Directions for Presentational Writing: Urdu Assignment
For the Presentational Writing section of the test, you will write an essay in Urdu in response to an assignment.
Read the assignment carefully before you begin to write. Think about how you will organize your essay. You should use your time to plan, write, review, and edit your essay. You may use the erasable notebooklet to make notes, write an outline, or otherwise prepare your response. However, your final response to the assignment must be written on the response sheets and scanned using the scanner provided at your workstation.
Instructions for scanning your Response Sheets are available by clicking the "Scanning Help" button at the top of the screen.
Your response will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- APPROPRIATENESS: The extent to which the response supports the established position with information (appropriately cited details, quotations, and paraphrases) from the provided passage and the candidate's own ideas or examples
- SUPPORT: The extent to which the response supports the established position with information (appropriately cited details, quotations, and paraphrases) from the provided passage and the candidate's own ideas or examples
- ORGANIZATION: The extent to which the response is a well-organized and coherent essay that communicates clear ideas, develops a logical conclusion, and uses cohesive devices to connect sentences
- GRAMMAR: The extent to which the response uses a range of appropriate grammatical constructions, time frames, sentence structures, and mechanics (i.e., spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and diacritical marks)
- VOCABULARY: The extent to which the response uses a range of appropriate vocabulary and academic and idiomatic language
Your response will be evaluated on the criteria above, not on the position you take. Your response must be written in your own words. With the exception of appropriately identified quotations and paraphrases from the passage, your writing must be your own.
Any time spent responding to the assignment, including scanning the response sheet(s), is part of your testing time. Monitor your time carefully. When your testing time expires, a pop-up message will appear on-screen indicating the conclusion of your test session. Only response sheets that are scanned before you end your test or before time has expired will be scored. Any response sheet that is not scanned before testing ends will NOT be scored.

اس میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ آن لائن تدریس اور سیکھنے کو اسکولوں میں مفید اور موثر طریقے سے استعمال کیا جاسکتا ہے۔ معلومات اور وسائل کی کوئی حد نہیں ہے جو میں متعدد زبانوں میں تلاش کرسکتا ہوں۔ آن لائن معلومات مجھے اپنے طلباء کے ساتھ مختلف زبانوں میں تصورات کا اشتراک کرنے کی اجازت دیتی ہے. یہ سیکھنے کو تمام طالب علموں کے لئے ایک عمدہ انداز میں دستیاب بناتا ہے۔
ایک استاد کی حیثیت سے، میں اپنی کلاسوں میں اسکول میں مختلف ٹکنالوجیوں کا استعمال کرتا ہوں. نتیجے کے طور پر ، میں دیکھتا ہوں کہ طلباء کی شرکت میں کس طرح اضافہ ہوتا ہے کیونکہ وہ اپنے ساتھیوں کے ساتھ اپنے کام کا اشتراک کرسکتے ہیں اور بعد میں استعمال کے لئے تمام تبدیلیوں پر نظر رکھ سکتے ہیں اور محفوظ کرسکتے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ، میں اپنے طالب علموں کے سیکھنے کے انداز میں تدریس میں فرق کر سکتا ہوں. میں عام طور پر اپنی کلاسوں میں آن لائن ویڈیوز ، موسیقی یا بلاگز شامل کرتا ہوں جو میرے طلباء انفرادی طور پر یا گروپوں میں تلاش کرنے سے لطف اندوز ہوتے ہیں۔ کئی بار، طالب علم میرے ساتھ اشتراک کرنے کے لئے نئے وسائل لاتے ہیں جب وہ موضوع سے محبت کرتے ہیں.
مجھے آن لائن کوئز دینے کی سہولت بھی پسند ہے۔ یہ مجھے طالب علموں کو فوری رائے فراہم کرنے کا ایک عمدہ طریقہ فراہم کرتا ہے۔ میں فوری طور پر جان سکتا ہوں کہ کہاں مسائل ہیں. طلباء کو فائدہ ہوتا ہے کیونکہ ان کی غلط فہمیاں فوری طور پر دور ہوجاتی ہیں۔
جیسا کہ دیکھا گیا ہے ، آن لائن وسائل تعلیم کو تمام طلباء کے لئے زیادہ قابل قبول بنانے میں کردار ادا کرتے ہیں اور ان کی دو زبانی ترقی میں مدد کرتے ہیں۔ اس سے ڈیجیٹل مہارت کے حامل طلباء کو اسکول کے اندر اور باہر معلومات حاصل کرنے اور ان کا جائزہ لینے کے لئے بھی تیار کیا جائے گا۔

Note: The sample strong response for the presentational writing assignment is an example of a response that a candidate might write. While the sample response demonstrates effective presentational writing skills, it could contain typical errors that candidates may produce in composing an essay in Urdu. Please see the rationale following the response for more details.
میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ طالب علموں کی زندگی کے تجربات کو سیکھنے کی سہولت کے لئے استعمال کیا جاسکتا ہے۔
ایک طالب علم کے طور پر، جب میرے اساتذہ نے میری زندگی کے واقعات کا حوالہ دیا اور انہیں نئی تعلیم کی تعمیر کے لئے استعمال کیا تو میں خاص اور قابل قدر محسوس کرتا تھا. مجھے خوشی کا احساس یاد ہے جب میرے اساتذہ کلاسوں میں میری اپنی زندگی سے کچھ بات کرتے تھے۔ میرے ہم جماعت بھی پسند کرتے تھے جب کلاس کی گفتگو میں ان کی زندگی کے تجربات کی مثالیں شامل ہوتی تھیں۔ اس سے ہمیں مضبوط رابطے بنانے میں مدد ملی جس نے سیکھنے کو آسان بنا دیا۔ لہذا ، ایک استاد کی حیثیت سے ، میں اپنے طلباء کے ثقافتی پس منظر اور تجربات کے بارے میں جاننے کی کوشش کرتا ہوں تاکہ جب میں نئے تصورات پڑھاتا ہوں تو ان کا استعمال کر سکوں۔
مثال کے طور پر ، سوشل اسٹڈیز میں ، میں اپنے طلباء کے آبائی ممالک کے دیوار کے نقشے دکھاتا ہوں۔ جب طالب علم ریاستہائے متحدہ امریکہ کے جغرافیہ کے بارے میں سیکھ رہے ہوتے ہیں اور دریاؤں یا پہاڑوں کے نقشے پر مقامی ہوتے ہیں تو ، میں اپنے طلباء کو اپنے ملک کے دیوار کے نقشے پر قدرتی خصوصیات کی نشاندہی کرکے اپنے آبائی / ورثہ ملک کے جغرافیہ کے بارے میں اشتراک کرنے کا موقع دیتا ہوں۔ بعض اوقات ہم مختلف ممالک کے مابین اختلافات اور مماثلت پر تبادلہ خیال کرتے ہیں. اس سے طبقاتی شرکت میں اضافہ ہوتا ہے اور ہر ایک کو ثقافتی طور پر جامع ماحول میں نقطہ نظر کا اشتراک کرنے کا موقع ملتا ہے۔
آخر میں، یہ واضح ہے کہ طالب علموں کی زندگی کے تجربات اور پس منظر کو مربوط کرنے سے سیکھنے میں سہولت ملتی ہے اور کلاس روم میں ثقافتی طور پر جامع ماحول پیدا ہوتا ہے جہاں ہر کوئی متعلقہ، قابل احترام اور قابل قدر محسوس کرتا ہے.
