Listening script

يَقُولُ سَمِيرٌ: أَعِيشُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ قُرْبَ البَحْرِ. فِي الصَّيْفِ يَكُونُ الطَّقْسُ حَارًّا وَمُشْمِسًا، فَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى الشَّاطِئِ. أَمَّا فِي الشِّتَاءِ فَيَكُونُ الجَوُّ بَارِدًا وَمُمْطِرًا. أُحِبُّ حَيِّي لِأَنَّهُ هَادِئٌ وَفِيهِ حَدِيقَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَمَكْتَبَةٌ.

Paper 2 — Reading

يَخْتَلِفُ الطَّقْسُ بَيْنَ الفُصُولِ الأَرْبَعَةِ. فِي الرَّبِيعِ يَعْتَدِلُ الجَوُّ وَتَتَفَتَّحُ الأَزْهَارُ. فِي الصَّيْفِ تَرْتَفِعُ الحَرَارَةُ. فِي الخَرِيفِ تَسْقُطُ أَوْرَاقُ الأَشْجَارِ. وَفِي الشِّتَاءِ يَبْرُدُ الجَوُّ وَيَنْزِلُ المَطَرُ أَوِ الثَّلْجُ. لِكُلِّ فَصْلٍ جَمَالُهُ.
