نموذج محاكاة للمقابلة (Sample Interview Simulation):

Interviewer: Good morning, Tariq. Thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us about your work?

Tariq: Good morning! Of course. I’ve been working as an air traffic controller at Muscat International Airport for more than 22 years now.

Interviewer: That’s a long career! What kind of instructions do you give to pilots?

Tariq: Well, mainly I give instructions about height and speed – making sure planes are flying at safe altitudes and appropriate speeds, especially when they’re approaching the airport.

Interviewer: I see. What factors affect the order in which planes land?

Tariq: That’s a good question. Several things affect the landing order – mainly the size of the aircraft, its speed, and the direction it’s coming from. We have to coordinate all of these factors to keep everything running smoothly and safely.

Interviewer: Can you explain what qualities someone needs to do this job well?

Tariq: I mean, the most important thing is a passion for aviation. You also need excellent concentration, because you’re responsible for many lives at once, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

Interviewer: Finally, how do you find your job overall – is it stressful?

Tariq: Honestly, it can be stressful at times, especially during busy periods. But overall, I find it very rewarding. Knowing that I’m helping keep flights safe gives me a real sense of purpose.

Car Parts Activity


التعليمات:

“Look at the picture of the car and choose one of the labelled parts. Ask your partner to explain its purpose. Use phrases from the Soundbites box.”

mirrorمرآة
petrol capغطاء خزان البنزين
bonnetغطاء المحرك (الكبوت)
wheelعجلة
tyreعجلة (الإطار المطاطي)
number plateلوحة الترخيص
indicatorإشارة الانحراف

20.12 نموذج محادثة كاملة: شرح أجزاء السيارة

المثال المُعطى:

Student A: Can you tell me what the mirror is used for?
Student B: It’s used to check the traffic behind. That’s why it’s so important.

نموذج حوار موسّع (7 أجزاء):

A: Can you tell me what the mirror is used for?
B: It’s used to check the traffic behind you before changing lanes or reversing. That’s why it’s so important for safety.

A: OK, got it. What about the indicator? What’s that for?
B: Let me explain. The indicator shows other drivers which direction you’re about to turn. That’s why you should always use it before turning or changing lanes.

A: I see. Can you explain what the bonnet is used for?
B: The bonnet covers the engine. The reason it’s important is that it protects the engine from rain, dust, and other things, and it also allows access for maintenance checks.

A: What do you mean by “maintenance checks”?
B: I mean things like checking the oil level or the engine water – you open the bonnet to do these checks.

A: Got it. And the petrol cap?
B: That’s simple – it’s where you put fuel into the car. That’s why it needs to be closed properly, or fuel could leak or evaporate.

A: What about the number plate? Why is that important?
B: The number plate is used to identify the vehicle. That’s because every car needs a unique identification for legal and safety reasons, like in case of accidents or violations.

A: Last one – the wheel and tyre. Are they the same thing?
B: Not exactly! The wheel is the metal part, while the tyre is the rubber part that goes around it. The tyre is what actually touches the road, which is why its condition is so important for safety.


20.13 ربط بمهارة سابقة: First Conditional + Explanations | Integration

دعنا ندمج First Conditional (من Theme 3) مع Explanations:

If the tyre isn’t properly inflated, the car won’t grip the road well. That’s why drivers should check tyre pressure regularly.”

If an air traffic controller makes a mistake, it could be very dangerous. The reason is that many lives depend on accurate communication.”
