المُعَلِّمُ: تَحَدَّثْ عَنْ أَهَمِّيَّةِ التَّعْلِيمِ. الطَّالِبُ: بِالنِّسْبَةِ لِي، التَّعْلِيمُ مِفْتَاحُ المُسْتَقْبَلِ لِأَنَّهُ يَفْتَحُ الأَبْوَابَ. عَلَى سَبِيلِ المِثَالِ، دَرَسْتُ بِجِدٍّ العَامَ المَاضِيَ وَنَجَحْتُ. مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى، التَّعْلِيمُ لَيْسَ سَهْلًا، لَكِنَّهُ يَسْتَحِقُّ الجُهْدَ. فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ سَأَلْتَحِقُ بِالجَامِعَةِ.
