Question
Dear Mohammed,

I am a teacher of English as a Foreign Language and take students from many different countries to visit places in England.

Today I took a group to see York Minster, and there were some students from Saudi Arabia in the group. It is a large famous cathedral in the north of England. They have information leaflets in many different languages - French, German, Japanese, etc., but not in Arabic.

I would like to find some information about York Minster in Arabic on the Internet, which I can print out and give to Arabic speaking students. I don't speak Arabic so it is difficult for me to find something in Arabic on the Internet.

Of course, the Saudi Arabian students are Muslims so almost everything about a cathedral is new to them.

I hope you can help me.

Answer
Dear Laurence,

I searched the Internet for Arabic materials about “York Minster”, but unfortunately I only found some little information about it in Arabic.

Here are some of the links that I found:


1.   http://www.mahjooz.com/showcity.php?id=7&lang=2

2.   http://www.educationuk.org/pls/hot_bc/bc_profile.page_pls_profile_details?x=2928...

3.   http://myrtn.com/myrtn/Pack_Display.asp?Pack_ID=240


If you like, you can send me the English leaflets in PDF or Microsoft Word format, and I will translate it to Arabic for little fees.
