        SECTION A: COMPREHENSION

        QUESTION 1

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

        TEXT A
                                          BULLYING
1.      The definition of bullying by the U.S. Department of Education and by many
        Psychologists is explained as unwanted physical or verbal aggression directed
        at a specific person and repeated over a period. It also involves an imbalance
        of power aimed at excluding the victim from a group.

2.      It is characterized by the bully repeatedly using the higher social status they          5
        have over the victim to exert power and to hurt the victim. When name calling,
        gossiping, rumour spreading, threats, or other forms of intimidation expand
        from being done in person or by phone to using of emails, chat rooms, or other
        social media platforms, it is referred to as cyber bullying.

3.      In contrast, hazing is part of initiation of the victim into a group and meanness        10
        does not involve an imbalance of power. Furthermore, meanness involves
        hurtful behaviours between people who are equals, in social standing and
        otherwise.

4.      Bullying does not only occur between children at school. It can also happen

        at work and it includes behaviour like verbal abuse, sabotaging the victim’s job         15

        or work relationship, or abuse of authority.

5.      Teenagers who bully others are at risk of being engaged in delinquent behaviour
        at school and in the community. They are likely to be involved in substance
        abuse and drop out of school. Bullies and victims tend to experience depression
        more than their peers who were never involved in bullying, which can lead                20
        to academic problems, frequent absence from school and social isolation.
        Research also shows that bullies and their victims may have Attention Deficit

        Hyperactivity Disorder. People who were bullies or victims of bullying as children
        may have poorer physical and financial health and more anti-social behaviour.
        Bullying or being the victim of bullying increases the risk of engaging in self-         25
        harm as well as suicidal thoughts.

6.      Other signs indicating that a child is bullied include missing belongings,
        unexplained injuries and limited number of friends. Physical symptoms include
        headaches, stomachaches, changes in appetite and bedwetting.

7.      Child Pschychologists suggest that if parents discover that their child is bullied,      30
        they should encourage him/her to talk about it. Remaining calm and reassuring
        the youth that they are not to blame for their victimization can go a long way in
        creating a climate that helps the victim feel comfortable to talk about it. The
        parent should obtain details about the circumstances of the bullying incident.
        The victim may also find it helpful to stay with other pupils or a teacher so that       35
        the bully has less opportunity to engage in aggressive behaviour.

8.      Other ways to stop bullying at school include parents contacting the school
        to seek help in alleviating the abuse, while at the same time understanding
        that school personell are often unaware that bullying takes place and the child
        may fear reprisals for having school authorities alerted.                                40

9.      If parents notice that their child bullies others, they may talk to him/her and
        share the details of the incident of which he/she was accused and listen to
        his/her side of the argument. Hold your child fully and fairly accountable for
        their actions. Spend more time with the child, monitor his/ her activities and
        supervise them appropriately. Such parents should contact the school to monitor          45
        any further incidents and motivate the child to engage in positive social activities.

10.     Bullying prevention school campaigns should involve pupils, teachers, parents
        and administrators to discuss means of eradicating it. Informing parents about
        it, can improve the victim child’s quality of life. Anti-bullying programs also teach
        pupils who witness bullying to stand up for victims so that bullying behaviour           50
        gains stigma rather than being socially beneficial.

1       Preparing for examinations can be stressful, but it does not have to be. You
        may need to gauge the amount of time needed to study for the subject.
        If the study material is challenging for you to comprehend, start studying early
        to give yourself enough time to grasp content.
        It is equally important to compare the length and quality of your notes with
        those of other learners and content in your text books.

2       The syllabus is an outline of everything to be studied therefore highlight topics
        and subheadings. As you read through the book, write down important
        details. Ensure that your notes comprehensively cover the syllabus.

3       Some books have summaries of different topics. If you have no idea of what
        the summary is referring to, re-read those specific topics.

        of different papers and how questions are formulated and answered. Practise
        the questions from different Papers and re-do those that you got wrong.

5       Based on evidence from research, a full night’s sleep is necessary before
        the day of examinations as the brain needs time to digest the material studied.
        Read the summarised notes at least two hours before the examination session
        to refresh your memory.
