2022 WORKBOOK | Grade ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE 12 HOW TO PREPARE FOR PAPER 2 - LITERATURE 1. Pay attention in class. 2. Read the stories, not a summary of the stories. 3. Make notes, underline, highlight while your teacher explains. 4. Ask questions if you do not understand. 5. Work out old Grade 12 examination papers. They are available at www.dbe.pastpapers. 6. You should know every single little detail of each work you study. 7. Keep a list of the names of all the characters – even if a character only makes one appearance. 8. You should be able to place the extract in context. That means you should know what happens immediately before and after the extract. 9. You should be able to explain, discuss and even give your own view. Therefore, it is incredibly important that you understand the story and that you can refer to other incidents or characters in the story to discuss your opinion. 10. Understand the themes in the story. 11. Be able to discuss the characteristics of a person in the story. 12. When you answer a question, underline the different parts of the question. Often TWO questions are asked in one sentence. You should “unpack” the question. Do not be afraid to answer such a question in more than one sentence. 13. Do not quote unless you are asked to do so. This rarely happens and is usually limited to “quote one word”. Therefore, it is good to use synonyms. 14. Write everything you know. One sentence is often not enough to earn marks. 15. “Talk” to the examiner. He does not know what you think. It should be written down! 16. If you are asked the following: “What do you think of …” the answer is not about you. The examiner wants to test whether you know the text well enough. You should use your knowledge of the text in your answer. This is called substantiation. You should motivate your answer from your knowledge of the novel, drama, story or poem. If you are asked whether you like Thami/John Khumalo/Mr Hyde or not, use examples from your knowledge of the story to motivate/substantiate your answer. Do not QUOTE. Make a list of all the DoDdo Read all characters. Where Use do they fit into the SYNONYMS. your story / drama? texts Understand the THEMES.

Not for want of trying, believe me. Your mother left you in a phone booth, inside a Tesco shopping bag. You were only a few hours old, and a boy called Julian found you on his paper round and brought you here. We fostered you and applied for adoption. The authorities put us through hell before they eventually capitulated and allowed us to be your parents. 5 The battle was worth it and we were very proud.’ Chester, your mother read about Julia in the papers, and when she was looking for a good home for you, she wrote asking us to have you. She felt she couldn’t look after you herself, because she was expecting twins, and the babies’ father didn’t want another child on his hands. She knew we were Christians, and hoped you would get 10 the love you needed from us. She was Nigerian. We tried to trace her, but she had disappeared. The most important thing is that to us you are our children, and we love you both very much.’ Now it was Chester’s turn to stare at the tablecloth.

Pepsi vs. Coke: What's Really the Difference? By Eric Reed 1 The orange juice in your refrigerator probably came from Coca Cola. The oatmeal you eat with it? That's probably a Pepsi product. In fact, together these two companies make up a massive proportion of the drinks and snacks you may have daily. 2 These two companies have expanded enormously since their founding in the 5 late 19th century. Still, their core mission remains: winning the cola wars. Ever since Coke and Pepsi hit the shelves they have been direct competitors, a head-to-head that by now has become a part of American culture. 3 Coke was invented in 1886 by a chemist named John Pemberton. While specific stories vary, most records agree that Pemberton was trying to create 10 an anaesthetic syrup. (Some records indicate that Pemberton, a war veteran, was trying to replace morphine, to which he had become addicted.) 4 Regardless of his plan, what Pemberton actually invented was a combination of the coca leaf and kola nut that had relatively little true pharmaceutical benefit. However, a quirk of history saved the drink from historical irrelevance. When 15 Pemberton invented his syrup, pharmacies typically had soda fountains in them. While customers didn't love it as a medicine, when mixed with tonic water to create a soda, they thought it made a great treat. The original recipe contained cocaine and the company still uses a non-narcotic coca leaf extract. 5 Pepsi was launched to directly compete with Coke. Again, because people 20 once got their soda and castor oil at the same place, Pepsi was invented by a pharmacist. Caleb Bradham created his product and labelled it, inventively, "Brad's Drink". Bradham later renamed the drink “Pepsi Cola” because he believed it helped with dyspepsia. 6 As a product, customers generally prefer Coke. The red can of cola is one of 25 the most popular products in the world, in some places more common than clean water. As a business, however, the market increasingly prefers Pepsi. At time of writing PepsiCo's stock sold for $117.09 against Coke's $49.83. The reason is diversity. 7 In recent years the American market in particular has trended away from sugary 30 drinks like colas. Although both companies have long diversified into a wide range of other drink classes, such as juice, sports drinks and bottled water, many analysts particularly see the future in healthy drink classes. Pepsi is seen as having occupied that market more successfully than Coke. 8 More importantly, PepsiCo isn't just a beverage company. Coca-Cola has 35 made what's known as a "pure play" in drinks. The company has worked harder than Pepsi to establish a global brand, and has been far more successful in marketing its core product line (Coke itself). On the other hand, after its merger Page 11
2022 WORKBOOK | Grade ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE 12 with Frito-Lay in the 1960s, Pepsi made a push into snack foods such as potato chips, oatmeal and (in more recent years) hummus. This is a market Coca-Cola hasn't entered 35 at all. 9 So that's the history, but what's the difference when the fizz hits the ice? 50 10 Part of it is a single ingredient: that coca leaf extract. Coke can get it, Pepsi can't. The Coca-Cola company imports coca leaves stripped of their narcotic properties through a New Jersey importer. Coca-Cola sources these leaves from Peru, where virtually every tourist drinks them as part of the abundant coca tea. Pepsi makes up for that 55 with citric acid, which Coke does not include in its listed ingredients. But that's just what's going on behind the scenes. Here's how it plays out in your 11 mouth: Coke has a vanilla-raisin, almost molasses taste to it. Pepsi has a citrus, lemony flavour. The flavour of Pepsi is sweeter so it's stronger initially and you taste it 60 faster. Coke is less sweet and a little bit smoother than Pepsi. Pepsi has more sugar and caffeine than Coke. As Malcom Gladwell wrote in "Blink", in which he discusses the differences at length, "Pepsi, in short, is a drink built to shine in a sip test." So there it is. What's the difference between Coke and Pepsi? A little bit of sugar and a whole lot of history. 12 [Adapted from: https://www.thestreet.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/pepsi-vs-coke] 65 1.1 Refer to paragraph 1.

