📖 Read: Two cousins, two habits أقرأ
Aziz and Karim are cousins. They are both twelve and they live in Nabeul.
Aziz is fit. He gets up early, eats an egg and some bread, and he rides his bike to school. After school, he plays basketball with his friends. He drinks lots of water and he goes to bed at nine. He is always happy and excited.
Karim is not fit. He eats doughnuts for breakfast and he plays video games for hours. He doesn’t sleep enough, so he is often tired in class. He can’t run fast in the sports lesson and he feels sad and unhappy.
Three months later, Karim plays football with Aziz every weekend. He feels great!

🧩 Grammar القواعد
To describe a person, use be + adjective: Aziz is fit. Karim is tired. I am excited.
Add un- to say the opposite: happy ➡️ unhappy, fit ➡️ unfit, healthy ➡️ unhealthy.
Give advice with should / shouldn’t and rules with must / mustn’t: You should ride a bike. You mustn’t sleep late on school nights.
Be kind: we talk about habits, not about how people look. Say He is unfit, not He is fat.
نصف الأشخاص بـ be + صفة. البادئة un- تعطي العكس: happy / unhappy. ننصح بـ should ونذكر القواعد بـ must. ولا نسخر من شكل الآخرين.
