يَقُولُ عَادِلٌ: أَنَا مِنْ سُورِيَا، وَجِنْسِيَّتِي سُورِيَّةٌ، وَلُغَتِي الأُمُّ هِيَ العَرَبِيَّةُ. أَتَحَدَّثُ أَيْضًا الإِنْجِلِيزِيَّةَ قَلِيلًا. أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَتَعَرَّفَ عَلَى دُوَلٍ أُخْرَى وَثَقَافَاتِهَا. صَدِيقِي مِنْ فَرَنْسَا وَعَاصِمَةُ بَلَدِهِ بَارِيسُ.

Paper 2 — Reading

يَتَكَوَّنُ العَالَمُ مِنْ دُوَلٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لِكُلٍّ مِنْهَا لُغَتُهَا وَثَقَافَتُهَا وَعَادَاتُهَا. هَذَا التَّنَوُّعُ جَمِيلٌ لِأَنَّهُ يُعَلِّمُنَا الِاحْتِرَامَ وَالتَّسَامُحَ. وَعِنْدَمَا نَتَعَلَّمُ لُغَاتٍ أُخْرَى، نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَتَوَاصَلَ مَعَ النَّاسِ وَنَفْهَمَ ثَقَافَاتِهِمْ بِشَكْلٍ أَفْضَلَ.
