موضوع امتحان بكالوريا 2010 في اللغة الإنجليزية مع الحل – شعبة لغات أجنبية

📌 Text:

Cultural diversity is one of humanity’s greatest treasures. Each culture brings its own unique perspectives, traditions, and ways of understanding the world. When different cultures interact, they enrich each other and create new forms of expression. However, in a rapidly globalizing world, many minority cultures are at risk of disappearing. The dominance of a few major languages and cultures threatens the survival of smaller ones. Preserving cultural diversity is not about keeping cultures frozen in time; it is about allowing them to evolve while maintaining their distinct identities. It is our collective responsibility to protect this precious heritage for future generations.

— Adapted from a UNESCO publication on cultural diversity
