إِعْلَانٌ فِي مَدْرَسَةٍ: رِحْلَةُ العِلْمِ إِلَى المَتْحَفِ سَتَكُونُ يَوْمَ الخَمِيسِ. تَنْطَلِقُ الحَافِلَةُ فِي الثَّامِنَةِ صَبَاحًا مِنْ أَمَامِ المَدْرَسَةِ. عَلَى الطُّلَّابِ إِحْضَارُ الغَدَاءِ وَالمَاءِ. ثَمَنُ التَّذْكِرَةِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ رِيَالًا.

Mock — Paper 2 Reading

يَكْتُبُ سَامِرٌ فِي مُدَوَّنَتِهِ: بَدَأْتُ أُمَارِسُ الجَرْيَ مُنْذُ شَهْرَيْنِ. فِي البِدَايَةِ كَانَ صَعْبًا، لَكِنِّي وَاظَبْتُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ. الآنَ أَشْعُرُ بِطَاقَةٍ أَكْبَرَ وَأَنَامُ بِشَكْلٍ أَفْضَلَ. أَنْصَحُ أَصْدِقَائِي بِأَنْ يَبْدَأُوا بِخُطَوَاتٍ صَغِيرَةٍ.

أَتَذَكَّرُ يَوْمَ تَخَرُّجِ أَخِي؛ كَانَ يَوْمًا سَعِيدًا لِأَنَّ العَائِلَةَ اجْتَمَعَتْ. بَعْدَ الاِمْتِحَانَاتِ سَأَرْتَاحُ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ أَبْدَأُ دَوْرَةً فِي البَرْمَجَةِ لِأَنِّي أُحِبُّ التِّكْنُولُوجْيَا.

أَدْرُسُ فِي مَدْرَسَةٍ ثَانَوِيَّةٍ، وَيَوْمِي مُنَظَّمٌ. أَسْتَيْقِظُ مُبَكِّرًا وَأَذْهَبُ بِالحَافِلَةِ، وَأُحِبُّ مَادَّةَ العُلُومِ لِأَنَّهَا مُمْتِعَةٌ وَمُفِيدَةٌ. فِي العَامِ المَاضِي حَصَلْتُ عَلَى دَرَجَاتٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لِأَنِّي وَاظَبْتُ عَلَى المُذَاكَرَةِ. أَمَّا فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ فَسَأَلْتَحِقُ بِالجَامِعَةِ لِأَدْرُسَ الطِّبَّ، لِأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُسَاعِدَ النَّاسَ. أَعْرِفُ أَنَّ الطَّرِيقَ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى اجْتِهَادٍ، لَكِنِّي وَاثِقٌ. فِي الخِتَامِ، أَنَا سَعِيدٌ بِمَدْرَسَتِي وَمُتَفَائِلٌ بِمُسْتَقْبَلِي.
