 SECTION A: COMPREHENSION

 QUESTION 1

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

 TEXT A

                       TECHNOLOGY AND OUR TEENAGERS

 1      Every day she sees worried and scared people in her office who, in a moment
        of madness or carelessness have done something regretful online. Often it is
        children who find themselves in over their heads, then their frantic parents
        turn to lawyers for help. Emma Sadleir, the country’s leading social media
        lawyer and author of Selfies, Sexts and Smart phones: Teenager’s Online      5
        Survival Guide says that sometimes it is too late.

 2      There are so many ways to get into trouble online – be it cyber bullying, or
        an ill-advised posting. Most of the time the drama and heartache could have
        been avoided. In her book, Emma Sadleir teams up with Dr Lizzie Harrison,
        a medical doctor with a degree in neuroscience and psychology, to paint a     10
        picture of what can go wrong. They agree that before children get their first
        cell phones, or have internet access for the first time, their parents should
        warn them of the pitfalls.

 3      The internet never forgets. Online posts stay forever. Even if you delete it,
        chances are that there is a copy somewhere. It does not matter if you are a    15
        ‘tech wizard’, you do not have any hope of removing it. Even if you delete it,
        many people have already taken a screenshot or downloaded your images.
        You cannot trace all of them and ask to delete it. If you make a stupid
        comment and people write about it you can delete the comment, but you
        cannot erase the posts where people are criticising you for things said.       20
        Privacy settings change every day, so there is no guarantee that posts will
        not become public.

 4      Even sending something to one person you trust, is risky. Ask yourself: is
        your ‘best friend forever’ still going to be that in five years? Or might you
        have a new best friend making the old one jealous enough to circulate the     25
        nasty private messages you sent years ago? Once content exits digitally, it
        can come back to haunt you. Even if you do not send anything, phones get
        stolen daily, especially at schools. Worst of all is that phones are stolen
        not for the device itself, but rather so photos, videos and messages could be
        used to extort money from the children who owned it.                          30

 5      Do not think using your ‘anonymous’ profile will allow you to bully or use hate
        speech without being caught. Every time you are online, you are given
        something called an IP (internet protocol) address. It is like an identity
        number and reveals information about where you logged on, what you did
        online and which device you were using. Once the police or an angry person 35
        has all the information, finding you becomes much easier. Remember when
        you signed up to a social network, you gave all your personal information.

        No platform owes you anything. If the police start asking questions, they will
        most likely hand over your personal and private information.

 6      Whatsapp groups are quite risky. If you are not active in a group, and a post   40
        is offensive or illegal, you are responsible. You have a choice to disassociate
        yourself by leaving or telling everyone you do not want to be a part of such
        posts. If you do not, it is interpreted to mean you approve of the content and
        are happy to remain associated with it. This makes you as responsible for it as
        the person who posted it.                                                       45

 7      Rather disassociate yourself from inappropriate content and avoid legal
        consequences.

TIPS FOR NERVOUS TRAVELLERS.

5.    Use your OWN words as far as possible.

TEXT C

                         TIPS FOR NERVOUS TRAVELLERS

For those who fly regularly, it is hard to believe that fear of flying can lead to acute
anxiety. Your fear can be conquered if you seek professional help before the flight.
Visit the airport often to see how many people are flying daily, going on adventures,
and how flying is a way of life.

Recognise the fearful thoughts and learn how to manage them. Mindfulness
meditation, the capacity to notice the thoughts and come back to an anchor point, will
help you to manage anxiety.

Make the journey enjoyable: bring something you really want to read, some enjoyable
snacks, put music onto your phone that you can listen to in-flight. Make some friends
on board as you will need company during the flight.

Choose your seat beforehand; preferably an aisle seat so that you can move around
easily when needed.

Try doing some deep-breathing exercises, for example, breathe in for a count of four
and breathe out for a count of eight. This will clear your mind and help you to relax. An
early night may be counter-productive as it helps to have less sleep so that you might
sleep more on the plane.

The more you fly, the more you practise getting used to flying. You can also develop
self-confidence and your capacity to manage flying. So let each flying experience be a
building block to the next.

QUESTION 5: LANGUAGE AND EDITING SKILLS

         and answer the set questions.

TEXT F
                 JUST DO FOR OTHERS WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU

1     When Suleman Bux opened his heart and grocery store to the family of a
      struggling student, he had no idea the young man would go on to become one of
      South Africas top jurists.

2     His generosity remained imprinted on newly appointed deputy chief justice
      Raymond Zondo’s memory for 40 years. It reduced him to tears during his   5
      recent interview for the post.

3     Zondo told the Commission the story of the man he knew as Mr Moosa, who
      kept his family fed so that he could pursue his dream of becoming a lawyer. For
      three years Bux, then a grocer, provided Zondo’s mother with monthly grocerys
      without expecting a cent in return.                                             10

4     When Zondo returns to repay Bux after obtaining his degree at the University of
      Zululand, the businessman refuses the money. ‘When he approached me about
      his education and the problem at home, I decided it was best to help his family.’

5     “I hoped I had chose the right person to assist. I see I made the right
      choice,” said Bux.                                                                            15

                           would go on to become one of South Africas top jurists.                (1)

                     (b)   His generosity remained imprinted on newly appointed deputy
                           chief justice Raymond Zondo’s memory for 40 years.                     (1)

                     (c)   For three years Bux, then a grocer, provided Zondo’s mother
                           with monthly grocerys without expecting a cent in return.              (1)

                     (d)   ‘I hoped I had chose the right person to assist’, said Bux.            (1)

         5.1.3       Rewrite the following sentence in reported speech:

                     Bux said, ‘I have helped Zondo, so it is up to him to do the same for
                     somebody else.’                                                              (4)
