6 minutes
The academic content is in Arabic, as at the BAC and as in the app.
What the syllabus expects from you
- Making hypotheses/suppositions about space phenomena (may/might/could be, it is likely that...)
The method
- Frame the hypothesis with a modal of possibility before stating the supporting evidence
From the lesson
Astronomers assume many things about space long before they can prove them. Read the report below and find every word that shows this is still a guess, not a fact.
The vocabulary
- suppose/assume (يفترض)
