It doesn't look like it was too difficult for you.

Because you were flirting with Arabic for too long.
One note about this "dikim + subjunctive" construction from the last exercise you did, which Hînker calls "Dema Bê ya Nêzîk" (Close Future). I haven't heard it from natives, but I did hear it in songs. For example, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkR8irdLEw8&t=30
Ez dikim herim, yar min ra nayê
or, in the standard language
Ez dikim herim, yar bi min re nayê - I'm leaving/ I'm about to leave, but my beloved doesn't come with me.
I find it appropriate to translate this construction into English as "I'm going to" or "I'm about to".

2. Konferansa îsal dê ji bo bîranîna Harold Pinter li dar bikeve.
3. Beşdar dê di konferansê de gelek mijarên têkildarî pirsgirêka kurd nîqaş bikin.
4. Îsal dê konferans bi pêşengiya kesên mîna Noam Chomsky û Yaşar Kemal pêk were.

He's of course not a Kurdish leader or anything but he's a world-famous leftist intellectual so having him as one of the organisers could bring prestige to the event.
