Four skills practice

Short tasks for listening, reading, speaking and writing. Choose the skill you find hardest.

🎧 Listening

🎧 Audio coming soon

Listen for distractors. Two options will sound close to the right answer. Say each item aloud so you can hear the difference. Until the audio is ready, prepare by covering the English, reading each item below aloud twice, then saying the meaning from memory.

  1. الاِمتِحان النِّهائي لِمَرحَلة التَّطَوُّر end-of-stage assessment
  2. إِظهار التَّقَدُّم demonstrating progress
  3. الاِستِعداد لِمَرحَلة التَّقَدُّم readiness for the Progression stage

Exam link: in Paper 1 you hear each recording twice — use the first listening for the general idea and the second for detail.

📖 Reading

Scan the four items below and write the English meaning of each one without looking back at the Key language section. Then write one sentence in Arabic about countries, cultures and celebrations that uses two of them.

  • الاِمتِحان النِّهائي لِمَرحَلة التَّطَوُّر
  • إِظهار التَّقَدُّم
  • الاِستِعداد لِمَرحَلة التَّقَدُّم

  • الاِمتِحان النِّهائي لِمَرحَلة التَّطَوُّر — end-of-stage assessment
  • إِظهار التَّقَدُّم — demonstrating progress
  • الاِستِعداد لِمَرحَلة التَّقَدُّم — readiness for the Progression stage

🗣️ Speaking

Answer aloud in full Arabic sentences. Record yourself if you can, then listen back for clear pronunciation.

  1. Talk about countries, cultures and celebrations for thirty seconds without stopping.
  2. Answer as if an examiner had asked you the question in a topic conversation.
  3. Ask a partner one question on this topic — then answer it yourself.

Exam link: Paper 3 is a role play and two topic conversations, with ten minutes of supervised preparation beforehand.

✍️ Writing

Task: End-of-unit writing on countries, cultures and celebrations. Write 80–100 words showing the best Arabic you have used across this unit — more than one time frame, an opinion with a reason, and accurate agreement.
