 SECTION A: COMPREHENSION

 QUESTION 1

 Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions.

 TEXT A

                                 FROM MY HEAD TO YOURS!

 1       A woman’s hair is an important characteristic and the focus of hours of
         regular, careful attention. To choose to cut it all off is one thing – to lose it to
         chemotherapy is another.

 2       Lise van Breda grew her hair for her wedding day, and shortly afterwards
         decided to cut it and donate it to the Cancer Association of South Africa  5
         (CANSA). ‘It was not an act of bravery, but it was symbolic. It meant that
         one phase of my life was over, and marriage meant entering a new one. I
         also knew my hair would grow again.’

 3       Lise believes in giving. ‘I donate blood every month. I am a stem cell donor
         and on the list for bone marrow donation for leukaemia. I still need to      10
         become an organ donor. As long as I have a healthy lifestyle and can give
         something to someone who needs it, I will. I have good, strong hair, so why
         not give that?’

 4       ‘I found instructions on the CANSA website on how to go about donating,’
         she says. ‘I thought you could not donate your hair if you colour it, but I 15
         discovered that CANSA accepts it.’

 5       Lise hopes to encourage other women to donate their hair and help others.
         It is easy and non-threatening, so more people should be doing it.

 6       According to statistics, 115 000 South Africans are diagnosed with cancer
         yearly, with breast cancer being the leading cancer in women.                          20

 7       CANSA runs awareness and fundraising campaigns. During the annual
         Shavaton people can donate their hair or pay to have it sprayed. The
         Shavatons take place at shopping centres around the country. ‘People
         phone us to say they are growing their hair for us,’ says Lucy, head of
         marketing and communication at CANSA.                                   25

 8       We just cut the ponytail then they go to a hairdresser for a new hairstyle.
         They donate their hair because they want to show support and unity with
         cancer patients and survivors. ‘It is a powerful, fascinating gift.’

 9       Those who cut their hair at a salon, must tie it in a ponytail that is 25 cm or
         longer because length is lost when making a wig. It must be sealed in a         30
         zip-lock bag and taken to a CANSA Care Centre. The hair is sent off to the
         wigmakers in batches of 300 g. It takes about ten ponytails to make a
         complete wig.

 10      Rani Chetty of Tymeless Necessity Hair, wig-making company, has
         partnered with CANSA. She says the hair is cleaned to remove any                35
         chemicals, then strands are sewn together, using a wefting machine. Wefting
         enough hair for a wig takes about five days. After that, the ‘rows’ of hair are
         sewn into the wig cap by hand.

 11      A cancer patient can donate their hair, for the outer layer, so that their own
         hair falls around their face. The head shrinks when people undergo             40
         chemotherapy, so wigs have flexible bands. If patients cannot afford a wig,
         they can choose one at a CANSA Care Centre.

 12      Cancer survivor Mrs Steyn, who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer,
         began losing her hair after three chemotherapy sessions. She cut it all off
         as she did not want bald spots on her head. ‘After losing my hair I realised 45
         how much it meant to me. I had low self-esteem because I was losing my
         hair.’

 13      Getting a wig for free at CANSA and having hair has restored her confidence.
         ‘Many women having chemotherapy struggle with loss of hair but cannot
         afford wigs. I am grateful to women who donate their hair                    50
         because they make us beautiful and help us feel better about ourselves.’

 SECTION B: SUMMARY

 If we do not know how to use our medication, we might not feel better.

 Read TEXT C below and list seven tips on how to use our medicines correctly.

 TEXT C

                     HOW TO USE OUR MEDICINES CORRECTLY

 Medicines are modern miracles and without them it is likely that many of us would
 not feel better. Unfortunately, most of us do not know how to get the most out of our
 medication. It is important to know how to use it correctly.

 Medicines do not interact the same with everybody, so do not share your medication
 with other people even if they have the same symptoms as you. Some medications
 in pill form are designed to be released over time, so it is not a good idea to crush or
 chew them as it could lead to an overdose or a higher risk of side effects.

 Shaking your bottle of medicine before using it dissolves active ingredients. If you do
 not, you will not receive the right dose.

 Some medicines are meant to be taken at night and others in the morning. For our
 medicine to work, we must take it on time.

 Manufacturers give medicines expiry dates based on stability and quality testing.
 After this date it could cause an upset stomach or skin rash. Never take medicines
 that have expired.

 Taking tablets with grapefruit juice and hot drinks is a definite no as it can cause
 problems, so take it with water instead.

 Not all natural remedies are required to have a licence, so they are not always safer.
 Medicines must always be used with the necessary caution.

 QUESTION 5: LANGUAGE AND EDITING SKILLS

 5.1    Read the passage (TEXT F) below, which contains some deliberate errors, and
        answer the set questions.

 TEXT F

                              What is the Spirit of Ubuntu?

 1      “Umntu Ngumntu Ngabantu” or “I am, because you are” is how we describe the
        meaning of Ubuntu. It speaks to the fact that we are all connected and that one
        can only grow and progress through the growth and progression of others.
        Ubuntu has since been used as a reminder for society on how we should be
        treat others.                                                                   5

 2      Mandela is the true definition of Ubuntu, as he used this concept to lead South
        Africa to a peaceful post apartheid transition. He never had the intent of teaching
        our oppressors a lesson. Instead, he operated with compassion and integrity,
        showing us that for us to be a better South Africa, we cannot act out of
        vengeance or retaliation, but out of peace.                                         10

 3      Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who led the Truth and Reconciliation
        Commission in 1996, also touched on the meaning of Ubuntu and how it defines
        us as a society. “We think of ourselves far too frequent as just individuals,
        separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do
        affects the whole world,” he said. “When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the 15
        whole of humanity.”

