 ‫كيف أراج ُع لالمتحانات‬ \ How to revise for exams
A- Do you know if it's too late to start revising now?

‫هل تعلم إذا كان الوقت متأخراً للبدء بالمراجع ِة اآلن؟‬

-No, it's never too late to start revising! The first thing I would do is to draw up a
revision timetable.

- ‫ ليس الوقت متأخراً للبدء بالمراجعة! الشيء األول الذي سأفعل ُه هو وضع برنامج للمراجعة‬,‫كال‬.

B-Do you mind telling me how I should draw up a timetable?

‫هل تمانع بإخباري كيف يمكن عمل برنامج للمراجعة؟‬

- Look at all the subjects you have to do, and work out when you are going to
work on each one. It's a good idea to change the order of the subjects in your
timetable for each day.

- ‫ و أحسب متى ستقو ُم بمراجع ِة كل ماد ٍة على حدى! إنها فكرة جيدة‬,‫فكر في كل المواد التي سوف تقو ُم بمراجعتها‬
‫لتغيير ترتيب المواد في جدولك في كل مرة‬.

Try doing a little English, followed by some Maths then Biology, and so on. This
way by changing the focus of your revision, you keep mind fresh.

-‫التي‬- ‫ و بهذه الطريقة‬.‫ و هكذا‬,‫حاول دراسة القليل من اللغة اإلنجليزية و من ثم أتبعها ببعض الرياضيات و األحياء‬
ً ‫ تحافظ على تفكيرك نشطا‬-‫تغير تركيز مراجعتك‬.

C-Do you know whether it's best to get up early, or to revise late at night?

‫هل تعلم إذا ما كان من األفضل اإلستيقاظ باكراً أو المراجعة بشكل متأخر ليالً؟‬

-The earlier you start in the morning, the more beneficial your revision will be,
because that's when you feel most awake and your memory is at its best. I'd
also recommend studying for 30-minute periods, and then taking a break. It's
been proved that concentration starts to decrease after half an hour, so frequent
breaks will help the brain to recover and concentration to return.

Learning a foreign Language

‫تعلم لغة أجنبية‬
"Speaking a foreign language, it is claimed, improves the functionality of your brain in
several different ways. Learning new vocabulary and grammar rules provides the brain
with beneficial 'exercise', which improves memory. As well as exercising the brain, it is
thought that learning a new language also presents the brain with unique challenges.

‫إعداد األستاذ نضال عميرة‬

 ‫ و إن تعلم مفردات جديدة و قوانين‬.‫بطرق مختلفة متعددة‬ٍ ‫ يحسنُ من وظيفة الدماغ‬, ‫ كما يُدعى‬, ‫"إن التحدث بلغة أجنبية‬
‫ فإنه يعتق ُد أن تعلم لغة جديدة‬, ‫ و باإلضافة إلى تدريب الدماغ‬. ‫قواعدية يزو ُد الدماغ برياض ٍة مفيدة والتي تحسنُ الذاكرة‬
.‫ت فريدة‬ ٍ ‫يعرض الدماغ لتحديا‬
ُ ً ‫أيضا‬

These include recognizing different language systems and ways to communicate within
these systems. These skills improve your chances of success in other problem-solving tasks
as well. It is said that students who study foreign languages do better, on the whole, in
general tests in maths, reading, and vocabulary than students who have only mastered
their mother tongue.

‫ هذه المهارات تحسنُ من فرص َك‬.‫و هذه التحديات تشمل إدراك أنظمة لغوية مختلفة و طرقا ً للتواصل ضمن هذه األنظمة‬

ٍ ‫أفضل في إمتحانات عامة في الرياضيات والقراءة والمفردات من طال‬
According to a study carried out by Pennsylvania State University, USA, multilingual
people are able to switch between two systems of speech, writing, and structure quite
easily. It has been proved that they are also able to switch easily between completely
different tasks.

‫نظامين من الخطابة و‬
ِ ‫التنقل بين‬
ِ ‫ " إن متعددو اللغات قادرين على‬: ‫و بنا ًء على دراسة قامت بها جامعةُ والية بنسلفانيا‬
.ً‫مهام مختلف ٍة تماما‬
ٍ ‫ و لقد أثبتَ أنهم أيضا ً قادرين على التنقل و بسهول ٍة بين‬.ً‫الكتاب ِة و البناء اللغوي بسهول ٍة تماما‬

One experiment required participants to operate a driving simulator while carrying out
separate tasks at the same time. The experiment showed that multilingual participants
were less distracted by the other tasks and therefore made fewer driving errors.

.‫ت منفصلة بنفس الوقت‬ ٍ ‫إحدى التجارب طلبت من المشاركين أن يشغلوا محاكي لقيادة السيارات خالل تنفيذها مهما‬
.‫التجربة أظهرت أن المشاركين المتعددي اللغات كانوا أقل تشتتا ً بأداء المهمات األخرى و بالتالي ارتكبوا أخطاء أقل‬

It is believed that language learning can also improve your decision-making skills.
When you speak a foreign language, you are constantly weighing up subtle differences in
the meaning of a word or the way that an utterance is made. This process is then
transferred subconsciously to other situations in which judgment is called for, and
decisions have to be made.

.‫التي من خاللها يتم إصدار الحكم فيها و تصد ُر القرارات حولها‬

Finally, learning a foreign language can also improve your ability to use your mother
tongue more effectively. As you become more aware of the way that a language works, you
begin to apply it to the language that you use every day. The skills you obtain from
learning a foreign language, therefore, can make you a better speaker and writer in your
own language.

 Education in Jordan
‫التعليم في األردن‬
Our country has a high standard of education. This is mainly due to the fact
that the government considers education a necessity. All schools, from
kindergarten to secondary, are the responsibility of the Ministry of Education
(MOE). Preschool and kindergarten education is optional, followed by ten
years of free, compulsory education. For higher education, students enter
university, either for academic or vocational courses.

.‫ فالطالب يدخلون الجامعة إما للفرع األكاديمي أو المهني‬, ‫بالنسبة للتعليم العالي‬

Students can attend a public university or private university. A large

number of Jordanian students choose to study at these institutions, as well as
foreign students from all over the world. These are undergraduates studying
for a first degree, or postgraduates studying for a Master's degree, a PhD or a
higher diploma.

The three universities with the most undergraduates are the University of
Jordan in Amman, Yarmouk University in Irbid and Al Balqa Applied
University in Salt. These are all public universities. An example of a newer
university is the German – Jordanian University in Amman, which was set up
in 2005 CE. It is collaboration between the MOHE and Germany's Federal
Ministry of Education and Research, and it follows Germany's model of
education in Applied Sciences.
