QUESTION 1
Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions.
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.

7 The simple act of using a Wonderbag changes people's lives by allowing them
control over their finances as they save the money they would have spent
paying for charcoal or fuels like gas, paraffin and electricity. 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.

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.
