V. Critical Thinking.

“I cannot have a child!” shouted Mary. “I am not married”.

“Do not worry!” said the angel. “Allah (S WT) will make you a child. The child wilt be God’s gift to all mankind”.

Several months later Mary was pregnant. She was worried. The other Israelites would not understand why she was pregnant. What are the different ways in which the statements are made negative? c) Comparing Structures Compare the following sentences.

1. “Be afraid!” he said.

2. “They will not hate me”, she said to herself.

3. The man looked like Jesus.

4. They realized that Allah (SWT) had changed Judas’ face

d) Rule Formation.

1. Statements can either be ……….. (e.g., They knew that Mary was a gift from God.) or ……….. (e.g., They did not know that Mary was a gift from God.).

2. Statements are often made negative by inserting the word ………. into a sentence.

3. When this word is used, sometimes an auxiliary verb must be also be used, e.g,……….. not be afraid, or She ………… not reply.

4. Sometimes the word………. is contracted, e.g., cannot = ……….. didn’t

=................, or……….. = do not.

Mary was a gift from God, and so her mother, Hannah, asked the rabbis to take her into the temple. Since they normally (1) ………… took boys, she thought that they would (2) ……….. accept Mary, but instead they said “(3)………..”. Zakaria built a room (4) ……….. Mary at the temple. She did (5) ……….. eat during the day.

At night, (6) ………… prayed to God. When Zakaria brought Mary (7)……….. food and drink at night, he (8) ……….. surprised to find that she did (9) ………… need it. There (10) ………… always enough food in her room.

In the passage, you have read that when Mary became pregnant, she was worried because she knew the other Israelites would not understand the miracle ofher pregnancy. She knew that they would hate her.

1. In groups, imagine that a girl like Mary is pregnant in modern times. Discuss first how people
would react. How would they treat her? What would they say about her? Why would they do this?
Then, discuss what should be done. Provide reasons for your solution.

2. One member of each group will report the group's findings to the rest of the class. Be prepared to
answer questions about your decision and to ask other groups about theirs.

3. Try to arrive at a solution which is acceptable to the whole class.
