أَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى النَّصِّ مُتَجَنِّباً مُقَاطَعَةَ المُتَحَدِّثِ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ.

I listen to the text without interrupting the speaker, then I carry out the activity.

أُكْمِلُ الفَرَاغَاتِ الآتِيَةَ بِمُفْرَدَاتٍ سَمِعْتُهَا فِي النَّصِّ.

I fill in the blanks below with vocabulary I heard in the text.

قَائِلُ الحِكَمِ الَّتِي قَرَأْتُهَا حَنِينٌ.

The person who said the words of wisdom I read is Haneen.

يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّصُّ عَنْ.

The text is about.

الشَّخْصِيَّةُ الَّتِي أَثَارَتْ مَوْضُوعَ البَحْثِ عَنْ قَائِلِ الحِكْمَةِ هِيَ.

The character who brought up the subject of finding the speaker of the wisdom is.

أُبَيِّنُ مِيزَةً مِنْ مِيزَاتِ إِخْوَانِ الصِّدْقِ كَمَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنَ النَّصِّ.

I identify one of the characteristics of the 'Brothers of Sincerity' as I heard it in the text.

ذَكَرَ اِبْنُ المُقَفَّعِ آدَابَ حُسْنِ الاِسْتِمَاعِ أَذْكُرُ بَعْضَهَا، ثُمَّ أُضِيفُ إِلَيْهَا آدَاباً أُخْرَى.

Ibn al-Muqaffa mentioned the rules of good listening; I will list some of them and add others.

أَصِلُ العِبَارَةَ بِمَعْنَاهَا المُنَاسِبِ.

I match each phrase with its appropriate meaning.

إِنْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ صَاحِبِكَ رَأْياً يُعْجِبُكَ فَلَا تَنْتَحِلْهُ تَزَيُّناً بِهِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ.

If you hear an opinion from a friend that you like, do not claim it as your own to impress others.

لِيَعْرِفَ العُلَمَاءُ حِينَ تُجَالِسُهُمْ أَنَّكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَسْمَعَ أَحْرَصُ مِنْكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ.

When you sit with scholars, show them that you are more eager to listen than to speak.

اِسْتَثْمِرْ وَقْتَكَ مَعَ مُعَلِّمِيكَ وَالاِسْتِزَادَةَ مِنْ عِلْمِهِمْ.

Make the most of your time with your teachers and seek to increase your knowledge from them.

إِذَا كَانَ الكَلَامُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ بِحِرْصِكَ عَلَى الاِسْتِمَاعِ فَإِنَّ السُّكُوتَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

If speech is silver when you listen well, then silence is gold.

لَا تَنْسُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ قَوْلاً لَيْسَ لَكَ.

Do not claim credit for words that are not your own.
