يَتَسَامَحُ المُجْتَمَعُ مَعَ الاخْتِلَافِ

What to notice

مَعَ is fixed with يَتَسَامَحُ.

تُنَوِّعُ المَهْرَجَانَاتُ الحَيَاةَ الثَّقَافِيَّةَ

What to notice

يُنَوِّعُ takes a direct accusative object.

يُشَارُ إِلَى أَنَّ التَّنَوُّعَ قَدِيمٌ

What to notice

An impersonal passive; the noun after أَنَّ is accusative.

يَتَسَامَحُ مَعَ

يَتَسَامَحُ مَعَ + genitive

Form VI, describing a reciprocal or mutual attitude. The preposition مَعَ is fixed.

يَتَسَامَحُ المُجْتَمَعُ مَعَ الاخْتِلَافِتَتَسَامَحُ الطَّوَائِفُ مَعَ بَعْضِهَا

يُنَوِّعُ with a direct object

تُنَوِّعُ المَهْرَجَانَاتُ الحَيَاةَ الثَّقَافِيَّةَيُنَوِّعُ التُّرَاثُ المَشْهَدَ الفَنِّيَّ

Past tense for a festival you attended

حَضَرْتُ / شَاهَدْنَا / اسْتَمْتَعْنَا بِـ

Use the past for your own attendance, and keep the objects accusative.

Building a balanced paragraph

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ … وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى … عِلَاوَةً عَلَى ذٰلِكَ …

Two balanced sides plus an added point. يُشَارُ إِلَى أَنَّ introduces a fact impersonally.

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ تَتَنَوَّعُ الأَعْيَادُ، وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَيُشَارُ إِلَى أَنَّ التَّنَوُّعَ قَدِيمٌ فِي المِنْطَقَةِ

Word	Meaning	Note
كَنِيسَةٌ	church	plural كَنَائِسُ, a diptote
كَنِيسٌ يَهُودِيٌّ	synagogue	two words, both masculine
مَعْبَدٌ	temple, place of worship	plural مَعَابِدُ
قُدَّاسٌ	mass, liturgy	not to be confused with قِدِّيسٌ

The Arab world is not religiously uniform

Alongside Muslim majorities there are long-established Christian communities in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Palestine, and Jewish communities in several countries, notably Morocco and Tunisia. Naming places of worship precisely — كَنِيسَةٌ، مَعْبَدٌ، كَنِيسٌ يَهُودِيٌّ — is part of describing the region accurately.

A balanced paragraph needs both halves

مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ opens one side, وَمِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى opens the other, and عِلَاوَةً عَلَى ذٰلِكَ adds a further point. Examiners reward this structure because it shows you can hold two ideas at once.

يَتَسَامَحُ المُجْتَمَعُ مَعَ الاخْتِلَافِ.

يَتَسَامَحُ requires مَعَ.

ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى الكَنِيسَةِ لِحُضُورِ القُدَّاسِ.

The mass is held in a church; كَنِيسٌ يَهُودِيٌّ is a synagogue.

كُلُّ سُكَّانِ المِنْطَقَةِ يَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالأَعْيَادِ نَفْسِهَا.

تَخْتَلِفُ الأَعْيَادُ بِاخْتِلَافِ الطَّوَائِفِ وَالبُلْدَانِ.

The region is multi-faith, so a claim that everyone celebrates the same festivals is inaccurate.
