Reading Lesson 1

A
I was in Grade 7 last year and I really enjoyed(1)
it. From my experiences I have some suggestions
to help you learn. When you read a text, it is useful
to underline new words or highlight(2) them. I find
it easy to remember the meaning(3) of the words,
but I sometimes find it difficult to remember how to
spell them. I read online that you can remind yourself of tricky(4) spelling words
by linking(5) them to other words. For example, I always forget the difference
between desert and dessert. I tell myself that dessert has two ‘s’ letters, so it
reminds(6) of sweet strawberry(7) desserts! Sweet strawberry begins with two
‘s’ letters like the word dessert, which is a sweet food we eat. Desert has only
one ‘s’ so it is a piece of land, not a kind of food!
Amr, 14
B
Hi Amr!
Thank you for your post, it was very interesting.
I’m not really worried about learning new
words, or spelling(8) as this is something I am
good at. However, the idea of underlining or
highlighting new words is very useful so I will try
that this year. What makes me nervous is when
I have to give a presentation(9) in class.
Can you give me any suggestions about that? What is a good way(10) to
practice a presentation? Also, my mom says it is good to take a break when
you are tired. What do you think? What did you do in Grade 7 when you
needed a break?

Reading Skills
Using collocations ‫استخدام المتالزمات اللفظية‬

Collocations are two or three words that you use together to make
a phrase, for example, take a break. When you use these words together,
they have a new meaning that they didn’t have before. It is useful to learn
collocations because they help you to use words in sentences correctly.

Reading
Studying and the environment
Lesson 2

When we are learning, it is important to

think about(1) the environment. Everyone knows
how important it is to protect(2) our planet. Here are
some simple tips(3) to make your learning more
eco-friendly. The nice thing is that these ideas are
easy to do.
1. What you use when you study
First, try to use less paper. Why don’t you use a computer or tablet to
make notes or to read books? This way, you save paper(4) and help the
environment(5). I know these devices(6) are quite new. What did people
do in the past? People couldn’t use a computer because they didn’t
exist(7), but today we have a choice. Another thing that is important to
think about is what to do when you want to print(8) something. One idea is
to print on both sides of the paper to reduce waste(9).
(1) ‫يفكر في‬ (2) ‫يحمي‬ (3) ‫ نصائح‬/ ‫إرشادات‬ (4) ‫يوفر الورق‬ (5) ‫بيئة‬
(6) ‫أجهزة‬ (7) ‫يوجد‬ (8) ‫يطبع‬ (9) ‫ أهدار‬/ ‫تقلل النفايات‬

 Lessons (1 & 2)
2. When you study
When do you usually study? A lot of students study in the evening when it
gets dark. But ask yourself this question: How did people study before
there were electric lights(10)? You can save energy while studying. Turn
off lights and devices when you are not using them. Try to study during the
day(11) so you can use natural sunlight. This will help you use less electricity.
3. Saving paper
Next, ask yourself the following: What materials(12) do I use when I
study? Pick up a pen and look at it. Is it made from(13) plastic? The answer
is probably: yes. Nowadays you can buy pens made from recycled(14)
materials and notebooks that use recycled paper.
4. Traveling to school
Finally, how do you get to school? Why not walk, cycle, or take public
transportation(15) to school, to help reduce pollution?

Reading Lesson 3

The truth about the brain

Many people think that when we learn, our

brains make new brain cells. But actually(1), we

create new connections between brain cells we

already have. In fact, one brain cell (2) can connect(3) with up to 10,000 others.

In the past, people believed the brain “turned off” when we went to sleep.

But with new technology, we now know that some parts of the brain stay

active(4) during sleep. Sleep is very important for learning because it helps us

remember things better. In fact, people who get enough sleep can remember

about 20% more than those who do not.

For young people, research shows that learning feels more interesting

if they know how it can help them in real life. About 85% of students say they

learn better when they understand why a topic(5) is useful. So, it’s important

for teachers to explain(6) why lessons are helpful.

Finally, our brains have a habit(7) of telling us that things we agree with

are “facts”. When we disagree with something, we see it as an opinion(8). This

happens naturally(9), but it’s helpful to remember that just because we agree

or disagree with something doesn’t mean(10) we are right.

An afternoon with my grandmother
Lesson 5

Date: October 22, 2024

Today, I spent the afternoon with my
grandmother who is from Senegal. She
showed me how to make a necklace(1) from
different colored beads(2). The beads were
very small and I kept dropping them which
was annoying(3)! I wanted to give up but my
grandmother encouraged(4) me to keep going, saying, “It takes time to
make something very beautiful.” Her words made me think about how I
always want quick results and don’ t spend enough time trying to learn
something new. As I continued, I found a rhythm(5), and I started to really
enjoy myself. My grandmother shared stories about how she learned this
craft from her mother. She explained that each color bead has a different
meaning in Senegalese culture. For example, red represents(6) strength
and courage; blue means peace; yellow is for money, and green is for
hope or nature. Now, I appreciate my culture. Making the necklace helped
me to connect with the traditions(7) of the women in my family. In the end,
my necklace wasn’t perfect, but I felt proud(8). I learned that handicrafts
represent our connection to tradition, culture, and our values. This
experience taught me patience(9), the importance of practice, and the
meaning behind what we make.
Action Plan: Next time I will focus on(10) staying patient and asking my
grandmother more about the meanings behind the beads. I want to enjoy
the process and continue connecting with African culture and traditions.

dad was teaching me how to ride a bike. I was
a bit nervous at first, but I really wanted to learn.
I kept saying, “I want to ride like all my friends!”
2 At the start , my dad held the back of the bike so I wouldn’t fall. I tried
to pedal , but I almost fell a few times. I was scared but didn’t give up.
My dad kept telling me, “ It’s okay. Keep trying.”
3 After a while, my dad let go of the bike for a few seconds, and I rode
a little by myself! I was so happy, and I was proud of myself. I fell once,
but I got back up and tried again.
4 In the end, I could ride for a few seconds without my dad’s help. I think
I learned that if you keep trying, you can do anything! Today was fun,
and I was really happy to learn how to ride my bike.

 4 Read the following text, then answer the questions.
Today, I spent the afternoon with Donia. Donia is my older sister who
loves sport. So today, she was teaching me how to play table tennis. I was
really excited because it looks fun and I wanted to learn. First.
Donia showed me how to hold the bat in my right hand. Then, she showed
me how to throw the ball into the air with my left hand and hit it with my bat.
At first, I couldn’t hit the ball. If I hit the ball, it went into the net. I was really
upset but Donia told me to keep trying. She was very kind and she didn’t
get angry. She kept showing me what to do.
After a while, I actually hit the ball over the net! I was so pleased!
I practiced again and I got better. Then Donia said, “OK, I’ll hit the ball to
you and now you hit it back to me.” After a while, we were hitting the ball to
each other. I missed the ball sometimes but it was fine. In the end, I could
play a game. Donia won the game of course but that didn’t matter. Today
was a great day.
