rendez-vous” to the national hero and martyr Mohamed Larbi Ben M’hidi written by his friend El Hachemi Trodi. The book narrates the life of the man behind the legend. How all his being-mind, body and soul-was dedicated to one goal: the independence of Algeria. I wish young Algerians would read this book to understand how difficult it was to be a militant for the independence of Algeria. We used to think it was easy to be on the right side at that time since there was only one known enemy. But that is far from the truth, Ben Mhidi and his companions had to fight many enemies and face many conspiracies .They also, had to face ignorance, treacheries and jealousy. But their genuine commitment to their noble cause always succeeded to show them the right way to follow and their bravery helped them carry on the fight ... till freedom. After reading this book I had a feeling of pride, to be the compatriot of such a great man, May he and all martyrs rest in peace. Indeed, Si Larbi, France left Algeria with its colons and army ... and a whole nation remembers you ... will always do . May you rest in peace in paradise for eternity. “ A/ Reading Compre ading Co -e : I read the text then a d the te 1- Who was Larbi B ho was Larb 2-How old wa ow o 3-Was h W sk t ed d how d think it w own enemy ght many acheri always suc them carry a feeling of p yrs rest in left Alger ... will alwa in peace in par m/ m/exams Task three: 1/ I read the text and find words or expressions that are closest in meaning to : (1pt) Picture = … , to combat = … 2/ I read the text and find words or expressions that are opposite in meaning to : (1pt) Easy =/= … , failed =/= … B/ Mastery of Language (7pts) Task one : I reorder the words to get correct sentences : (3pts) - 1939 /joined /Ben Mhidi /in /. / The Muslims Scouts/ - a /grew up /./He / wealthy /in/family / -by/captured /was/he/in/paratroopers/French/1957/./February Task two: I give the correct form of the verbs in brackets: (2pts) The Algerian war for independence (to start) …in 1954 and (to finish)… in 1962 .
