Mark (√) or (X) for the following:

غَابَ يُوسُفُ عَنِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِسَبَبِ مَرَضِهِ.

Yusuf was absent from school due to illness.

أَحْضَرَ أَمْجَدُ لِزَمِيلِهِ أَدْوِيَةً تُسَاعِدُهُ فِي الشِّفَاءِ.

Amjad brought his friend medicine to help him recover.

قَضَى الصَّدِيقَانِ وَقْتَ الزِّيَارَةِ كُلَّهُ فِي لَعِبِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ.

The two friends spent their entire visit playing chess.

Supporting friends during difficult times.

أَهَمِّيَّةُ مُرَاجَعَةِ الدُّرُوسِ بِشَكْلٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ.

Visiting the doctor when feeling unwell.

أُرَتِّبُ أَحْدَاثَ الْقِصَّةِ كَمَا وَرَدَتْ فِي النَّصِّ:

Order the events of the story as they occurred in the text:

يُوسُفُ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ، وَيَحْصُلُ عَلَى دَرَجَاتٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ.

Yusuf returns to school and earns high grades.

يَزُورُ أَمْجَدُ يُوسُفَ، وَيُسَاعِدُهُ فِي الْمُذَاكَرَةِ، وَيَلْعَبُ مَعَهُ الشَّطْرَنْجَ.

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

يُوسُفُ تَغَيَّبَ عَنِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِسَبَبِ تَعَبِهِ.

Yusuf was absent from school because he was ill.

أُجِيبُ عَمَّا يَلِي:

Answer the following:

اقْتَرِحْ عُنْوَانًا آخَرَ لِلْقِصَّةِ.

Suggest another title for the story.

مَا الْقِيمَةُ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتَهَا؟

What lesson did you learn?

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

What did Yusuf mean by the window when he said, "I had a window through which I could look out at school"?

هَيَّا نَلْعَبْ وَنَتَخَيَّلُ:

Let's play and imagine:

تَخَيَّلْ أَنَّكَ تَمْتَلِكُ نَافِذَةً سِحْرِيَّةً تَرَى بِهَا أَمَاكِنَ بَعِيدَةً:

Imagine you have a magic window that lets you see faraway places:

مَا الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي تُحِبُّ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِ؟

What place would you like to look at?

كَيْفَ تُسَاعِدُ أَصْدِقَاءَكَ بِهَذِهِ النَّافِذَةِ السِّحْرِيَّةِ؟

How would you use this magic window to help your friends?
