The decline of the Islamic civilization gave impetus to the unchallenged rise of the
West. The golden age of Islam, particularly the scientific pursuits that required greater
stability in the Arab heartland declined by the 12th ceftuby and came to end in 1258
CE after the brutal Mongol iSvasion. Dhough the Mongol conquers adopte$ Islam
within fifty years, their ruling methods were tribal. With the vast destruction of
manuscripts and libraries, gradually a majority of"Ulema (religious jurists and
scholars) came to the view that the Islamic civilization had reached its apogee and all
.the interpretations (Ijtehad) needed have been accomplished

It was widely believed that the destruction at the hands of Mongols was retribution
from Allah for the deviances. In effect the “gates of Ijtehad were closed” by an
emerging consensus. Ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1326) condemned many of the
interpretations that accrued after the caliphate of the first four caliphs, but he
advocated fresh interpretation for the current times. He was imprisoned for such
deviance and died heartbroken. By the time of Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), the Muslim
.empire of Spain was in headlong decline and was finally obliterated in 1492 CE

The great Muslam tradition of scholarship in philosophy and sciences were in decline
by the dawn of the 13th century. About this time the Europeans had started
translations of the kn/Wledge ABcrued ajd buil4 upon by the Mu lim schkhars.
THough in 5th and 16th century Europe waq still in religious straight jacket it had
started a gradual pushing back against the stranglehold of the unitary Catholic
Church. The freedom of thought gradually gained ground in 18th century with what
has come to be known as the age of reason. By mid 19th century the Industrial
revolution had taken hold, particularly the war technology and exploration leading to
world dominance and colonialism. The colonialism and the ascendance of the west
.were in part caused by the weakness in Islamic societies

Dear Sir;
I feel I must protest about the lunch we had at your restaurant on Thursday
17th May. Unfortunately, both the food and the service were not satisfactory.
To begin with, the dishes we ordered were not tasty because of heavy
seasoning. There was also so much salt and pepper on the food that it was
impossible to eat the whole meal. Furthermore, your advertisement was
misleading as there were only two vegetarian dishes on the menu.
I must also point out that none of the dessert we ordered was fresh. In fact,
they smelled bad and the “delicious Italian cakes” were stale. As if this was
not bad enough, the prices were far from reasonable and contrary to what
was stated in your advertisement; we found everything outrageously priced.
To make matters worse, the air-conditioning was out of order. As a result, we
felt hot and extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, when we asked for the bill, we were surprised about the staff’s
ignorance of the 10% discount for group bookings. Again, this was something
highlighted in your advertisement. We could have made a fuss about it, but
we decided not to.
Considering all the above, I believe I am entitled to a partial refund. I am
confident that this matter will receive your prompt attention. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
James Kent

ENGLISH BAC PAPER


(elaborated by Mr. Zaitri)
READ THE TEXT CAREFULLY THEN DO THE ACTIVITIES

As the Greek historian Herodotus once said ‘Egypt of the gift of the Nile’,
the Nile River was the ancient Egyptians’ best friend even it did flood every
year. In the fall, the great river would overflow its banks. At first the
Egyptians lost their crops their houses and in some cases their lives.
However, the Egyptian people noticed after a time that the floods came about
the same time every year, in June. Therefore, they planned: they would make
sure nothing important was on the banks of the river when it was time for the
flood
Then after the water level went back down, they would quickly plant new
crops. The floods brought good fresh soil up onto the land .This soil was ideal
for planting grains.
The river also gave them the chance to fish. The Egyptians would build
boats out of the wood and sail up and down the river. They would use spears
and nets to catch fish as well as birds that flew close to the surface of the
water.
The Nile also provided protection from attack. People wanting to invade Egypt
would have first to cross the river, which was very wide in places. The
Egyptians could stand on their own side of the river and throw spears at their
r attackers. Any attacker who did cross the river was likely to be tired from
making the crossing.
Another important way that the Nile helped the ancient Egyptians was in
trade. Goods went to and from the Egypt down an up the Nile, which had its
mouth at the Mediterranean sea . [PERSONAL REFERENCE]

school. There , the learners are provided with the material means they need

good salaries and appropriate consideration either from the authorities or
from the population . In addition , the programmes to teach are prepared
carefully and get regularly updated to comply with the multiple changes that
happen in the different fields oh human activities .

courses at the university get gradual access to more suitable opportunities

SECTION ONE /READING AND INTERPRETING (15 pts)

TEXT
Nowadays , school discipline involves some form of detention or the
removal of privileges .Not so long ago , however, a further option was
corporal punishment – the use of a cane or leather strap, until it was
abolished in state schools in 1986 , but not in independent school.
In practice , very few independent schools now use corporal punishment .
Out of 1,000 schools in the independent sector , less than 1 per cent still use
it to discipline pupils.
Why does this small group of schools still hang on to such an outdated form
of punishment ?
We spoke to the headmistress of one such school to find out. Ms Smith still
believes firmly in the use of corporal punishment . What I am doing is saying
you have done wrong and giving them a smack there and then. It is
immediate . I believe this is much better than what I can only describe as
prolonged mental torture , » she explains.
In the opposite is Ms .Taylor, another headmistress , who believes that the
use of corporal punishment brings the independent schools into disrepute . «
I believe if you can’t control children other than by beating them , then you
should not be in the profession. »
At this school , pupils failing to produce homework might expect detention .
Smoking is met with the use of sanctions such as being grounded , the loss of
privileges and regular reporting to authority.Most independent schools
operate similar disciplinary procedures and parents seem to agree with this
approach.

exam paper presented3 by aicha beya zazar

Read the text carefully then do the activities.


One of the great impacts of advertisements on consumers is over
consumption. This latter, actually, can turn into a bad behaviour and cause
many problems. People who "shop till they drop" and run their credit cards up
to the limit are often considered as shopping addicted. Despite that
compulsive shopping and spending makes a person feel worse, shopaholics
believe that if they shop, they will feel better.
Compulsive shopping or spending can be a seasonal balm, especially in
special occasions. Shopaholics spend most of their time shopping in
supermarkets and malls, buying products they don't really need, partly
because they feel attracted by the image of the product, and the want to get
it is bigger than the amount of money they will spend.
Sopaholics when they feel out of sort, shop for a "pick me up". They go out
and buy, to get a "rush" just like a drug or alcohol addict. This behaviour,
generally is due to depression, loneliness and anxiety. In some cases
shopaholics have an emotional "black out". If their family or friends begin to
complain about their purchases, they will often hide the things they buy.
Since they cannot pay their bills and credit suffers, they have collection
agencies attempting to get what is owed, or may have legal, social and
relationship problems. They sometimes take an extra job to pay for bills.
Therefore, shopping and spending does not assure more love and self-esteem
or heal the hurts, regrets and problems of daily living, it rather makes these
feelings worse because of increased financial debt obtained from compulsive
shopping.
