LANGUAGE AND EDITING SKILLS EXAMPLE 1 (From previous Monthly Tests) Question 4 Read the passage below, which contains some deliberate errors and answer the set questions ‘Not all teens do drugs’, says a clean teen It is difficult to pinpoint one clear reason that influence a child's decision to take drugs, since the situation is highly individual. It would appear, however, that a secure family unit is not a quarant_ of protection as some parents might belief. Some kids from happy homes get addicted, while kids from broke homes know where to draw the line. The answer lies within your child - does he know what the consequences of drug taking is? More important, does he care? ‘Many teenagers don't do drugs because they’re well informed,’ said a concerned mother. Knowledge is the most powerful tool parents and teachers can offer their children. Peer-pressure is another dominant element that causes drug abuse to spread among young people. A desire to be accepted in a group can also lead a youngster into falling in a trap. More often than not, ill-disciplined youth also coerce unsuspecting and innocent teenagers into drugs. It is therefore important for parents and children so that they can be to have a healthy relationship so that they can see early signs of getting into the habit.

EXAMPLE 2 EDITING AND LANGUAGE USE The following text has deliberate language errors in it. Read it carefully and tespond to the questions based on it. Question 4 tiow to deal with negativity on social media Tracey bangg, TV and radio personality lve been on social media for three years now, and most of my 1 interactions have been wonderful. But there are some horrible comments too. And even if they are few and far between, sometimes it's hard to deal with them because it seems so much easier to remember the bad than the good. Resently, someone on Twitter commented that they didn’t like my 2 laugh and the fact that | seem happy all the time. If I've been faking these things | wouldn't have cared, but I's just being myself. Surely, negative comments hurt! Part of what helped me through this experience was seeing the 3 positive messages, the people who thanked me for laughing and 10 making their day brighter. We all know that there are online trolls and people who are mean behind the mask of anonymity. Here’s my advise just in case it happens to you: Don't respond: You may want to retaliate, but it's much better to 4 step away and take a deep breath. 15 Get some perspective: This is the virtual world where people feel powerful in hiding, but they wouldn't say those things openly to you. Remember your worth: Focus on the meaningful people in your life and why they love and appreciate you. 20 4.1 Refer to line 1 What do we call the missing punctuation on the first sentence of the article in TEXT D?

TEXT A ASSISTED HOME NURSING Caregivers that care Chris Dunn Assisted Home Nursing offers 24/7 professional, personal and compassionate home- based care for the elderly or disabled in the comfort of their own home. Home-based care or assisted living is becoming increasingly important in today’s modern and fast- paced environment where career commitments often make it impossible for families to attend to the care of their loved ones. As an alternative to living in a nursing - or retirement home, assisted living allows the elderly or disabled who require some assistance, but not necessarily round-the-clock care, to remain at home surrounded by familiar comforts. By visiting with house-bound loved ones, Assisted Home Nursing franchises provide social interaction tat prevents them from becoming lonely and / or isolated, while also assisting with small tasks to make life easier. Care givin, also referred to as assisted living, is an alternative to those who choose to remain at home rather than to reside in a nursing or retirement home. Home care allows them to continue life in comfortable and familiar surroundings, perhaps even surrounded by pets they adore and do not want to give up. Assisted Home Nursing’s experienced staff are committed to providing professional and compassionate home- based-care. Each franchise provides wide ranging types of service from light housework and running errands to offering companionship, helping patients attend to their personal hygiene, meal preparation and post-hospital care. 10 15 20 Copyright reserved

English First Additional Language FAL/P1 February 2017 NSC TEXT B TEENAGE WORLD ! No one had ever thought of those between the ages of fifteen and nineteen as a specific social group until the Americans invented the term thirty years ago. It remained not much more than a name until after the war, when it occurred to the sales promotion specialists that here was something to be exploited - a new buying group which, if it could be given a sense of identity and cohesion, would bring moneyto those who catered for it. Teenage music, teenage clothes, teenage drinks and teenage amusements are mainly American inspired. The reason for their being conceived was to exploit the high school market in a more organised way using some creative advertising. Even the teenage idols are almost the same on both sides of the Atantic. The nationality may change but the look, the music and everything else that goes with it remains the same. And it is basically an all-American look. Understandably so. More South African teenagers have been influenced by the beat generationthan know anything about it. The magazines teenagers read, like their clothes and hair styles, are all heavily influenced by America. South Africa is no exception to this teenage revolution. Many a teenager in this country ignores the fact that he or she is South African. They have adopted the American way of life with zest. They can only be distinguished from the genuine American counterpart when they begin to speak. South Africans have an English accent of their own. So, no matter how American one can get, one is still South African in the main. eee SECTION TOTAL: 10 Copyright reserved

