(EC/NOVEMBER 2020) ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P1 3 SECTION A: COMPREHENSION QUESTION 1 Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions. TEXT A FROM MY HEAD TO YOURS! 1 A woman’s hair is an important characteristic and the focus of hours of regular, careful attention. To choose to cut it all off is one thing – to lose it to chemotherapy is another. 2 Lise van Breda grew her hair for her wedding day, and shortly afterwards decided to cut it and donate it to the Cancer Association of South Africa 5 (CANSA). ‘It was not an act of bravery, but it was symbolic. It meant that one phase of my life was over, and marriage meant entering a new one. I also knew my hair would grow again.’ 3 Lise believes in giving. ‘I donate blood every month. I am a stem cell donor and on the list for bone marrow donation for leukaemia. I still need to 10 become an organ donor. As long as I have a healthy lifestyle and can give something to someone who needs it, I will. I have good, strong hair, so why not give that?’ 4 ‘I found instructions on the CANSA website on how to go about donating,’ she says. ‘I thought you could not donate your hair if you colour it, but I 15 discovered that CANSA accepts it.’ 5 Lise hopes to encourage other women to donate their hair and help others. It is easy and non-threatening, so more people should be doing it. 6 According to statistics, 115 000 South Africans are diagnosed with cancer yearly, with breast cancer being the leading cancer in women. 20 7 CANSA runs awareness and fundraising campaigns. During the annual Shavaton people can donate their hair or pay to have it sprayed. The Shavatons take place at shopping centres around the country. ‘People phone us to say they are growing their hair for us,’ says Lucy, head of marketing and communication at CANSA. 25 8 We just cut the ponytail then they go to a hairdresser for a new hairstyle. They donate their hair because they want to show support and unity with cancer patients and survivors. ‘It is a powerful, fascinating gift.’ 9 Those who cut their hair at a salon, must tie it in a ponytail that is 25 cm or longer because length is lost when making a wig. It must be sealed in a 30 zip-lock bag and taken to a CANSA Care Centre. The hair is sent off to the wigmakers in batches of 300 g. It takes about ten ponytails to make a complete wig.

4 ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P1 (EC/NOVEMBER 2020) 10 Rani Chetty of Tymeless Necessity Hair, wig-making company, has partnered with CANSA. She says the hair is cleaned to remove any 35 chemicals, then strands are sewn together, using a wefting machine. Wefting enough hair for a wig takes about five days. After that, the ‘rows’ of hair are sewn into the wig cap by hand. 11 A cancer patient can donate their hair, for the outer layer, so that their own hair falls around their face. The head shrinks when people undergo 40 chemotherapy, so wigs have flexible bands. If patients cannot afford a wig, they can choose one at a CANSA Care Centre. 12 Cancer survivor Mrs Steyn, who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, began losing her hair after three chemotherapy sessions. She cut it all off as she did not want bald spots on her head. ‘After losing my hair I realised 45 how much it meant to me. I had low self-esteem because I was losing my hair.’ 13 Getting a wig for free at CANSA and having hair has restored her confidence. ‘Many women having chemotherapy struggle with loss of hair but cannot afford wigs. I am grateful to women who donate their hair 50 because they make us beautiful and help us feel better about ourselves.’ [Adapted from Fair Lady, October 2019] GLOSSARY: chemotherapy: treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells. leukaemia: a type of cancer. 1.1 Refer to paragraph 1. 1.1.1 How do you know that women’s hair is important to them?

(EC/NOVEMBER 2020) ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE P1 7 SECTION B: SUMMARY QUESTION 2 If we do not know how to use our medication, we might not feel better.

List SEVEN points in full sentences using NO MORE than 70 words. 3. Number your sentences from 1 to 7. 4. Write only ONE point per sentence. 5. Use your OWN words as far as possible. 6. Indicate the number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. TEXT C HOW TO USE OUR MEDICINES CORRECTLY Medicines are modern miracles and without them it is likely that many of us would not feel better. Unfortunately, most of us do not know how to get the most out of our medication. It is important to know how to use it correctly. Medicines do not interact the same with everybody, so do not share your medication with other people even if they have the same symptoms as you. Some medications in pill form are designed to be released over time, so it is not a good idea to crush or chew them as it could lead to an overdose or a higher risk of side effects. Shaking your bottle of medicine before using it dissolves active ingredients. If you do not, you will not receive the right dose. Some medicines are meant to be taken at night and others in the morning. For our medicine to work, we must take it on time. Manufacturers give medicines expiry dates based on stability and quality testing. After this date it could cause an upset stomach or skin rash. Never take medicines that have expired. Taking tablets with grapefruit juice and hot drinks is a definite no as it can cause problems, so take it with water instead. Not all natural remedies are required to have a licence, so they are not always safer. Medicines must always be used with the necessary caution.

TEXT F WHAT IS THE SPIRIT OF UBUNTU? 1 “Umntu Ngumntu Ngabantu” or “I am, because you are” is how we describe the meaning of Ubuntu. It speaks to the fact that we are all connected and that one can only grow and progress through the growth and progression of others. Ubuntu has since been used as a reminder for society on how we should be treat others. 5 2 Mandela is the true definition of Ubuntu, as he used this concept to lead South Africa to a peaceful post apartheid transition. He never had the intent of teaching our oppressors a lesson. Instead, he operated with compassion and integrity, showing us that for us to be a better South Africa, we cannot act out of vengeance or retaliation, but out of peace. 10 3 Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1996, also touched on the meaning of Ubuntu and how it defines us as a society. “We think of ourselves far too frequent as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world,” he said. “When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the 15 whole of humanity.” 4 We all have a lot to learn from this beautiful Southern African philosophy.
