يَقُولُ المُعَلِّمُ: الإِجَابَةُ القَوِيَّةُ فِي التَّحَدُّثِ لَا تَكْتَفِي بِكَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. طَوِّرْ فِكْرَتَكَ بِسَبَبٍ وَرَأْيٍ وَمِثَالٍ. اسْتَخْدِمْ زَمَنَيْنِ عَلَى الأَقَلِّ: المَاضِيَ وَالمُسْتَقْبَلَ. وَاربِطْ جُمَلَكَ بِرَوَابِطَ مِثْلَ لِأَنَّ وَلَكِنْ وَثُمَّ.

Paper 2 — Reading

الكِتَابَةُ الجَيِّدَةُ لَهَا بِنَاءٌ وَاضِحٌ: مُقَدِّمَةٌ تُعَرِّفُ بِالمَوْضُوعِ، ثُمَّ فِقْرَاتٌ فِيهَا تَفَاصِيلُ وَأَسْبَابٌ، ثُمَّ خَاتِمَةٌ تُلَخِّصُ الرَّأْيَ. وَمِنَ المُهِمِّ اسْتِخْدَامُ رَوَابِطَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ وَزَمَنَيْنِ عَلَى الأَقَلِّ، مَعَ الانْتِبَاهِ إِلَى التَّطَابُقِ بَيْنَ الِاسْمِ وَالصِّفَةِ.

اسْمِي سَلْمَى وَعُمْرِي خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ عَامًا، وَأَعِيشُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِي فِي شَقَّةٍ فِي حَيٍّ هَادِئٍ. أَسْتَيْقِظُ مُبَكِّرًا وَأَتَنَاوَلُ فُطُورًا صِحِّيًّا لِأَنَّهُ يُعْطِينِي طَاقَةً، ثُمَّ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى المَدْرَسَةِ بِالحَافِلَةِ. أُحِبُّ عَائِلَتِي كَثِيرًا لِأَنَّهَا مُتَعَاوِنَةٌ. فِي العُطْلَةِ المَاضِيَةِ زُرْتُ جَدَّتِي وَلَعِبْتُ مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ خَالَتِي. أَمَّا فِي العُطْلَةِ القَادِمَةِ فَسَأُسَافِرُ إِلَى المَدِينَةِ لِأَتَسَوَّقَ مَعَ أُمِّي. فِي الخِتَامِ، أَنَا سَعِيدَةٌ بِحَيَاتِي.
