Progression P5 — Social Issues and Opinions
Write the programme's most demanding text: a 150-165 word argumentative essay carrying all nine P5 Range markers — reported speech, both conditionals, subjunctive triggers, concession (صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ), refutation (غَيْرَ أَنَّ) and a conclusion connector.

تَرْكِيبُ المَقَالِ الحِجَاجِيِّ الكَامِلِ
A synthesis: thesis and evidence, then a concession (صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ) answered by a refutation (غَيْرَ أَنَّ), both conditionals, a subjunctive trigger, and a formal conclusion.

Thesis + reported speech.
Concession-refutation pair.
Conclusion + subjunctive.
يُشَارُ إِلَى أَنَّ · أَكَّدَ … أَنَّ
State a position and support it with cited evidence.
صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ + مُثْبَتٌ · غَيْرَ أَنَّ
Concede a real point, then answer it.
إِذَا … سَـ · لَوْ … لَـ
Recommend with a Type 1, reflect with a Type 2.
وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ + أَنْ + مَنْصُوبٌ
Synthesise and propose with a subjunctive.
| Paragraph | Argument role | Range markers |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | thesis | reported speech |
| P2 | evidence | conditional + subjunctive trigger |
| P3 | concession + refutation | صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ … غَيْرَ أَنَّ + Type 2 |
| P4 | conclusion | وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ + subjunctive |
A P5 essay is marked twice over: Task Completion rewards the argument architecture — thesis, evidence, concession, refutation, conclusion — while Range rewards nine distinct grammar markers spread across it. Plan both at once: label where each paragraph's argument role AND each Range marker will sit before you write.
Students reliably reach the concession but forget to close formally. End every essay with وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ + a necessity subjunctive: وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ، يَتَطَلَّبُ التَّقَدُّمُ أَنْ تَسْتَثْمِرَ الحُكُومَاتُ فِي الإِنْسَانِ. This single sentence carries a Range marker and an Accuracy marker together.
Grammar laboratory
Every answer checks a stated rule, change or agreement decision.
Build · transform · justify
The guided builder develops flexible sentence construction. The three independent tasks then test different skills: grammatical transformation, meaning and coherence, and original sentence production.
Combinatorial builder studio
This guided builder accepts 27 accurate combinations. Build 3 different sentences, changing one meaningful chunk each time. Compare the grammar and meaning before moving to the independent tasks.
اِخْتَرْ جُزْءًا مِنْ كُلِّ قَائِمَةٍ.
0/3 different sentences built.
Each thesis, concession-refutation pair and conclusion is accurate on its own, so any three different combinations work.
Fix the concession verb
Repair the verb after صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ — the concession is real, so it is indicative.صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ الاِنْدِمَاجَ يَسْتَغْرِقَ وَقْتًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّ العَائِدَ أَكْبَرُ.
صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ + مُثْبَتٌAfter صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ the verb is indicative: يَسْتَغْرِقُ.
Add the refutation
Answer the concession with a refutation connector.صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ التِّقْنِيَّةَ تُوَفِّرُ فُرَصًا، وَالفَجْوَةُ الرَّقْمِيَّةُ قَائِمَةٌ.
رَدٌّ ← غَيْرَ أَنَّA concession is answered by a refutation connector: غَيْرَ أَنَّ.
Fix the conclusion
Replace the weak conclusion with a formal connector + subjunctive.وَأَخِيرًا، يَجِبُ الاِسْتِثْمَارُ فِي الإِنْسَانِ.
خَاتِمَةٌ ← وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ + مَنْصُوبٌClose with وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ + a subjunctive trigger.

Strong learners do not only recognise an error: they identify the system and repair it.

صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ الاِنْدِمَاجَ يَسْتَغْرِقُ وَقْتًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّ العَائِدَ أَكْبَرُ.
After صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ the verb is indicative: يَسْتَغْرِقُ.
صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ الاِنْدِمَاجَ يَسْتَغْرِقُ وَقْتًا، وَالعَائِدُ أَكْبَرُ.
صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ الاِنْدِمَاجَ يَسْتَغْرِقُ وَقْتًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّ العَائِدَ أَكْبَرُ.
A concession must be answered by a refutation connector (غَيْرَ أَنَّ).
وَأَخِيرًا، يَجِبُ الاِسْتِثْمَارُ فِي الإِنْسَانِ.
وَبِنَاءً عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ، يَتَطَلَّبُ التَّقَدُّمُ أَنْ تَسْتَثْمِرَ الحُكُومَاتُ فِي الإِنْسَانِ.
The conclusion should use a formal connector and a subjunctive trigger, not a weak opener.
