Overall Sonia has mild weaknesses in her speech and language skills, though she has made solid progress this year. She has demonstrated a marked improvement in her ability to formulate sentences from a given word and is able to formu- late compound and complex sentences during structured tasks with 85% success (though she sometimes has some errors in grammar or punctuation). She is using more age-appropriate syntax and grammar in unstructured tasks as well. She includes good detail in her writing and can write a 5-7 sentence paragraph. Sonia has made steady gain in her use and understanding of vocabulary. She is using context clues with 70% success to determine the meaning of words and is able to define words as well as understand multiple meaning words and related words. Sonia has significantly improved her ability to follow oral directions of up to four steps and recall facts from orally-presented stories. With modeling and the use of a graphic organizer, Sonia is able to make inferences and predictions, as well as determine the main idea with increasing success.
English to Persian (Farsi): History of the Medes Monarchy General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: History
Source text - English The origin of the Median nation is wrapt in a profound obscurity. Following the traces which the Zendavesta offers, taking into consideration its minute account of the earlier Arian migrations, its entire omission of any mention of the Medes, and the undoubted fact that it was nevertheless by the Medes and Persians that the document itself was preserved and transmitted to us, we should be naturally led to suppose that the race was one which in the earlier times of Arian development was weak and insignificant, and that it first pushed itself into notice after the ethnological portions of the Zendavesta were composed, which is thought to have been about B.C. 1000.
Translation - Persian (Farsi) منشاء قوم ماد در هاله¬ی بسیار تیره¬ای از ابهام پیچیده شده است. با دنبال کردن ردهایی که در زنداوستا دیده می¬شود و ملاحظه¬ی سیر مهاجرت آریایی-های کهن، نبردن هیچ نامی از مادها و این واقعیّت غیرقابل تردید که علی¬رغم همه¬ی این حرف¬ها، اسناد و مدارک خودشان بدون دخالت مادها و پارس¬ها حفظ و بدست ما رسیده¬اند، ما باید طبیعتاً بدین نتیجه رهنمون شویم که این قوم در زمان¬های کهن گسترش آریایی¬ها، ضعیف و ناچیز بوده¬اند و برای اوّلین بار پس از سرایش قسمت¬های وابسته به نژادشناسی زنداوستا که به گمان به حدود 1000 سال قبل از میلاد برمی¬گردد، خودی نشان می¬دهد.
English to Persian (Farsi): Kirkuk and disputed areas General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English The future stability of Iraq depends on a peaceful resolution to the deeply divisive issue of Kirkuk. Kirkuk, both city and governorate, form part of the so-called “disputed territories” – a swathe of territories spread across northern Iraq where oil, symbolism, and ethnicities collide. Populated by Kurds, Turkmens, and Arabs (along with smaller numbers of Chaldo-Assyrian Christians), the disputed territories are claimed by the Kurds as part of their autonomous Kurdistan Region; this claim, in turn, is bitterly contested by the region’s other ethnic groups. While many of the territories in dispute have the capacity to generate friction among ethnic groups in the North, none approaches the complexity and emotive significance of Kirkuk. For Kurds, Kirkuk is, as one Kurdish leader described it, the “Kurdish Jerusalem”; for Turkmens, Kirkuk is, and always has been, a Turkmen city that binds together an imagined community of Turkmens in Iraq (the “Turkmeneli”) stretching from the Iranian border in the east to the Syrian border in the west; finally, for Arabs, Kirkuk is a distinctly Iraqi city that symbolizes Iraq’s national identity as a coherent and unified multiethnic state; as such, it belongs to no one ethnic group. Alongside its oil riches and its ethnic diversity, it is Kirkuk’s symbolic significance that sets it apart from other disputed territories.
Translation - Persian (Farsi) ثبات آتی عراق به یافتن راه حلی مسالمت آمیز برای قضیه ی به شدت تفرقه انداز کرکوک وابسته است. هم شهر و هم استان کرکوک، بخشی از مناطقی هستند که "مناطق مورد مناقشه" نامیده شده است. این مناطق متشکل از نواری در شمال عراق است که نفت، نمادگرایی و مواجهات قومی ویژگی های بارز آنجاست. مناطق مورد مناقشه محل سکونت کردها، ترکمانان و اعراب (در کنار تعداد کمی از مسیحیان کلدو آشوری) است. کردها مدعی هستند این مناطق بخشی از منطقه خودمختار کردستان است؛ اما این مدعا به شدت مورد اعتراض دیگر گروه های قومی منطقه است. اگر چه در شمال (عراق) مناطق بسیاری هستند که از ظرفیت ایجاد اختلاف و اصطکاک میان گروه های قومی برخوردارند، اما هیچ کدام از این مناطق به اندازه کرکوک اهمیت احساسی و پیچیدگی ندارند. برای کردها، کرکوک همان گونه که یکی از رهبرانشان توصیف کرده "قدس کردستان" است؛ برای ترکمانان، کرکوک همیشه شهری ترکمانی بوده و هست که جامعه ترکمان عراق (ترکمنلی) را که از مرزهای ایران در شرق تا مرز سوریه در غرب کشیده شده بهم پیوند داده است؛ برای اعراب نیز کرکوک آشکارا شهری عراقی و نماد هویت ملی عراق است که چندقومی، متحد و منسجم است و از این رو به هیچ گروه قومی متعلق نیست. در کنار ثروتهای نفتی و تنوع قومی، اهمیت نمادین کرکوک آن را از بقیه سرزمین های مورد مناقشه متمایز کرده است.
