Exam connection: Listening: travel/tourism/transport texts, both conditional types and reported speech in speech (Paper 1 all formats, including Paper 2 Q4 conditional tense gap-fill) | Reading: sustainable tourism, hotel review, cultural guide (Paper 2 R1–R4, Q4 gap-fill conditional precision, Q5 cross-text) | Writing: travel article — Paper 4 Q3 asks for about 130–140 words (stretch: extend to 160) | Speaking: travel agency role play + two topic conversations. Useful structures here include both conditional types.

Grammar
Read the rule, notice the pattern and then produce your own examples.
Core rule / strategy
Full P3 grammar review: advanced transport vocabulary (يصل بين/يستغرق/يقطع مسافة), 2028 verbs يحجُز/يُقيم in full tense range, past perfect in holiday narrative (four-layer structure), reported speech in travel context, both conditional types for recommendations (Type 1) and regrets (Type 2), sustainable tourism vocabulary with environment retrieval (D4), cultural advice with يُستَحسَن أَن, tourism verbs (يستقطِب/يُبهِر/يتميَّز بـ). Error correction targeting the unit's key accuracy points.

- التَّكامُل الكامِل لِقَواعِد مَرحَلة التَّقَدُّم
- الاستِماع لِلبُنى المُعَقَّدة في الخِطاب السِّياحي
Accuracy checklist
- Check the subject and verb or noun/adjective agreement.
- Check gender, number and tense or time frame.

Skills Practice
Practise listening, reading, speaking and writing with the same lesson language.
🎧
Listening
Listen for intention. Listen twice: first for the overall meaning, then for evidence.
🎧 Recorded audio coming soon — use the device voice for listening practice now. Keep the transcript hidden for your first two listens.
الأَداء اللُّغوي تَحت الضَّغط. الارتِجال بِالجُمَل الشَّرطِيَّة. التَّكامُل الكامِل لِقَواعِد مَرحَلة التَّقَدُّم. الاستِماع لِلبُنى المُعَقَّدة في الخِطاب السِّياحي. التَّعَرُّف على التَّشكيك والجَزم في الكَلام.
- What is the main topic or situation?
- Is the purpose to describe, explain, advise, invite, complain or persuade?
- What clue helped you identify the purpose?
Check your listening
A successful answer identifies the main topic, at least three accurate words and one relevant detail. Replay once, then reveal the transcript only if you still need support.
📄
Reading
Underline known words before answering.
كنتُ قد حجَزتُ. أشار الدليل إلى أنَّه. إذا سافَرنا في الصباح.
- What is the main idea or situation?
- Choose one phrase and explain what it means in this context.
- Find one example that shows the lesson language or grammar in use.
- What extra detail could you add to make the text more complete?
Reading support
Start with names, numbers, repeated words, connectors and familiar verb patterns. You do not need to translate every word.
🗣️
Speaking
Build your answer, then ask a follow-up question.
- Choose three questions from this unit and answer them aloud without notes. Re-record or repeat the weakest answer.
- Use at least three useful items from this lesson and one complete sentence with the target grammar.
- Add one reason, detail or example instead of giving only a short answer.
Useful frame:في رَأيي.. لِأَنَّ.. أَيضاً.. وَمِن جِهَةٍ أُخرى..
Working alone? Record yourself for 30–60 seconds, listen back once, and improve one pronunciation, grammar or fluency point.
✍️
Writing
Plan, write, check and improve.
Task: Plan key words for a spoken response, then write a short version that you could say naturally. Target: 80–100 words, extending to 130–140 words for an extended exam-style task.
✍️
Activities
Complete the activities in order, or choose the one that addresses your weakest area.
Independent revision: if an activity mentions a partner, cards, a picture or classroom equipment, use paper/notes on your device and complete both sides yourself. For speaking, record your answer and listen back once.
Warm-up8 min
Portfolio submission + most sophisticated travel sentence
You submit your travel and tourism portfolio. Read your most grammatically sophisticated sentence — one that integrates several P3 grammar structures accurately. Annotate the sentence yourself, or ask a partner to identify the structures: "This sentence has: كنتُ قد حجَزتُ (past perfect + 2028 verb) + أشار الدليل إلى أنَّه (reported speech + إنَّه) + إذا سافَرنا في الصباح (Type 1 conditional). Three structures in one sentence — that is the P3 standard." This ritual names and celebrates specific grammatical achievement.

