ضمن برنامج بكالوريا SMB
English carries a coefficient of 2 in the Bac Sciences Maths B (SMB) stream, level with Philosophy. Mathematics dominates the stream (coefficient 9), followed by Physics-Chemistry and Engineering Sciences (coefficient 7 each), so English can look marginal — but it and Philosophy form the narrow margin where rankings and honours are actually decided. Reading, language and guided writing are all assessed.
في الامتحان
Three parts: Reading Comprehension, Language, and Writing (a guided text of about 180 words). SMB candidates, trained to be rigorous and systematic, do well on the Language section if they treat each grammar point as a rule with a fixed structure; the risk is a dry essay that ignores vocabulary range and register, which the Writing section also scores.
أهداف التعلم
- Reuse this vocabulary field in the Bac SMB Reading answers and in the argumentative essay (coefficient 2)
- Understand that an idiom's meaning is figurative and not deducible from its words
- Recognise frequent programme idioms: once in a blue moon, break the ice, a piece of cake, under the weather, cost an arm and a leg
- Paraphrase an idiom in plain English when its meaning is not certain
- Avoid translating an idiom word for word from Arabic or French
المفاهيم الأساسية
What is an idiom?
Frequent programme idioms
Paraphrasing an idiom
الأخطاء الشائعة
Translating an idiom word for word: “il pleut des cordes” → “it's raining ropes” is meaningless in English; the equivalent idiom is “it's raining cats and dogs”.
Taking an idiom literally in a reading text: “he was over the moon” means he was delighted, not that he was in space.
Overusing idioms in a formal essay: one or two well-placed idioms add colour, but a formal argument is not built on them.

الأسئلة الشائعة
How many idioms do I need for the Bac?
A working set of ten to fifteen frequent ones is enough. Knowing their meaning matters more for reading; in writing, one or two well-chosen idioms are plenty.
Can I use a French or Arabic idiom translated into English?
No — idioms rarely translate. Either use the established English equivalent or drop the idiom and state the meaning plainly.
How do I handle an unknown idiom in a reading text?
Use the surrounding context: the sentence and paragraph usually make the figurative meaning clear enough to answer the question, even without knowing the idiom.
A maths-stream student often dislikes English — how do they raise the mark?
Treat it as structure. Every writing task = introduction + argument + counter-argument + conclusion; every grammar point = one rule + one correct example + one typical mistake. Memorise that framework, apply it to the 31 chapters with two example sentences each, and 12/20 is reachable without eating into the heavy maths programme.
How do I use this theme in the Bac SMB essay without sounding generic?
Anchor each key term in one concrete, personal example — a place, a person, a situation you know. A specific illustration in accurate English scores better than a long list of terms with no support, on any of the society prompts in the programme.
