أُطَوِّرُ ذَاتِي.

I am working on self-improvement.

أَقْرَأُ الفِقْرَةَ الأُولَى مِنَ النَّصِّ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ مُسْتَخْدِمًا لُغَةَ الجَسَدِ وَتَعْبِيرَاتِ الوَجْهِ؛ لِتَوْضِيحِ فِكْرَةِ أَهَمِّيَّةِ الوَقْتِ.

I read the first paragraph of the text aloud, using body language and facial expressions to convey the importance of time.

عَبِّرْ عَمَّا تَقْرَأُ.

Express what you read.

تَوَقَّفْ عِنْدَ الفَوَاصِلِ.

Pause at the commas.

انْطِقِ الكَلِمَاتِ بِوُضُوحٍ.

Pronounce the words clearly.

فِي مَجْمُوعَاتٍ صَغِيرَةٍ نَتَنَاقَشُ فِيمَا يَلِي:

In small groups, discuss the following:

أَهَمِّيَّةُ تَحْدِيدِ الأَوْلَوِيَّاتِ فِي الحَيَاةِ.

The importance of setting priorities in life.

أَثْنَاءَ المُنَاقَشَةِ، عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُرَاعِيَ مَا يَلِي:

During the discussion, keep the following in mind:

اسْتَمِعْ إِلَى آرَاءِ زُمَلَائِكَ بِاهْتِمَامٍ.

Listen to your classmates' opinions with interest.

انْتَظِرْ دَوْرَكَ فِي النِّقَاشِ.

Wait for your turn to speak.

عَبِّرْ عَنْ رَأْيِكَ بِحُرِّيَّةٍ.

Express your opinion freely.

كَيْفَ يُسَاعِدُنَا تَنْظِيمُ الوَقْتِ فِي تَحْسِينِ حَيَاتِنَا اليَوْمِيَّةِ؟

How does time management help us improve our daily lives?

كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنَا تَطْبِيقُ مَا تَعَلَّمْنَاهُ فِي النَّصِّ عَلَى حَيَاتِنَا اليَوْمِيَّةِ؟

How can we apply what we learned in the text to our daily lives?

شَارِكْ إِجَابَتَكَ مَعَ زُمَلَائِكَ فِي الفَصْلِ.

Share your answer with your classmates.

أَبْحَثُ عَلَى الإِنْتَرْنِتِ عَنْ تَطْبِيقَاتٍ إِلكْتُرُونِيَّةٍ تُسَاعِدُنِي عَلَى تَنْظِيمِ الوَقْتِ وَتَرْتِيبِ المَهَامِ.

I search the internet for apps that help me manage my time and organize my tasks.

أَوْ أَسْأَلُ أَحَدَ أَفْرَادِ أُسْرَتِي عَنْ مُقْتَرَحَاتٍ لِتَنْظِيمِ وَقْتِي، ثُمَّ أُشَارِكُهَا زُمَلَائِي.

Alternatively, I ask a family member for suggestions on how to manage my time, then share them with my classmates.

أُسَامَةُ طَالِبٌ مِثَالِيٌّ، يُنَظِّمُ وَقْتَهُ بِشَكْلٍ جَيِّدٍ بَيْنَ الدِّرَاسَةِ وَمُمَارَسَةِ هِوَايَاتِهِ وَلَا يَتَشَتَّتُ بَيْنَ الأَعْمَالِ.

Osama is an ideal student who balances his time well between studying and his hobbies without getting distracted.

فَهُوَ يُخَصِّصُ وَقْتًا لِإِتْمَامِ وَاجِبَاتِهِ وَمُرَاجَعَةِ دُرُوسِهِ، وَوَقْتًا آخَرَ لِمُمَارَسَةِ هِوَايَاتِهِ المُفَضَّلَةِ مِثْلَ لَعِبِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ وَلَعِبِ كُرَةِ القَدَمِ.

He sets aside time to finish his assignments and review his lessons, as well as time for his favorite hobbies, such as chess and football.

وَبِفَضْلِ تَنْظِيمِهِ الجَيِّدِ لِوَقْتِهِ وَعَدَمِ التَّأْجِيلِ، حَصَلَ عَلَى دَرَجَاتٍ مُمْتَازَةٍ فِي اخْتِبَارَاتِهِ الشَّهْرِيَّةِ.

Thanks to his good time management and avoiding procrastination, he earned excellent grades on his monthly tests.

كَمَا فَازَ بِالجَائِزَةِ الأُولَى فِي مُسَابَقَةِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ عَلَى مُسْتَوَى مَدْرَسَتِهِ.

He also won first prize in the school chess tournament.

وَصَارَ أُسَامَةُ يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِوَقْتِهِ وَيَتَحَكَّمُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ بِشَكْلٍ جَيِّدٍ.

Osama now enjoys his time and has good control over his life.

أُسَامَةُ لَيْسَ لَدَيْهِ وَقْتٌ لِمُمَارَسَةِ هِوَايَاتِهِ.

Osama does not have time to practice his hobbies.

تَنْظِيمُ الوَقْتِ سَاعَدَ أُسَامَةَ عَلَى التَّفَوُّقِ الدِّرَاسِيِّ.

Time management helped Osama excel academically.

بِرَأْيِكَ، هَلْ أُسَامَةُ قُدْوَةٌ لِزُمَلَائِهِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا؟

In your opinion, is Osama a role model for his classmates? Why?