English First Additional Language NSC April 2017 SECTION A: COMPREHENSION PASSAGE QUESTION 1 Read the following passage (TEXT A) below and answer the questions which follow: TEXT A WE HAVE SIMPLE LIVES Many people’ ideas of the typical American is a loud person who boasts about their possessions and owns all the latest technology. The Amish are the complete opposite of this. 1 Most Americans would die without a car (or at least they think they would). The Amish don't have cars; they use horses. They don’t have electricity. They don’t need it because they don’t have radios, computers or anything electrical at all. Some people might feel sorry for them or think they are mad but this is the way that the Amish have chosen to live. They 5 think that we're the weird ones. 2 Amish people try to be as simple as possible. Modesty, family and community are the most important things to them. They don’t want to be part of the modern world as it is too complicated and corrupt. They live independently in their own community. They even have their own schools 10 which only have one or two classrooms. They learn reading, writing, math and morals. The big difference from regular American schoo! is that they learn nothing about the world outside of their community and they do not continue their education beyond eighth grade. 3 The Amish do not think their children need more school education after 15 the age of thirteen because they will either do farm work, carpentry or help with the family business. in 1972, the US supreme court allowed them to stop school at thirteen. 4 Amish people are not easy to interview. They are very private people and they don't like people taking their photographs. They say photographs 20 steal their souls and are a sign of vanity. The biggest Amish community in the USA is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where there are 18.000 Amish people. In the summer it is visited by millions of people. One Amish teenager said he felt like an animal in a zoo. Some visitors shout things such as ‘why are you so backward?, laugh at their clothes or knock their 25 hats off as a joke. They must feel angry when they are teased but demonstrating anger and violence are against the Amish beliefs. 5 — Unfortunately for the Amish, their appearance is perfect for photo-hungry tourists. They look like they are from a film about the eighteenth century. The women are not allowed to cut their hair, wear jewelry or make-up. 30 They aren’t even allowed to wear clothes with buttons because buttons are too fussy. Men have to wear suits and socks with a plain shirt. 3

English First Additional Language NSC April 2017 8 The Amish are a religious group that was started in the 1720s. They are | united in their beliefs. Many people can respect that but can’t understand \ how the Amish can live the way that they do. They are frequently asked 35 why they make life harder for themselves and when they will modernize themselves. In truth, most Amish communities have one telephone box for emergencies and perhaps one tractor for very heavy work. Communities often hold meetings to discuss whether to accept a particular aspect of the modern world and what effect it will have on them. 40 7 The young Amish are inevitably curious about things outside their community. Some occasionally listen to music or even try in-line Skating (using a bicycle is forbidden because it is too fast), but when they confirm their beliefs at age thirteen, they promise to accept Amish rules and reject such things. Only one in five leave the Amish community. The Amish say 45 this shows that people enjoy living the way that they do.

TEXT B School leavers should know that they have a better chance to secure employment if they are qualified beyond matric. The world is continuously changing and there is an increasing demand for skilled people. If further study is difficult because of financial reasons, a bursary could solve the problem. A part-time job could pay for tuition too. Alternatively, a person could work as an apprentice at a company that provides training. Career specialists warn that studying further does not guarantee employment. Young people often enroll for courses not suited to their personality, interests or ability. Learners are therefore advised to become actively involved in finding the field of study that suits them best.

English First Additional Language NSC April 2017 Job-shadowing is one way of learning more about a particular field or job. If a person visits someone's workplace, for example, it is easier to visualize what a typical day in a particular job looks like. | A degree is not the only qualification that could improve a job seeker’s chances of employment. Short courses also develop skills that are in demand like communication skills, organizational skills and computer skills. Some school leavers may need to take a year off if plans for the following year were not in place. Volunteer work is a good way for young people to learn more about themselves and be inspired. It is ultimately important that school leavers take charge of their future. They should read more about Jobs, courses and bursaries, and talk about their choices with others.

Everything is done to make sure talented kids fully explore their passion for the creative arts, 5 What you study there The Brit school centres its studies on the performing arts. Singing, dancing, music, theatre, TV and film production are all on the curriculum, as well as academic subjects like maths and English. Students enter the schoo! when they are 14 and 16.

