اِسْتَمِعْ لِلدَّرْسِ ثُمَّ أَجِبْ عَمَّا يَلِي:

Listen to the lesson, then answer the following:

مَا الْفِكْرَةُ الرَّئِيسَةُ لِلْمَوْضُوعِ؟

What is the main idea of the topic?

كَيْفَ بَرَّرَ الْكَاتِبُ أَهَمِّيَّةَ التَّعَاوُنِ بَيْنَ الْأَفْرَادِ؟

How does the writer justify the importance of cooperation between individuals?

مَا الَّذِي يَتَرَتَّبُ عَلَى مُسَاعَدَةِ الْآخَرِينَ؟

What is the result of helping others?

بِمَ يَمْتَازُ أُسْلُوبُ الْكَاتِبِ؟

What distinguishes the writer's style?

اِسْتَمِعْ إِلَى الْفِقْرَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الدَّرْسِ ثُمَّ أَجِبْ:

Listen to the first paragraph of the lesson, then answer:

هَاتِ مَعْنَى «يُجِلُّ»، وَجَمْعَ «حَاجَةٍ»، وَمُضَادَّ «يَجْهَلُ».

Provide the meaning of 'revere,' the plural of 'need,' and the antonym of 'ignorant.'

أَشَارَتِ الْفِقْرَةُ إِلَى نَوْعٍ مُعَيَّنٍ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ اذْكُرْهُ وَوَضِّحْ أَهَمِّيَّتَهُ.

The paragraph refers to a specific type of work; identify it and explain its importance.

مَا دَوْرُ الْآبَاءِ تُجَاهَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ لِتَرْسِيخِ الْعَمَلِ التَّطَوُّعِيِّ؟

What is the role of parents in encouraging their children to engage in volunteer work?

أَلْقِ كَلِمَةً عَنْ أَهَمِّيَّةِ الْعَمَلِ التَّطَوُّعِيِّ لِلْمُجْتَمَعِ مُسْتَعِينًا بِالشَّكْلِ التَّالِي مَعَ ضَبْطِ كَلِمَاتِكَ ضَبْطًا صَحِيحًا.

Deliver a speech on the importance of volunteer work to society, using the following outline, and ensure your words are correctly vocalized.

قَالَ أَحَدُ الْأُدَبَاءِ: «عِنْدَمَا كُنْتُ صَغِيرًا بِالْمَدْرَسَةِ كُنْتُ أُعَبِّرُ عَنْ حُبِّي لِبِلَادِي بِالْهُتَافِ لَهَا بِحَنْجَرَتِي، وَلَمَّا تَقَدَّمَتِ السِّنُّ اكْتَشَفْتُ أَنَّ بِلَادِي لَمْ تَعُدْ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى هُتَافِ الْعُقُولِ، فَعِنْدَمَا تَهْتِفُ الْحَنَاجِرُ تَمْلَأُ الدُّنْيَا صُرَاخًا، وَعِنْدَمَا تَهْتِفُ الْعُقُولُ تَمْلَأُ الدُّنْيَا عَمَلًا».

A writer once said: 'When I was a schoolboy, I used to express my love for my country by shouting for it at the top of my lungs. As I grew older, I realized my country no longer needed that; it needed the voice of the mind. When throats shout, they fill the world with noise, but when minds shout, they fill the world with work.'

حَدِّدْ وِجْهَةَ نَظَرِ الْكَاتِبِ فِي الْفِقْرَةِ.

Identify the writer's point of view in the paragraph.

كَيْفَ تَهْتِفُ الْعُقُولُ؟ وَمَا الْجَمَالُ فِي هَذَا التَّعْبِيرِ؟

How do minds 'shout,' and what is the significance of this expression?

مَا أَسْهَلَ الْقَوْلَ وَمَا أَصْعَبَ الْعَمَلَ! مَا الْفِكْرَةُ الْمُشْتَرَكَةُ بَيْنَ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ وَالْفِقْرَةِ السَّابِقَةِ؟

How easy it is to speak, and how difficult it is to act! What is the common theme between this statement and the previous paragraph?

اِسْتَنْتِجْ مِمَّا قَرَأْتَ مَدَى تَحَيُّزِ الْكَاتِبِ أَوْ مَوْضُوعِيَّتِهِ مَعَ التَّعْلِيلِ.

Based on what you have read, determine whether the writer is biased or objective, and provide your reasoning.

مَا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ يَجْهَلُ قِيمَةَ الْعَمَلِ وَأَهَمِّيَّتَهُ فِي اسْتِمْرَارِ الْحَيَاةِ وَرُقِيِّهَا، فَمُنْذُ بَدْءِ الْخَلِيقَةِ وَالْإِنْسَانُ يُجِلُّ الْعَمَلَ، وَمَعَ تَطَوُّرِ الْمُجْتَمَعَاتِ أَصْبَحْنَا فِي حَاجَةٍ مَاسَّةٍ إِلَى نَوْعٍ آخَرَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ: ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلُ الَّذِي نَقُومُ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ مُسَاعَدَةِ الْآخَرِينَ دُونَ انْتِظَارِ مُقَابِلٍ مَادِّيٍّ أَوْ مَعْنَوِيٍّ.

No one is ignorant of the value of work or its importance to the progress and continuity of life. Since the dawn of creation, humanity has held work in high regard. As societies have evolved, we have developed an urgent need for a different kind of work: the kind we perform to help others without expecting any material or moral reward.