TIPS on Answering the comprehension test ♥ Immediately highlight the heading. ♥ Read and highlight the first sentence of each paragraph. The main idea of each paragraph usually presents itself in the first sentence. ♥ Now reflect → what is the extract about? ♥ Read the questions → this is important as you will have these questions in the back of your mind when you read the text. ♥ Now you read the entire comprehension passage. ♥ When reading any question, you need to ensure you read the entire question right to the end. Break it down and ensure you truly “get” what is expected. ♥ Language errors do not count in the Comprehension but that does not mean that you can write incomprehensive gibberish. The way in which you answer the questions, is important. ♥ Look at the mark allocation for each question as this indicates how many facts you need to supply. Page 12

Change two or three words in the sentence. If you try to change every single word, you might lose the meaning or context of the sentence. ♥ To quote from the text, you need to do the following: • A quote is a perfect picture of what is printed in the text. Should you copy one part of one word incorrectly, it is wrong. • You could be asked to quote ONE word → write ONE word only. • If you are asked to quote THREE CONSECUTIVE words = write THREE words that follow one another perfectly from the text. • You could be asked to quote a phrase → remember that a phrase does not have a verb, so your quote should not have a verb in it. Ask yourself: When is a sentence a sentence? • Remember to use quotation marks when quoting: Example: “John, the young man” Page 14
2022 WORKBOOK | Grade ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE 12 ♥To answer to a question “Why? / Is this the name? / Does this …? / Do you agree?” you need to give your opinion and apply it.

Yes, according to the passage “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”. • If you give your answer with a reason and say: I agree because … ♥To give the meaning of an expression or asked why idiom or expression is suitable in the passage: • The idiomatic expression is suitable because it applies to … and then you give the meaning of the expression followed by the reason why it works so well in the passage. ♥To give reasons why for example, “This is an old, familiar, trusted friend.” • Do not explain the three sections as one. Address first “old”, then “familiar” and then trusted”. • Find the reasons from the passage but answer them in your own words. • Discuss each of the reasons you will have mentioned. • Underline that which will guide the marker to the essence of your answer. • For example: *The friend is described as old because in the passage it is said that … * He is also described as familiar because … * He is seen as trusted because … ♥If asked to describe how something makes you feel, you write the following: • *It makes me feel (emotion like sad/ happy/..), because … ♥Why is the title suitable? • You always have to say that it is suitable / be positive about it and say that: • *It emphasises the … • *It draws attention to … • *It is a pun because it says …. (One thing is said and another is meant.) ♥To answer the question: “What is implied? Why is it ironic? Why is he sarcastic?” • When the unexpected or opposite is revealed or when there is a twist to the tale.
