TEXT A IT IS IN THE BAG 1 Whether you live on your own or as a family, finding the time and energy to prepare home-cooked meals seems like a daunting task. Over the years, people have thought of different ways to minimise the time they spend cooking in order to have more time with family and friends. 2 The Wonderbag, which was invented in South Africa in 2008, is one product 5 which responded to this need. This product originated from Sarah Collins, an entrepreneur and social activist who had the desire to continue cooking during a national power outage. This award-winning, revolutionary, non-electric, heat- retention cooking bag comes in different sizes. It allows food that has been brought to the boil by conventional methods to continue to cook for up to 10 12 hours without using additional energy sources. 3 Through the years, the Wonderbag journey has been nothing short of inspiring. It is an innovative solution for Africa's most vulnerable communities and the environment. 4 Cooking with a Wonderbag saves a significant amount of money, water and 15 energy. The environmental benefits that automatically follow are enormous too. Just one Wonderbag used every day reduces up to 1,5 tons of carbon emissions annually. It also reduces exposure to indoor air-pollution by up to 60% in homes. It saves five trees annually from being cut down, therefore limiting deforestation. 5 When you use a Wonderbag, you invest in young people. The number of 20 children, who do at least two hours of household chores per day, almost doubles after they reach the age of 15. By the time they are adults, more than four hours are spent doing household chores every day, leaving precious little time for anything else. Wonderbag cooking saves many hours per year, giving these young adults more time to study. With every year of education, their earning 25 potential is increased, thereby creating a better opportunity for them. 6 The factories and sewing groups that produce Wonderbags provide communities with work they are paid to do. Many people who own a Wonderbag often start their own businesses, such as serving hot food straight out of the Wonderbag at local markets. They are also able to sell other crafts which they now have time 30 to make. Copyright reserved Please turn over

Users of the Wonderbag report utilising money saved by cooking in this innovative way to buy 35 more nutritious food and health supplements, such as vitamin tablets for their families. They, therefore, also report fewer health issues. 8 In 2020, over 60 000 Wonderbag non-electric slow cookers were produced as a well-timed response to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Wonderbag partnered with like-minded organisations such as the Community Chest and some 40 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to distribute these bags. Together, they helped families to achieve their potential while simultaneously helping to reduce carbon emissions through more fuel-efficient cooking. 9 'This bag has solved my problems. I can now cook anything I want without fear of burning the food,' reported Evelyn Wani. As a member of a community 45 farming group, she is very happy about this invention. The Wonderbag has been of great help since this group is able to carry their food to the farm land while it is cooking. They would not hesitate to strongly recommend this technology to others. Evelyn also says she used to burn a bundle of fire wood for every meal, but now she uses the same bundle for a week or more. Her eye problems have 50 also improved as she uses less wood. Evelyn feels that life is better now because of the Wonderbag. 10 The Wonderbag has made cooking fun and much easier for the whole family. People spend less time cooking and do not have to fight for space and time in the kitchen. They know that once their food is in the bag, they are done with 55 cooking and will have more free time to themselves or to socialise. [Adapted from wonderbagworld.com] 1.1 Refer to paragraph 1.

Read TEXT C below and list SEVEN points on the benefits of eating mushrooms. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Your summary must be written in point form. 2.

Indicate the total number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. TEXT C MUSHROOMS: THE SUPERFOOD More and more people are opting for a plant-based diet for various reasons. This does not necessarily mean that they are vegan or vegetarian. It simply means you choose to eat more food from plant sources. Mushrooms, which are also known as fungi, are popular in such diets as they have many benefits. Mushrooms are not seasonal vegetables since South African farmers cultivate them throughout the year. This makes them cost-effective for consumers. Including mushrooms in your diet allows you to reap the benefits of them being fat-free, low in sodium, low in calories and cholesterol-free. They are also packed with vitamins and minerals. Mushrooms have anti-inflammatory properties. Eating more fungi may provide supportive therapy for many conditions that become worse with long-lasting inflammation. They also have a meaty texture and taste and can be used to substitute the amount of meat that is suggested in a recipe. This will allow you to feed more mouths. In many cultures, mushrooms are used to enhance the flavour of certain dishes. Chopped mushrooms are often added to meat stews to improve the taste. Fibre in your diet fills you up for the whole day. It also prevents constipation. For these reasons, dieticians strongly recommend that you add more mushrooms to your daily diet. There are several recipe books which have mushroom-inspired recipes to choose from. These books are available in bookshops and online.
