أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّيِّ، ثُمَّ أُجِيبُ:

I listen to the flute, then answer:

أَضَعُ عَلَامَةَ (√) أَوْ (X) أَمَامَ الْعِبَارَاتِ الْآتِيَةِ:

I place a (√) or (X) next to the following statements:

تُبْنَى الْمَنَازِلُ فِي سِيوَةَ بِمَوَادَّ طَبِيعِيَّةٍ تُسَاعِدُ عَلَى التَّكَيُّفِ مَعَ الْبِيئَةِ.

Houses in Siwa are built with natural materials that help them adapt to the environment.

مِنَ الْمَعَالِمِ السِّيَاحِيَّةِ فِي وَاحَةِ سِيوَةَ «عَيْنُ كِلْيُوبَاتْرَا».

Cleopatra's Bath is one of the tourist landmarks in Siwa Oasis.

شَارَكَ الرُّمَلَاءُ فِي تَصْمِيمِ مُجَسَّمٍ لِمَدْرَسَةٍ تَعْمَلُ بِالطَّاقَةِ الشَّمْسِيَّةِ.

The local residents participated in designing a model for a school that runs on solar energy.

قَرْيَةُ (شَالِي) بُنِيَتْ مِنَ الْأَحْجَارِ وَالرُّخَامِ.

The village of Shali was built from stone and salt blocks.

أُجِيبُ عَنِ الْأَسْئِلَةِ التَّالِيَةِ:

I answer the following questions:

مَا أَهَمُّ مَا يُمَيِّزُ وَاحَةَ سِيوَةَ مِنْ وِجْهَةِ نَظَرِكَ؟

What do you think is the most distinctive feature of Siwa Oasis?

دَلِّلْ عَلَى اهْتِمَامِ سُكَّانِ وَاحَةِ سِيوَةَ بِالْبِيئَةِ.

Provide evidence of how the residents of Siwa Oasis care for their environment.

مَا رَأْيُكَ فِي فِكْرَةِ مَشْرُوعِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ الْبِيئِيَّةِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا؟

What is your opinion of the environmental school project, and why?

أُكْمِلُ الْجَدْوَلَ الْآتِيَ:

I complete the following table:

مَنْ يَسْتَمِعْ جَيْدًا يَفْهَمْ أَكْثَرَ، وَمَنْ يَفْهَمْ أَكْثَرَ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُعَبِّرَ بِثِقَةٍ.

Whoever listens well understands more, and whoever understands more can express themselves with confidence.

حَاوِلْ أَنْ تَرْبِطَ بَيْنَ مَا تَسْمَعُهُ وَمَا تَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ مَعْلُومَاتِكَ عَنِ الْبِيئَةِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ.

Try to connect what you hear with what you already know about the Egyptian environment.

أَخْتَارُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَهَامِّ التَّالِيَةِ، وَأُطَبِّقُهَا خِلَالَ يَوْمِي، وَأَعْرِضُهَا عَلَى زُمَلَائِي:

I choose one of the following tasks, carry it out during my day, and present it to my classmates:

أَبْحَثُ عَنْ مَكَانٍ فِي مُحَافَظَتِي يُمْكِنُ أَنْ نَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهِ فِي رِحْلَةٍ مَدْرَسِيَّةٍ، وَأَعْرِضُهُ عَلَى زُمَلَائِي.

I look for a place in my governorate suitable for a school trip and present it to my classmates.

أُصَمِّمُ مُجَسَّمًا لِمَدِينَةٍ صَدِيقَةٍ لِلْبِيئَةِ، بُيُوتُهَا بَسِيطَةٌ، وَأُشَارِكُهُ مَعَ زُمَلَائِي عَبْرَ إِحْدَى وَسَائِلِ التَّوَاصُلِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيِّ.

I design a model for an eco-friendly city with simple houses and share it with my classmates via social media.

أُشَارِكُ زُمَلَائِي - عَبْرَ إِحْدَى وَسَائِلِ التَّوَاصُلِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيِّ - مَنْشُورًا أَدْعُو فِيهِ إِلَى الِاهْتِمَامِ بِمَدِينَتِنَا وَالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَيْهَا.

I share a post with my classmates on social media, encouraging them to care for and preserve our city.
