a level arabic paper 1

so I have my paper 1 arabic on Tues and if I'm honest there isn't enough resources for it online especially for the new spec , so I want this to reach anyone who has possibly already done them? or that is being actually taught this by some experienced, as I am teaching myself this and I did my GCSE for this however the A level in general is more complicated and it leaves me a bit anxious about it as a whole

The translation was awful while I was writing in English it made no sense. I'm doing the wadjda movie (don't know if I spelt it right)And then I'm doing the play called the Bakela- the one with the rich but stingy grandma.What about you?
Im planning to do Oujda aswell and for the story its either el bakhila or 3sfor mn al sharq - I might end up reading summaries of both and seeing which one is easiest on the exam day - where are u guys getting resources from

Did you find the the comprehension questions hard , they were so hard to pick out the answers from unless you copy some bits , and i dont know if you can copy phrases from the text and still get the mark

I personally found it quite hard, but yeah I just copied bits from the text, it does count if you put the right phrase down

tbh I just left a gap for whatever word I didn’t know or I guessed depending on the sentence to make it work haha. I’m actually gonna search that first word because I didn’t know it either

I just saw this I’m not too sure I don’t think there’s many resources online and I kind of left it last second. Are you sure el bakhila is a book you’re allowed to read for the exam.
same here ! I managed to fit in and watch the movie yesterday . The books were elbakhila , saaed al yarqat and osfor mn al sharq . If you guys know anything about them please share
