Kano is a city in Nigeria in West Africa. Unlike other cities in the world, all the buildings and houses in Kano are made of mud. A great mud wall, twelve miles round, surrounds the city. The people here live like their ancestors five hundred years ago. Their mud houses are small and are square or round. Do you know how these people build a mud house? First, they dig up some dry clay soil and add water to it till it becomes a thick paste. Then they use this mixture to build the roof and walls of the house. After that they leave the house to dry in the sun. Once the house is dried, it is ready to be lived in. Will the houses crumble when it rains? No, because there are pipes on all the houses to lead the rain water away to the ground. However, it seldom rains in Kano. There are only occasional thunderstorms in May and June. The streets in Kano are narrow, and there are no lorries or motor cars. Instead you will find thousands of cyclists and some donkeys and camels. Most of the people living in this city own a bicycle each. The busiest place in the city is the market square. Here you will find hawkers selling cloth, carpets, spices, cakes and many other things. On the whole Kano is a busy place and the people there lead a happy life. Pertanyaan2nya adalah: 1. Apakah benar jika teks Kano tsb termasuk jenis teks DESCRIPTIVE ? 2.