Error correction — 12 P3 sentences
12 sentences targeting P3 errors: 1) يستقطِب Form X error (يستقطِب not يقطِب). 2) يُقيم in past: أقامَت (should be أقامَت — Form IV past, hamza + قام). 3) Past perfect reported speech: كانوا قد قالوا إنَّ (correct — confirm). 4) Type 2 conditional missing لـَ: لَو حجَزتُ مبكِّراً، حصَلتُ (should be لَحصَلتُ). 5) Type 2 condition verb tense: لَو أحجُز مبكِّراً (should be past: لَو حجَزتُ). 6) يُستَحسَن أَن + wrong verb form: يُستَحسَن أَن تخلَعَ حذاءَكَ (correct — confirm subjunctive). 7) يُستَحسَن أَن + indicative (error): يُستَحسَن أَن تخلَع (without subjunctive marker — subtle; at this level accept both). 8) يُبهِر agreement: المدينة يُبهِر (should be تُبهِر — feminine subject). 9) Reported speech إنَّ error. 10) Past perfect agreement error. 11–12) Tourism passive errors. Pairs correct, class reviews.

Topic conversation mock — full P3 register
Topic card (assessment questions): 1) صِف وَسيلة نَقل مُفَضَّلة لَديك ولِماذا؟ 2) صِف إِجازةً ماضِيَّة — ما الذي كنتَ قد تَوَقَّعتَه، وما الذي وجَدتَه فِعلاً؟ (Past perfect required — كنتُ قد توقَّعتُ) 3) ما رَأيُك في السِّياحة المُستَدامة؟ هَل تَعتَقِد أَنَّها ضَرورِيَّة؟ (Type 1 conditional expected in answer) 4) لَو كانَ لَديك مِيزانِيَّة غَير مَحدودة لِلسَّفَر، أَين كُنتَ ستَذهَب ولِماذا؟ (Type 2 conditional required — explicit لَو prompt) 5) ما النَّصيحة الثَّقافِيَّة الأَهَمّ التي تُوَجِّهُها لِزائِر عَرَبي لِبَريطانِيا؟ (يُستَحسَن أَن expected). You prepare 3 min. Mock with partner (10 min). your partner leads 4 classmates — Q4 is the critical question (explicit لَو prompt — can you produce Type 2 conditional spontaneously?). your partner scores and gives written feedback.
Step 38 min
Assessment checklist and P3 mid-year review
Complete the P3 assessment checklist. Then: P3 mid-year review — You rate your confidence across all three P3 units (Units 13, 14, 15): Which grammar structure do you feel most confident with? Which needs most work before the IGCSE Bridge Unit (P6)? This mid-year metacognitive review gives you a clear picture of what to consolidate in Units 16 and 17.

P3 grammar at P3 — what you can do
"Three units into P3. You can now: use conditional sentences Type 1 and Type 2, form past perfect for narrative depth, use reported speech with 6 different verbs, apply D1–D6 grammar across new topic areas, write to the Paper 4 Q3 length of about 130–140 words consistently, and discuss travel, health, and education at an academic level in Arabic. Units 16 and 17 add social issues and the built world to your repertoire. P6 brings it all together for IGCSE. You are ready."
Useful to have
Things you can make or find to help you revise this lesson:
- Error correction sheet (12 P3 sentences)
- Topic conversation question card (5 questions)
- Assessment checklist
Stretch challenge
If you already speak some Arabic at home: prepare a 4-minute expert commentary in Arabic — no notes — on "السِّياحة والهُوِيَّة العَرَبِيَّة: هَل يُمكِن لِلسِّياحة أَن تَحمي التُّراث العَرَبي بَدَلاً من أَن تَهدِمَه؟" Use all P3 grammar structures spontaneously, including both conditional types, reported speech from real organisations, and sustainable tourism vocabulary. Self-assess against full IGCSE Speaking mark scheme.

Optional follow-up
Final revision for P3 assessment. Priority: (1) Type 2 conditional — write 4 examples from memory with لَو + past + لـَ + past conditional. (2) يُقيم/يَحجُز in all 5 tense contexts (present/past/future/Type 1 conditional/past perfect).

How secure do you feel after this lesson?
Remember: quick revision works best when you revisit weak vocabulary and correct errors, not when you try to complete everything in one sitting.
