أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (√) أَمَامَ الْعِبَارَةِ الصَّحِيحَةِ، وَعَلَامَةَ (X) أَمَامَ الْعِبَارَةِ غَيْرِ الصَّحِيحَةِ:

Mark (√) next to the correct statements and (X) next to the incorrect ones:

يَقَعُ الْمُتْحَفُ الْمِصْرِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ مَيْدَانِ التَّحْرِيرِ.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is located near Tahrir Square.

مُشَاهَدَةُ آثَارِ بِلَادِي وَمَعْرِفَةُ تَارِيخِهَا يَجْعَلُنِي فَخُورًا بِأَنَّنِي مِصْرِيٌّ.

Seeing my country’s antiquities and learning their history makes me proud to be Egyptian.

الْحَجْمُ الْكَبِيرُ لِتِمْثَالِ رَمْسِيسَ الثَّانِي يَدُلُّ عَلَى عَظَمَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَقُوَّتِهِمْ.

The massive size of the statue of Ramses II reflects the greatness and power of the Egyptians.

لَمْ يَعْرِفِ النَّاسُ أَدَوَاتِ الطِّبِّ وَالْجِرَاحَةِ إِلَّا فِي الْعَصْرِ الْحَدِيثِ.

People only became aware of medical and surgical tools in the modern era.

أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (√) عِنْدَ الْآدَابِ الَّتِي يَجِبُ مُرَاعَاتُهَا عِنْدَ زِيَارَةِ الْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ:

Mark (√) the rules of conduct that should be followed when visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum:

التَّحَدُّثُ بِصَوْتٍ مُنْخَفِضٍ دَاخِلَ قَاعَاتِ الْعَرْضِ.

Speak in a low voice inside the exhibition halls.

لَمْسُ الْقِطَعِ الْأَثَرِيَّةِ لِتَعَرُّفِ مَلْمَسِهَا.

Touch the artifacts to feel their texture.

احْتِرَامُ تَعْلِيمَاتِ الْمُرْشِدِينَ وَالْعَامِلِينَ بِالْمُتْحَفِ.

Respect the instructions of the museum guides and staff.

الْتِقَاطُ الصُّوَرِ فِي الْأَمَاكِنِ الْمَسْمُوحِ بِهَا فَقَط.

Take photos only in designated areas.

الْجَرْيُ دَاخِلَ الْمُتْحَفِ وَاللَّعِبُ بَيْنَ الْقَاعَاتِ.

Run inside the museum and play between the halls.

الْمُحَافَظَةُ عَلَى نَظَافَةِ الْمَكَانِ وَمَظْهَرِهِ الْجَمَالِيِّ.

Keep the place clean and preserve its beauty.

الْوُقُوفُ فِي الصَّفِّ وَالِانْتِظَارُ بِهُدُوءٍ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الدُّخُولِ.

Stand in line and wait patiently at the entrance.

الِاسْتِمَاعُ الْجَيِّدُ لِشَرْحِ الْمُرْشِدِ.

Listen carefully to the guide’s explanation.

هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُسْتَعِدُّونَ لِلتَّحَدِّي؟

Are you ready for the challenge?

أُجِيبُ عَمَّا يَلِي:

Answer the following:

مَا الْفِكْرَةُ الرَّئِيسَةُ لِلنَّصِّ؟

What is the main idea of the text?

لِمَاذَا كَانَ افْتِتَاحُ الْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ مُنَاسَبَةً عَالَمِيَّةً مُهِمَّةً؟

Why was the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum a major global event?

كَيْفَ جَمَعَ الْمِصْرِيُّ الْقَدِيمُ بَيْنَ الْفَنِّ وَالْعِلْمِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ؟

How did ancient Egyptians combine art and science in their lives?

مَاذَا يَسْتَفِيدُ التَّلَامِيذُ مِنَ الْأَنْشِطَةِ الْعَمَلِيَّةِ مِثْلَ تَرْمِيمِ الْآثَارِ؟

What do students gain from practical activities like artifact restoration?
