Helping the Community

Words: help, feed, volunteer, collect, plant, clean. In the dialogue "Helping Hands", Adam cleans trash from the streets with his friends every Saturday, plants trees in the park, and sometimes feeds dogs and cats. His sister helps the neighbors and volunteers at the community park. Amira collects clothes and gives them to people who need them. When we all help, we make our community great.

Community Problems and Solutions

• Traffic: cars do not move quickly near schools in the morning. Solution: take the school bus instead of cars, or walk or cycle for short distances.
• Trash: some people do not put trash in bins, so the streets look dirty. Solution: put new bins everywhere. Everyone uses them and the street becomes clean.

Language in Use: Present Simple (negative and questions)

• Negative: use don't with I, you, we, they: Cars don't move quickly. Use doesn't with he, she, it: She doesn't need a car.
• Questions: use Do with I, you, we, they: Do you know how to solve this problem? Use Does with he, she, it: Does your street have this problem?
• After do/does/don't/doesn't we use the base verb. Wrong: She don't like pollution. Right: She doesn't like pollution.

Egypt, My Culture

Egypt has two special regions: the Delta in the north and Upper Egypt in the south. Each has its own traditions.

• In the Delta, people celebrate the Spring Festival with colorful decorations and special foods. Farmers grow rice and cotton, many people work in factories and make crafts.
• In Upper Egypt, people celebrate the sugar cane harvest with big festivals, make pottery, weave carpets, and sing traditional songs. In Nubia the houses are painted in bright colors with special designs.
• Men wear galabeyas (sometimes turbans) or modern clothes. Egyptians are proud of their culture.

Pronunciation and Vocabulary

• /f/ is voiceless (fish, factory, frog, flag, forest). /v/ is voiced (van, violin, view, vest).
• A prefix changes the meaning of a word: dis- (like → dislike, appear → disappear), il- (legal → illegal, logical → illogical), ir- (regular → irregular, responsible → irresponsible, relevant → irrelevant).

Writing

• Diary entry: write the date, a greeting ("Dear diary,"), details (who you talked to, what you heard, how you felt), and a closing ("Yours truly, your name"). Hana's diary tells how her neighborhood looked 50 years ago: an old market with wooden stalls, small houses with gardens, and a small train station.
• Poster: a clear title, pictures, and 2–3 solutions, for example "Stop air pollution: walk or cycle, plant trees, use less plastic."
