- Discuss the following question with your classmates or write your response individually:
- هل تحبُّ أن تسافرَ إلى مدينة جديدة كيف ستسافر؟ ولماذا؟
- Give a short presentation in Arabic describing your favorite mode of transportation. In 4–5 sentences, talk about:
- What it is and where you use it.
- Why you like it.
- Pros and cons of using it.
- When and how often you use it.
Use the vocabulary from this unit and phrases for giving opinions. Example: أُفَضِّل الطائرة لأنها سريعة، ولكنها غالية أحيانًا. أستخدمها في السفر إلى بلدان بعيدة.
- Imagine you are designing a new public transportation system for your city. Answer the following questions:
