أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّصّ، ثُمَّ أَجِيبُ.

I listen to the text, then I answer.

أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (✓) أَمَامَ الْعِبَارَةِ الصَّحِيحَةِ، وَعَلَامَةَ (X) أَمَامَ الْعِبَارَةِ غَيْرِ الصَّحِيحَةِ.

Mark (✓) next to the correct statement and (X) next to the incorrect one.

طَلَبَتْ مَرْيَمُ مِنْ وَالِدِهَا شِرَاءَ وَرْدٍ أَحْمَرَ.

Maryam asked her father to buy her a red rose.

بَحَثَتْ مَرْيَمُ عَلَى الْإِنْتَرْنِت عَنْ كَيْفِيَّةِ الزِّرَاعَةِ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ.

Maryam searched the internet for how to grow plants at home.

فِي يَوْمِ الْعُطْلَةِ سَافَرَتْ مَرْيَمُ لِمَزْرَعَةِ جَدِّهَا.

On her day off, Maryam traveled to her grandfather's farm.

بَدَأَتْ مَرْيَمُ تُتَابِعُ نَبْتَتَهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، وَتَسْقِيهَا بِالْمَاءِ.

Maryam began checking on her plant every day and watering it.

أَكْتُبُ شُعُورَ مَرْيَمَ فِي كُلِّ مَوْقِفٍ، وَأَذْكُرُ السَّبَبَ.

Describe how Maryam felt in each situation and explain why.

تَخَيَّلْ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّبْتَةَ تَحَدَّثَتْ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ، مَاذَا سَتَقُولُ لَهَا؟

Imagine if the plant could talk to Maryam; what would it say?

احْكِ لِزُمَلَائِكَ عَنْ نَبْتَةٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزْرَعَهَا، وَلِمَاذَا؟

Tell your classmates which plant you would love to grow, and why.

أُلَوِّنُ بِاللَّوْنِ الْأَخْضَرِ مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَهُ لِتَرْعَى نَبْتَةً فِي بَيْتِنَا.

Color the actions we should take to care for a houseplant green.

نَسْقِي النَّبَاتَ بِانْتِظَامٍ.

Water the plant regularly.

نَرْوِي النَّبَاتَ بِكَمِّيَّاتٍ كَبِيرَةٍ مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ.

Give the plant much more water than it needs.

نَضَعُ النَّبَاتَ تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ دَائِمًا.

Always keep the plant under the bed.

نُنَظِّفُ الْإِنَاءَ الَّذِي نَزْرَعُ فِيهِ.

Clean the pot you are using for planting.

نَضَعُ النَّبَاتَ فِي مَكَانٍ مُشْمِسٍ حَسَبَ حَاجَةِ النَّبَاتِ.

Place the plant in a sunny spot, depending on what it needs.
