Why is the Aswan Dam a great success?
What is the spirit of the Aswan Dam project?
Retell how the problems were solved according to the information structure.
1. Why do you think so many countries contributed funds and
offered help to the Egyptian project?
I think that many countries helped because Egyptian history and relics are world-famous and are highly valued around the world as part of our shared cultural history.
