islam. Each region possesses its own uniqueness, contributing to the national culture. Morocco has set among its top priorities, the protection of its diversity, and the preservation of its cultural heritage.

Thanks a bunch Mr.Nabil for your efforts .THERE IS A MISTAKE IN (ABOUT THE AUTHOR) YOU WROTE ….. a teacher who have been teaching .I think it should be ….. a teacher who HAS been teaching
With pleasure 🙂
As for what you thought is a mistake, in fact it is not.
Why?
because “I am a high school English Teacher who have been teaching over more than 11 years now. ”
that sentence normally is : I am a high school English Teacher + I have been teaching over more than 11 years now. those two sentences I joined them in one using the relative pronoun “who”. That “who” replaces the “I”. Thus “I have been” = “who have been”.
And thanks a lot for your remark 🙂
