Proposal
إزاي تكتب اقتراح رسمي بيوضح مشكلة ويوصي بحل محدد وواقعي (زي نادي هوايات في المدرسة) في 150-180 كلمة.
الدرس ده عن إيه؟
A proposal is a formal piece of writing that identifies a problem and recommends a clear course of action. Good proposals combine a persuasive tone with realistic, specific recommendations.
الدرس ده عن الـ Proposal يعني اقتراح رسمي مكتوب. إنت بتشوف مشكلة حواليك (في المدرسة أو الحي)، وبتكتب للمسؤولين حل واضح وواقعي وبتقول ليه الحل ده هينفع.
في الكتاب الدرس ده في Unit 7: Discovering Your Passion (Concept 7: Passion & Purpose)، صفحة Writing a Proposal (صفحة 51-52). المهمة: إنك عضو في student council وبتقترح نادي أو تجمع منتظم حوالين هواية مشتركة (repair club, art club, coding club)، في (150-180) words، ولازم تستخدم used to أو would مرة على الأقل.
موضوعات الوحدة: إزاي الهواية تكبر وتبقى فرصة (زي مريم وكيكها)، إزاي الهواية المشتركة تبني community، إزاي تعلّم غيرك مهارة، وإزاي توازن بين الهواية والمذاكرة.
الفكرة ببساطة: مشكلة ← حل ← ليه الحل ده كويس
Think of a proposal as a short plan: Problem → Recommendation → Reasons → Action. It is formal, clear and realistic.
تخيل إن طلبة كتير في مدرستك بيرموا أي حاجة تبوظ (عجلة، سماعة، شاحن) بدل ما يصلحوها. إنت عندك فكرة: نادي تصليح كل خميس. الـ proposal هو الورقة الرسمية اللي بتقدمها للمدرسة وبتقول فيها:
- إيه المشكلة؟ (Currently, many students…)
- إيه الحل اللي بقترحه بالظبط؟ (It is recommended that…)
- الحل ده هيتنفذ إزاي؟ (This would involve…)
- ليه هينفع؟ (This would help by… / Evidence suggests that…)
- عايز منكم إيه دلوقتي؟ (We therefore urge…)
| النقطة | Persuasive Email | Proposal |

The book divides the proposal into six sections, each with a purpose and useful phrases.

ده proposal كامل على مهمة زي مهمة الكتاب. العناوين جزء من الشكل، وعدد الكلمات محسوب على النص كله بالعناوين.
Proposal for a School Repair Club
Introduction
The purpose of this proposal is to recommend a weekly Repair Club where students learn to fix everyday items instead of throwing them away.
The Problem
Currently, many students replace broken bicycles, headphones and chargers as soon as they break. A significant number of us have never used a screwdriver. When our grandparents were young, families would repair almost everything at home, and people used to keep the same bicycle for years. That knowledge is disappearing.
The Recommendation
It is recommended that the school open a Repair Club every Thursday afternoon in the technology room. This would involve volunteer teachers, parents with practical skills and older students who enjoy fixing things.
Supporting Reasons
This would help by saving families money and reducing waste. Evidence suggests that hands-on projects build patience and confidence. Furthermore, the club would connect students from different year groups who share this interest.
Conclusion
In conclusion, implementing this idea would turn a simple passion into a valuable community skill. We therefore urge the school to approve a trial term.
- Title: قصير وبيقول الهدف من أول نظرة: Proposal for a School Repair Club.
- Introduction: جملة واحدة فيها phrase الكتاب «The purpose of this proposal is to…» وبتقول الاقتراح بالظبط (weekly Repair Club).
- The Problem: بدأ بـ «Currently, many students…» و«A significant number of…» زي جدول الكتاب، وبيوصف المشكلة بأمثلة (bicycles, headphones, chargers).
- used to / would: «families would repair almost everything» (فعل متكرر في الماضي) و«people used to keep the same bicycle» (عادة خلصت). ده شرط المهمة، وكمان بيقارن زمان بدلوقتي.
- The Recommendation: محدد وواقعي: إمتى (every Thursday afternoon)، فين (the technology room)، مين (volunteer teachers, parents, older students). استخدم «It is recommended that…» و«This would involve…».
- Supporting Reasons: 3 أسباب: توفير فلوس وتقليل هدر، بناء صبر وثقة (Evidence suggests that…)، وجمع طلبة من سنين مختلفة (Furthermore…). ده بيربط بفكرة الوحدة: الهواية المشتركة بتبني community.
- Conclusion / Call to Action: «In conclusion, implementing this idea would…» تلخيص، و«We therefore urge the school to approve a trial term» طلب واضح وصغير وسهل يتوافق عليه.
- اللغة: رسمية وموضوعية، مفيش I want ولا اختصارات، وفيه relative clauses (where students learn… / who enjoy fixing things).
