What does the structure communicate?

2Form

Which word or ending changes?

3Agreement

What must match the noun or person?

4Transfer

Can you use it with new vocabulary?

فِكْرَةٌ رَئِيسِيَّةٌ + تَفْصِيلٌ + سَبَبٌ
Target pattern 1

Use this structure in a complete, meaningful Arabic sentence.

أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ، بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، أَخِيرًا
Target pattern 2

Use this structure in a complete, meaningful Arabic sentence.

هٰذَا المَجَالُ / هٰذِهِ المِهْنَةُ / فِيهِ
Target pattern 3

Use this structure in a complete, meaningful Arabic sentence.

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ ... فَإِنَّ ...
Target pattern 4

Use this structure in a complete, meaningful Arabic sentence.

1

Paragraph focus

فِكْرَةٌ رَئِيسِيَّةٌ + تَفْصِيلٌ + سَبَبٌ

Each paragraph should develop one main point.

أَطْمَحُ إِلَى العَمَلِ فِي الطِّبِّ. سَأَدْرُسُ العُلُومَ لِأَنَّهَا أَسَاسُ هٰذَا المَجَالِ.
2

Controlled sequence

أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ، بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ، أَخِيرًا

Use sequencing to organise plans, not to join unrelated ideas.

أَوَّلًا سَأُكْمِلُ دِرَاسَتِي، ثُمَّ سَأَتَدَرَّبُ.
3

Reference without repetition

هٰذَا المَجَالُ / هٰذِهِ المِهْنَةُ / فِيهِ

Use reference expressions to avoid repeating the same noun.

أُحِبُّ الهَنْدَسَةَ. هٰذَا المَجَالُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ العِلْمِ وَالإِبْدَاعِ.
4

Concession

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ ... فَإِنَّ ...

Acknowledge a difficulty before defending the choice.

عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّ التَّدْرِيبَ طَوِيلٌ، فَإِنَّ المِهْنَةَ مُجْزِيَةٌ.

Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.

أَطْمَحُ إِلَى العَمَلِ فِي الطِّبِّ. سَأَدْرُسُ العُلُومَ لِأَنَّهَا أَسَاسُ هٰذَا المَجَالِ.

The corrected sentence follows the first target rule.

تَرْكِيبٌ نَاقِصٌ.

أَوَّلًا سَأُكْمِلُ دِرَاسَتِي، ثُمَّ سَأَتَدَرَّبُ.

The corrected sentence completes the required structure.

رَأْيٌ بِلَا دَلِيلٍ.

أُحِبُّ الهَنْدَسَةَ. هٰذَا المَجَالُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ العِلْمِ وَالإِبْدَاعِ.
