تَقُولُ المُعَلِّمَةُ: قَبْلَ الكِتَابَةِ، خُذْ دَقِيقَةً لِتَكْتُبَ نِقَاطَ المُهِمَّةِ عَلَى الجَانِبِ. اكْتُبْ فِقْرَةً مُنَظَّمَةً بِمُقَدِّمَةٍ وَعَرْضٍ وَخَاتِمَةٍ، وَنَوِّعِ الرَّوَابِطَ. وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ، خُذْ دَقِيقَةً لِمُرَاجَعَةِ التَّطَابُقِ وَالإِمْلَاءِ.

الكِتَابَةُ الجَيِّدَةُ لَيْسَتِ الأَطْوَلَ، بَلِ الأَكْمَلَ وَالأَدَقَّ. غَطِّ كُلَّ نُقْطَةٍ فِي المُهِمَّةِ، وَاسْتَخْدِمْ زَمَنَيْنِ عَلَى الأَقَلِّ وَرَوَابِطَ مُتَنَوِّعَةً. ثُمَّ رَاجِعْ عَمَلَكَ: هَلِ الصِّفَاتُ تُطَابِقُ أَسْمَاءَهَا؟ هَلِ الأَفْعَالُ فِي زَمَنِهَا الصَّحِيحِ؟

أُخَطِّطُ لِلنِّقَاطِ أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ أَكْتُبُ بِتَرْكِيزٍ. أَسْتَخْدِمُ زَمَنَيْنِ وَرَوَابِطَ مُتَنَوِّعَةً، وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ أُرَاجِعُ التَّطَابُقَ وَالإِمْلَاءَ لِأَنَّ المُرَاجَعَةَ تُمْسِكُ أَكْثَرَ الأَخْطَاءِ.

أَدْرُسُ فِي مَدْرَسَةٍ ثَانَوِيَّةٍ قَرِيبَةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِي، وَيَوْمِي مُنَظَّمٌ. أُحِبُّ مَادَّةَ العُلُومِ لِأَنَّهَا مُمْتِعَةٌ وَمُفِيدَةٌ، وَأُذَاكِرُ كُلَّ مَسَاءٍ. فِي العَامِ المَاضِي حَصَلْتُ عَلَى دَرَجَاتٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لِأَنِّي وَاظَبْتُ عَلَى المُرَاجَعَةِ. أَمَّا فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ فَسَأَلْتَحِقُ بِالجَامِعَةِ لِأَدْرُسَ الهَنْدَسَةَ، لِأَنِّي أُحِبُّ الرِّيَاضِيَّاتِ وَحَلَّ المَشَاكِلِ. أَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّ التَّخْطِيطَ وَالاِجْتِهَادَ يَقُودَانِ إِلَى النَّجَاحِ. سَأُرَاجِعُ كُلَّ صِفَةٍ وَكُلَّ فِعْلٍ قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ.
