This modern, western brand was seen as a "caffeinated intruder" which had no place in the ancient setting of the Great Wall of China, and their rejection of it was in favour of preserving a "solemn" symbol of "Chinese culture". /They are mostly tea-lovers. (words to this effect) Award 1 mark for noting Chinese disapproval Award a second mark for the reason for Chinese disapproval Award third mark for meaningful inclusion of reference to the text in support of answer. 1.14 Testing the waters = a trial run/experiment to see if the initiative would work. 1.15 Chinese are compared to sharks; implies that they strongly resisted the new western brand coming into their space.

NOT: 14 lines 3.2 "Love is not love …" 3.3 True love does NOT change or "alter", nor does it end: "… bears it out even to the edge of doom". It also does not quit when there are problems: "looks on tempests … never shaken". i.e. does not change each of these with reference to text (poem) for full does not end does not quit mark Accept any relevant answer that is clearly explained in response to the question. 3.4 Love is compared to a star (metaphor) that guides a little boat ("bark") at sea (on its journey). When life gets difficult, when our boats seem to be sinking, love can give us direction and hope, (explanation) or words to this effect. There is much to say in response to this question; not all of what is suggested in this marking guideline is necessary for 2 marks. 3.5 OPEN. Award marks for a clear opinion that is relevant to the question posed, and for which a reason is provided, as instructed. Possible answers: Yes: if people truly love, as in the sonnet, it will continue past death. OR No: people change, and life is complicated. Look at the divorce rate! REFUGEE MOTHER AND CHILD 3.6 Mary, the mother of Jesus, cannot prevent her son's death. Nor can the refugee mother. The poem's central message is that no matter who you are, it is painful to lose a beloved child. 3.7 It creates a sharp contrast with the lack of all basic freedoms experienced by refugees./Free verse vs no freedom for refugees (words to this effect).

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE: ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: PAPER I Page 6 of 8 MARKING GUIDELINES 3.8 Possible answers: The refugees illness is conveyed in "diarrhoea"; their lack of an hygienic environment "unwashed bodies"; their starvation in "washed-out ribs", "dried up bottoms" and "empty bellies"; their physical weakness in "struggling … laboured steps". Any one example explained. One mark for quote/example, one mark for explanation. 3.9 This suggests that this mother touched her son's hair often and naturally when she greeted him before he went to school. They had a normal life before./Before they became refugees./Before her son became ill/weak. 3.10 Flowers are carefully arranged on a grave; the mother is as careful with her son's hair now, since he is close to death/to his grave. 3.11 Both poems are about love. Both touch on the way that true love lasts, through very tough circumstances (refugee camp/death of a child/"doom"); in both, love provides something of value in an otherwise (nasty/hard/cruel/ difficult) life. Reward any reasonable, relevant response that shows thought beneath the obvious. QUESTION 4 MAKING MEANING OF POETRY UNSEEN POEM 4.1 B 4.2 "waterski" 4.3 The poet's desire that poetry be seen as less of a hard, dull, forced and flat chore is supported by the word "colour", since it has connotations of joy, fun, pleasure and life. 4.4 Focus on stanza 2: 4.4.1 The poem is compared to a (bee)hive. 4.4.2 hearing 4.5 The word "but" heralds the opposite side of the poem's message: it turns the reader's attention away from what the speaker wishes for his students, to what they actually do …/Indicates that a contrast is going to be introduced. 4.6 Unfortunately not./It is as if the students cannot imagine that poetry could possibly bring any joy. They seem so trapped (by years of formal education?) that they end up forcing "the" particular "meaning" out if it: they "tie it to a chair" (restrict its possibilities of interpretation), and even "beat it with a hose"./"Killing" of creativity.

Award 1 mark for a humour-creating example ; another mark for explaining its humorous effect. QUESTION 6 CARTOON 6.1 It (humorously) expresses the teacher's agitation/frustration about repeated stories from the students./Pause indicated by the ellipsis creates anticipation. 6.2 It indicates just how many of the "students" neglect their homework. 6.3 Usually school children make the excuse that the dog has eaten/destroyed their homework; here, dogs unexpectedly use the same excuse, thus creating humour and/or irony. 6.4 Annoyed/agitated/frustration/exasperation (accept any similar/valid); hands on hips 6.5 The teacher asked whether anyone there had not eaten his or her homework on the way to school.