Speech When you write a speech, think about the following before you start and adapt accordingly: HOW: What style to use (serious, humorous, etc.? Will you placate, encourage, etc.? Will you be aggressive, gentle, truthful, diplomatic? WHEN: When are you speaking? The main speaker? After dinner, interval, in the morning, afternoon, evening? WHERE: At a christening, wedding, business lunch, school function. In a yacht, hall, lounge? Around a table? WHY: What is the purpose of the occasion? Why have YOU been invited to speak? WHO: Who will be there? How many? Young / older audience / athletes / businessmen! women? WHAT: ¢ Show conviction, enthusiasm and self-confidence in the planning stage and it will show in your presentation. e Astrong (clever) opener will attract attention Develop your points well and avoid clichés. Decide where you should pause and where to use gestures (naturally) and for what purpose. (Keep eye-contact.) Use contrasting tones (and points) but remain audible. Use fairly short sentences with simple ideas, using familiar examples. Balance criticisms with reasonable alternatives. Consider the closing. Leave the audience with a thought (or two). Visual or physical aids may be used, but your words must come first. You may use notes, but only for reference. Avoid irritating mannerisms. Use language that expresses your maturity, values and background. Swearing, crudity and profanity are unacceptable. See example below: Today, 20 July, a number of decades ago, a child was born. The scream, the yawn, the gentle snore — and he still snores Gloria tells me - decades later, has turned into an archatype of human perfection. A teacher, a father, a brother, a husband, a colleague and a preacher we celebrate today. Incredible you would say, that he is crying now. That is him, a cry baby. Our wish for you today, your birthday, is to strive to remain true to the course you did not choose, the course our Father mapped out for you. We pray that today will bring you closer and closer to attaining your dreams while remaining true to your course. You are the pride of our nation and an immeasurable measure of joy in our lives. | May you be flooded with wealth, joy and happiness henceforth. Happy birthday my brother.

Dialogue Adialague is a conversation between two or more people. It is a record of the exchanges as they occur, directly from the speaker's point of view. When writing a dialogue; « write the names of the characters on the left side of the page; * use acolon after the name of the character who is speaking; ® use a new line to indicate each new speaker; © advice to characters (or readers) on how to speak or present the action must be given in brackets before the words are spoken; ¢ sketch a scenario before you start writing. See example below. (Siphon and Thembyo have not completed a task given to them by their teacher. They are contemplating bunking the class.) Siphon: Good morning Thembyo? Thembyo: (wearing a frown) There is nothing good about this morning my friend. | hope yours is better. Siphon: if it is about the writing task we are expected to submit today, then you are not alone. Thembyo: (with a twinkle in his eyes) You know what? Siphon: | do not have to know anything. | knaw what that look means. Thembyo: Do you know me that much? My friend, you know what they say about desperate measures. Why don't we bunk the English period. We can cook a better story to explain our absence than to sit in class and be told the failures we are. Siphon: Just why did I choose you for a friend. You have more tricks up your sleeve than the devil himself. Bunk classes? My answer is an emphatic no. | made my bed, so, | must lie in it. Thembyo: Ok ‘Mr Morals’. Let us see what Lisbeth, with whom you are so smitten, will think of you after the dressing down you will receive in class. Siphon: When is the English period again? | think | have spoken enough English today to miss out today's. Thembyo: (with a victorious smile) And { thought | was the devil? Siphon: Do you have to rub it in? Thembyo: (with a grin on his face) By the way, you better have a good reason for our missing the class for the teacher tomorrow. Otherwise, Lisbeth ... Siphon: (resignedly) | should have courted the devil himself.

Interview An interview is, in many ways, similar to a dialague. The major difference is that the one speaker probes the other by asking questions. The result is more often than not, what the interviewer wanted to portray of the interviewee, i.e. their strong points, talents, weak points, etc. As with the dialogue; e the names of the speaker are given on the left side of the page; ¢ acolonis used after the name of the character who is speaking; ¢ anewline is used to indicate each new speaker. NB: IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MOST JOURNALISTIC REPORTS ARE A RESULT OF AN INTERVIEW. See the example below: Zwelakhe Shangase (Zwe) interviews Ray Levin (Ray), Kia SA Chief Executive Officer, about the 2010 team busses handed over to FIFA. Zwe: Good day, Ray? How many buses did your company hand aver to FIFA? Ray: Good day, Zwe. Thirty-two buses were handed over to FIFA yesterday. Zwe: What will he busses be used for? Ray: The buses will transport teams, members of the organizing committee, other FIFA official, referees and the media, between hotels and stadiums. Zwe: What features do the buses have, Ray? Ray: These 54-seater busses are equipped with two bar fridges, a toilet, cameras mounted on the rear window and a monitor on the dashboard to give the driver a clear view when reversing. Zwe: Are team allocated individual busses, or (chuckling) can we have different teams in the same bus, Ray? Ray: That's good one, Zwe, Each team is allocated a personalised Hyundai Universe Express Noble Bus decorated with the team flag and slogan. For example, the bus that ferry Bafana Bafana will display the slogan: ‘One team united under one rainbow and the South African flag. Zwe: This must have cost Kia and Hyundai an arm and a leg. Ray: It did not come cheap, Zwe. The busses cost R2-million each and were manufactured specifically for the World Cup. Zwe: Finally, Ray, what is going to happen to the busses after the World Cup? Ray: The busses will be sold to defray some costs. Zwe: Thank you very much for the information, Ray. | Ray: You are welcome. |

