تَقُولُ دِينَا: فِي العُطْلَةِ المَاضِيَةِ سَافَرْتُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِي إِلَى تُرْكِيَا بِالطَّائِرَةِ. أَقَمْنَا فِي فُنْدُقٍ جَمِيلٍ قُرْبَ الشَّاطِئِ. زُرْنَا أَمَاكِنَ تَارِيخِيَّةً كَثِيرَةً وَتَذَوَّقْنَا أَطْعِمَةً لَذِيذَةً. كَانَتْ رِحْلَةً رَائِعَةً، وَأَتَمَنَّى أَنْ أُعِيدَهَا.

Paper 2 — Reading

السَّفَرُ يَفْتَحُ العَقْلَ عَلَى العَالَمِ. فَحِينَ نُسَافِرُ نَتَعَرَّفُ عَلَى ثَقَافَاتٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، وَنُجَرِّبُ أَطْعِمَةً مُخْتَلِفَةً، وَنَتَعَلَّمُ كَلِمَاتٍ بِلُغَاتٍ أُخْرَى. كَمَا أَنَّ السَّفَرَ يُرِيحُ النَّفْسَ بَعْدَ التَّعَبِ. لَكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ نُخَطِّطَ جَيِّدًا وَنَحْتَرِمَ عَادَاتِ البِلَادِ الَّتِي نَزُورُهَا.
