SECTION A (10 marks)

(Time suggested : 15 minutes)

Answer all questions in this paper.

The text below is about a students first day in a secondary school.

Question 1

Read the text below. The first and last lines are correct. For the remaining lines, there is

one grammatical error in each line.

Underline the error. Then, write one word to correct the error in the space provided. An

example has been given. The correct word must not change the meaning of the

sentence. There are no spelling and punctuation errors in this text.

When I sit back and recall my first-day experience in a secondary school, I

often laugh at myself. I reached school early that day but was excited to see

new faces. Many parents accompanied their children whom looked smart in

their new uniforms. I was looked forward to seeing my former classmates but I

did not see any of them. All Form One students was told to go to the hall right

away. Later, all the form teachers took the students to his respective

classrooms. The teachers started to call out our name. When I did not hear my

name, I quick approached her. She went over the list again and informed me

that my name was not above it. That puzzled me since I was sure I had

registered my name. I was then told to check with an office. I finally located the

office and meet the school clerk. I was told that I was not registered there. Only

then did I realise that in her excitement, I had went to the wrong school. On

arriving at the correct school, I told my friends what had happened and they had

a good laugh.

Reflections of a young boy called Mawi

Ive been searching for my passion. I think if I choose to be a businessman, Ill be rich

But just when I think I have decided on my choice, I am engulfed by a surging need to be a surgeon... and save lives

When I really think about it logically, I can see now there might be a need for surgeons. To be a businessman or a surgeon? I am amazed my dad seems to be sure what is good for me. Oh well..

But then I still cant decideIm confused. Im told I think too much. As a child, I dont have to think so much about my future.yet! Im just supposed to go to school and gain knowledge. If I do well in school, I can go to university and achieve my ambition.

Well, never mind. Since today is Saturday, guess Ill just stay home and do my favourite things Maybe Ill watch TV read a book, or even play football! Or I could even help dad to wash the car and water the plants.
