Do it every time

Strategy for this group

1Key word + context

Find the key word, then confirm it fits the whole notice — not just one word.

2Know the public words

Recognise everyday signs.

مَمْنُوعُ التَّدْخِينِ · مَفْتُوحٌ · مُغْلَقٌ · الطَّوَارِئُ

3Read it all

Short does not mean skim — read the whole sign before choosing.

Four short public notices

١) لَافِتَةٌ: مَمْنُوعُ التَّدْخِينِ دَاخِلَ المُسْتَشْفَى. ٢) إِعْلَانٌ: تَخْفِيضَاتُ نِهَايَةِ المَوْسِمِ حَتَّى خَمْسِينَ بِالمِئَةِ عَلَى المَلَابِسِ الشِّتَوِيَّةِ. ٣) تَعْلِيمَاتٌ: يُرْجَى إِطْفَاءُ الهَوَاتِفِ أَثْنَاءَ العَرْضِ. ٤) لَافِتَةٌ: المَخْرَجُ فِي حَالَةِ الطَّوَارِئِ مِنْ هٰذَا البَابِ.
