Part 2.

A.    What are your thoughts and reactions on the map of Africa?

The map of Africa shows that around Africa there is Mediterranean sea and some part of southern Europe. It connects the Europe countries to Middle East. The geographical area is suitable for trade with many Europe countries which is very beneficial for the Middle East states. The satellite shows the pinpoint of trade where different organisations expand their business. As business student, it is very suitable for me to work in state like Oman.

B.     Write a poem or a creative essay connecting your history to Africa.

Africa is the second-largest and most crowded continent in world. It almost covers the 6% area of total world and 20% of land area. Africa is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and Red sea. In the field of trade, geographically Africa can trade any country but they choose Europe. In 15^th century, Africa developed a strong relationship with Europe in terms of trade which make a positive change in the economy of Africa.

Africa was also famous for the natural resource of gold and precious metals. These resources attract Europe to build relationship with Africa. Africa improved the imports and exports with Europe to get maximum in the in returns. Africa performs as a middle man in the trade of Middle East countries and Europe.