 4      We all have a lot to learn from this beautiful Southern African philosophy.

                                                          [Adapted from www.globalcitizen.org]

INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS

1. Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.

2. This marking guideline serves as a guide to markers. Some responses may require
   a marker’s discretion.

3. Candidates’ responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.

MARKING THE COMPREHENSION

x   Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in
    responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the meaning/
    understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)

x   If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
    disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.
    However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
    answer, this will be acceptable.

x   For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I
    DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered.

x   When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
    mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted.

x   When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
    two/three.

x   Accept dialectal variations.

x   For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the correct
    answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.

x   Coherent and relevant quotes from the passage are acceptable. The response must
    answer the question.

 1.12 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

        Yes. It is exciting to know that you are giving your hair willingly to people who
        need it. Donating your hair is a compelling gift and you are making a difference
        in the life of a fellow human being.

                                                  OR

        No. Nowadays males and females love beautiful hairstyles, so donating their hair
        will be very difficult. Most people prefer having their hair sprayed or donating
        money.

        NOTE:        Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for an
                     answer that is not well-substantiated.
                     Accept a combination answer.                                                   (2)

 1.13 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

        Yes. The title is suitable because it is linked to the article which provides the
        reader with information about donating hair and making a difference in the lives
        of cancer patients. The article also teaches us how wonderful it is to donate
        some of our own hair so someone else can have hair and feel better about
        themselves. Donating hair means that it goes from the donor’s head to someone
        else’s.

                                                  OR

        No. The title is not suitable because it only concentrates on making wigs for
        women who have cancer. Many men lose their hair when they undergo
        chemotherapy and feel unhappy about not having hair. Wigs should be available
        for such men too.

        NOTE:        The above answer is merely an example. Accept a suitable response
                     which shows that the candidate has understood the passage and how
                     the title leads to it AND is able to provide substantiation. A candidate
                     can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-substantiated.                 (2)

 1.18 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

        Yes. This organisation gets numbers from the charity organisations they work
        with, so it is seen as accurate. The organisation does not work with individuals
        on the street for example. You must be part of an organisation to benefit.

                                              OR

        No. Organisations do not reach all people in need of food, so the numbers are
        much higher than indicated. Many people are not aware that they can get food
        from these organisations.

        NOTE: Accept any other relevant response that is well-substantiated. A
              candidate can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-
              substantiated.                                                                  (2)

QUESTION 3: ANALYSING AN ADVERTISEMENT

3.1 Mothers/People with (minor) wounds/cuts/abrasions 9                                    (1)

3.2 Aqua Protect 9
    Antibacterial 9

     NOTE: Accept any ONE of the above answers.                                            (1)

3.3 B/against 9                                                                            (1)

3.4 Elastoplast is the best/there is no better wound care brand on the market. 9           (1)

3.5 The advertiser guarantees that water cannot go through the Elastoplast 9 so
    wounds stay dry. 9                                                                     (2)

3.6 The boy probably fell from his bicycle/hurt his knee 9so the woman/his mother
    puts an Elastoplast plaster on the wound. 9                                            (2)

3.7 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

     Yes. Elastoplast can be used for the whole family. It is small enough to carry
     around, so it can be used even if you are not at home. It is a good idea to use
     Elastoplast as it prevents bacteria from going into wounds.

                                            OR

     No. Elastoplast is expensive so not every household will have it. It is very small
     so it can only be used to take care of cuts and grazes and not serious wounds.

     NOTE: Accept any other relevant response that is well-substantiated. A
           candidate can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-
           substantiated.                                                                  (2)
                                                                                          [10]

 QUESTION 4: ANALYSING A CARTOON

 4.1 4.1.1      It is not a real tiger / Calvin’s stuffed toy. 9                           (1)

       4.1.2    It means showing something to your teacher/classmates 9 and telling
                them what you know about it. 9/ Calvin must show his toy tiger to his
                teacher/classmates 9 and tell them something about it. 9                   (2)

 4.2 4.2.1      Calvin means that Hobbes will not be able to breathe 9and will
                die. 9                                                                     (2)

       4.2.2    His hair is raised. 9
                He hugs his tiger. 9                                                       (2)

 4.3 ‘Whew’ 9                                                                              (1)

 4.4 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

       Yes. Calvin was frantic when the teacher told him to put his tiger in his locker
       because he knew he would need help with his mathematics. It is very funny
       that he thinks Hobbes will be able to help him. Unfortunately for him Hobbes
       ends up giving him a completely wrong answer. So, keeping Hobbes with him
       does not help much.

                                                 OR

       No. Calvin is stubborn and disobedient. He should have listened to his teacher
       and put Hobbes in the locker. The tiger distracts him, and the rest of the class
       is probably distracted too.

       NOTE:     Accept any other relevant response that is well-substantiated. A
                 candidate can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-
                 substantiated.                                                            (2)
                                                                                          [10]
