أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّصِّ، ثُمَّ أُجِيبُ:

I listen to the text, then I answer:

أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (√) أَوْ عَلَامَةَ (X) أَمَامَ مَا يَلِي: (أ)

I place a mark (√) or a mark (X) in front of what follows:

غَابَ يُوسُفُ عَنِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِسَبَبِ مَرَضِهِ. (ب)

Yusuf was absent from school because of his illness.

أَحْضَرَ أَمْجَدُ لِزَمِيلِهِ أَدْوِيَةً تُسَاعِدُهُ فِي الشِّفَاءِ. (ج)

Amjad brought his friend medicines that help him in recovery.

قَضَى الصَّدِيقَانِ وَقْتَ الزِّيَارَةِ كُلَّهُ فِي لَعِبِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ. ٢

The two friends spent the entire visit time playing chess.

أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (√) أَمَامَ الْفِكْرَةِ الرَّئِيسَةِ لِلْقِصَّةِ: (أ)

I place a mark (√) in front of the main idea of the story:

مُسَانَدَةُ الْأَصْدِقَاءِ فِي الْأَوْقَاتِ الصَّعْبَةِ. (ب)

Supporting friends in difficult times.

أَهَمِّيَّةُ مُرَاجَعَةِ الدُّرُوسِ بِشَكْلٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ. (ج)

The importance of reviewing lessons continuously.

فَوَائِدُ لُعْبَةِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ فِي تَنْمِيَةِ الذَّكَاءِ. (د)

Benefits of the game of chess in developing intelligence.

زِيَارَةُ الطَّبِيبِ عِنْدَ الشُّعُورِ بِالتَّعَبِ. ٣

Visiting the doctor when feeling tired.

أُرَتِّبُ أَحْدَاثَ الْقِصَّةِ كَمَا وَرَدَتْ فِي النَّصِّ: (أ)

I arrange the events of the story as they appeared in the text:

يُوسُفُ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ، وَيَحْصُلُ عَلَى دَرَجَاتٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ. (ب)

Yusuf returns to school and obtains high grades.

يَزُورُ أَمْجَدُ يُوسُفَ، وَيُسَاعِدُهُ فِي الْمُذَاكَرَةِ، وَيَلْعَبُ مَعَهُ الشَّطْرَنْجَ. (ج)

Amjad visits Yusuf, helps him with studying, and plays chess with him.

يُوسُفُ تَغَيَّبَ عَنِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِسَبَبِ تَعَبِهِ. ٤

Yusuf was absent from school because of his fatigue.

أُجِيبُ عَمَّا يَلِي: (أ)

I answer what follows:

اقْتَرِحْ عُنْوَانًا آخَرَ لِلْقِصَّةِ. (ب)

Suggest another title for the story.

مَا الْقِيمَةُ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتَهَا؟ (ج)

What is the value that you learned?

مَاذَا قَصَدَ يُوسُفُ بِالنَّافِذَةِ فِي قَوْلِهِ: «لَقَدْ كَانَتْ لِي نَافِذَةٌ أُطِلُّ مِنْهَا عَلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ»؟ ٥

What did Yusuf mean by the window in his saying: 'I had a window from which I look out onto the school'?

هَيَّا نَلْعَبْ وَنَتَخَيَّلُ:

Let us play and imagine:

تَخَيَّلْ أَنَّكَ تَمْتَلِكُ نَافِذَةً سِحْرِيَّةً تَرَى بِهَا أَمَاكِنَ بَعِيدَةً: (أ)

Imagine that you possess a magical window through which you see far places:

مَا الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي تُحِبُّ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِ؟ (ب)

What is the place that you like to look at?

كَيْفَ تُسَاعِدُ أَصْدِقَاءَكَ بِهَذِهِ النَّافِذَةِ السِّحْرِيَّةِ؟

How do you help your friends with this magical window?