FOR THE RECORD: The above interview was developed from a newspaper article by Z. Shangase (The Times, 21 May 2010). Refer to statement made in NB. Review A review is an individual's response to a work of art, film, book, occasion, etc. The reviewer projects his/her ‘judgement’ to the work presented. The reader of the review does not have to agree with the reviewer. A review is, as a result, subjective. Two reviewers may respond differently to the same text. For example, ane reviewer may project Lord of the Flies as a base, adventure story of boys who find themselves on an island and, through some work of fate, are rescued. This reader/reviewer may find it unacceptable that the novel was even prescribed. To the other reviewer, this may be a thought-provoking piece of work that seeks to show how evil man can be, left all by himself, without rules. This reader/reviewer may support it being a prescribed text as it will instil some morals in the learners. When writing a review, the following must be covered: * Give relevant facts, for example, the name of the author/praducer/artist, the title of the book/work, the name of the publisher/production company, as weil as the price (where applicable). * Discuss, briefly: fo eet bot Boy Ste The genre The setting Characterization Style of writing The atmosphere The plot - only the outline of the story Conclusion and suitability Your judgement and rating. Publishers, bookshops, magazines or newspapers offer reviews to their readers. A review is always given on the blurb of a book (inside the cover of a book - or on the back cover) or on a separate flier or pamphlet.

Adapted from Indwe, Apri! 2010 Newspaper article When called to write a newspaper article, the reporter should to state facts briefly but accurately. The article must not be long-winded, including unnecessary detail. The reporter must strive to communicate the essence without losing the reader. The following approach is recommended: Summarise accurately, without slanting the truth. Give a succinct title and add a clear sub-title. Start with the most important facts: the who, what, how, when, where, why and to what degree. ° The least important details will be cut out (cropped) first from the bottom up if the article needs to be shortened (for space). If there is extra space, then details can be added. In other words, the longer the article, {he more trivial details can be added. ° See the scenarios suggested below: Awedding: Discuss the church, flowers, music, dress of the bride and groom, mention who they are, their entourage, the service, minister, reception, food, speeches and names of some of the guests. A sports function: The event; teams; coaches, supporters, play, result. Your impressions and some ideas for improvement? An accident: Give the facts: The nature of the accident; who was involved; what happened; how it happened; injuries; role of the ambulance and police service, etc. Add labelled drawing of accident scene if necessary. Add some comment about the number of accidents and why (in your view).

An example of a newspaper article Stranded fishermen rescued A dramatic air and sea rescue operation had a happy ending yesterday when two fishermen were found washed up on a beach in a remote diamond area of the Northern Cape. Pascale van Rooyen, 49, and Andries Klaase, 23, said they spent the night praying in the thick fog after their outboard engine broke down during a mission to find crayfish and they drifted out of cell phone reception with only one oar. They had set off from the Hondeklip Baai earlier in the day, in tandem with another boat that also suffered engine failure, but whose crew managed to row ashore. An earlier search for them was called off due to thick fog. They were found on a remate stretch of beach in a restricted diamond area. Bobby Jordan Source: The Times, 21 May 2010 Magazine article When writing a magazine article, consider the following: e The heading must be attractive and interesting e The article should be beautifully illustrated or excellent (colour) photographs should accompany the article. © The style should be personal, speaking directly to the reader. e The style can be descriptive and figurative, appealing to the imagination of the readers. « Names, places, times, positions and any other necessary details should be included in the article. « Thearticle should stimulate interest and, like an advertisement, encourage the reader to use the product or service. « So, in some ways, this article is a kind of review, promoting a product or service. Paragraphs should not be too fong, encouraging the reading of the article. The font should be light and attractive. Example of a magazine article WIZARD OF WALTZ Dutch maesiro plays his first shows in South Africa. ANDRE RIEU is almost solely responsible for the renewed popularity of classical music in South Africa. it should come as no surprise then that tickets to the popular Dutch violinist, conductor and composer's first-ever South African performances with his 50-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra at Sun City, Durban and Cape Town are selling faster than Rieu can fly through his octaves on his Stradivarius.

The 59-year ald from Maastricht plans to get audiences out of their seats and jigging in the aisles. Last year, Rieu was the world’s most successful male touring artist. Taking into account that the only person who ever openly criticised his music was an Aussie, he should be an enormous it with the locals, including South African rugby fans.

Ceremonies vividly capture for the sake of memory the significance and meaning of people and events. They remind us how we are constituted by our connectedness and belonging. With each change in the social and emotional landscape of our lives, we are forced in a sense to relearn our world. We are challenged to create a sense of coherence and incorporate our new status, role and identity. Ceremonies provide a framework that enables all concerned to relate to the role. Ritual shapes and organises the behaviour of all participants to conform to our new role and status. Rituals are, therefore, always conducted in the presence of people who need to participate in witnessing and responding to the significance of the new role. Source: The Times, 02 June 2010
