تَقُولُ هَنَاءُ: أَعِيشُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِي فِي شَقَّةٍ فِي حَيٍّ هَادِئٍ. أَسْتَيْقِظُ مُبَكِّرًا وَأَتَنَاوَلُ فُطُورًا صِحِّيًّا، ثُمَّ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى المَدْرَسَةِ بِالحَافِلَةِ. بَعْدَ الدُّرُوسِ أُمَارِسُ السِّبَاحَةَ فِي النَّادِي لِأَنَّهَا تُقَوِّي الجِسْمَ. فِي المَسَاءِ أُسَاعِدُ أُمِّي فِي الطَّبْخِ ثُمَّ أُذَاكِرُ.

Paper 2 — Reading

يَخْتَلِفُ يَوْمُ العُطْلَةِ عَنْ يَوْمِ الدِّرَاسَةِ. فِي أَيَّامِ الدِّرَاسَةِ يَسْتَيْقِظُ سَلِيمٌ مُبَكِّرًا وَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى المَدْرَسَةِ بِالحَافِلَةِ، وَيَأْكُلُ بِسُرْعَةٍ. أَمَّا فِي العُطْلَةِ فَيَنَامُ مُتَأَخِّرًا قَلِيلًا، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ إِلَى الحَدِيقَةِ. هُنَاكَ يَلْعَبُ كُرَةَ القَدَمِ مَعَ أَخِيهِ وَيَأْكُلُونَ طَعَامًا صِحِّيًّا مَعًا. يَقُولُ سَلِيمٌ إِنَّ العُطْلَةَ فُرْصَةٌ لِلرَّاحَةِ وَقَضَاءِ الوَقْتِ مَعَ الأَهْلِ.
