GRADE 6 ENGLISH READING COMPREHENSION 1

Fill in the blank with one word from the text. (1 mark each)

1. Einstein did not show interest in learning __________________.

2. Calcutta is a city that can be found in __________________.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was

a Roman Catholic nun, who devoted

her life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta, India

where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation

devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded

the Nobel Peace Prize and has become a symbol of charitable selfless work. She was beatified in 2003, the first step on

the path to sainthood, within the Catholic church.

Born in 1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert Einstein was to become

the most celebrated scientist of the Twentieth Century. His

discoveries were to lay the framework for new branches of physics. He also become a well-known person speaking out

against nuclear weapons – weapons he had indirectly contributed towards creating.

Einstein is one of the undisputed geniuses of the Twentieth Century, but, his early school reports

suggested anything but a genius. His early teachers found him dim and slow to learn. Part of the problem was that Albert expressed no

interest in learning languages and learning by heart that was very popular at the time.

GRADE 5 ENGLISH READING COMPREHENSION 2

SECTION 1 (10 marks)

UMBRELLA It was a cloudy night; the darkness covered the city like a thick blanket. The wind blew gusts of air smelling of car fumes through the streets; it sneaked under the cracks of doors and whispered down sooty chimneys. (paragraph 1)

Mr Bell hurried down a dark street, holding onto his bowler hat so that the harsh breeze couldn’t steal it. The wind

blew harder, almost blowing the short, stout man off-course. Eyes narrowed, Mr Bell tried again to walk into the path of the determined gale. A hazy drizzle of misty rain drifted down in sheets, making him shiver and cough. Cursing the cold, he drew his coat tighter around his large figure. As he made to clamp his hat to his head again, he spotted something black and flapping on the pavement. An umbrella! (paragraph 2)

His heart leapt; the umbrella would be perfect! Feeling pleased with himself, Mr Bell ran towards it and snatched it up. The handle was smooth and glossy, and the waterproof dome was black and very large. (paragraph 3)

As Mr Bell raised it above his head, something remarkable happened. He began to feel lighter as he ran over the cobbled street, holding tight. Lighter and lighter. With a gasp, he realised that his leather shoes were no longer making contact with the pavement. He was flying! The wind lifted him up like hundreds of hands, all pushing upwards. (paragraph 4)

SECTION 2 (14 marks)

UMBRELLA (continued) With a delighted and shocked shout, Mr Bell gazed down at the sprawling city below him. The street lamps looked like beautiful, luminous flowers reaching up to him. Cars reminded him of jewel-coloured beetles crawling through the concrete maze. (paragraph 5)

The wind led him towards the park; it was the only splash of green in a grey ocean of buildings and roads. Clutching the umbrella tightly, he drifted towards two bronze statues of lions guarding the park entrance. Mr Bell outstretched his free hand and reached towards one. As he passed, he patted it on its cold head. The lion roared deeply and shook its impressive mane, whilst watching the small man float past. Wide-eyed, Mr Bell swung himself away. The umbrella swayed dangerously and as he grasped the handle harder, he waited dizzily for the world to stop spinning. (paragraph 6)

Still the wind carried him on. He glanced back at the now still statues. The trees swayed in time with the umbrella as he drifted higher again. A white barn owl flew past Mr Bell like a winged ghost. (paragraph 7)

As he rose, he scanned the sprawling city for his house. There. He gently coaxed the umbrella down towards his street. The wind rushed down and with a bump, Mr Bell landed outside his house. He looked around to check that nobody had noticed him disembarking, before making his way up the garden path. The promise of light and warmth beckoned him inside. As he stood on the front porch, he folded the umbrella up and smiled as he thought about what an exciting bedtime story his daughters would have that night. (paragraph 8)

It-Tieni Taqsima (20 marka)

A. Aqra dan l-artiklu u wara wieġeb il-mistoqsijiet.

Hemm min jieħu qatgħa kif jisma’ lil xi ħadd jgħanni, pereżempju fuq ir-radju, u hemm persuni

oħra – iva, anke żgħażagħ – li l-għana Malti jaffaxxinahom. Hu x’inhu, żgur però li l-għana Malti – li

jaf il-bidu tiegħu fis-seklu 15 – jitqies bħala l-kant u l-mużika folkloristika tal-ġżejjer tagħna. (par 1)

Insibu dokumenti li fihom hemm imniżżla anke xi ismijiet ta’ xi għannejja tas-seklu 15! Sa mill-bidu,

l-għana Malti kellu xi strumenti marbuta miegħu bħat-tanbur, il-vjola (jixbah lill-vjolin), l-iljut

(strument bil-kordi, qisu kitarra) u t-trumbetta. (par 2)

L-għana kien jinstema’ l-aktar f’okkażjonijiet bħat-tiġijiet, il-funerali, fil-festi tal-irħula u anke f’festi

reliġjużi u nazzjonali oħra bħall-Milied, il-Vitorja u wkoll fil-festi tal-Imnarja. Mas-seklu 17 bdew

jizdiedu wkoll xi strumenti oħra għal waqt l-għana. (par 3)

Se nitkellmu ftit fil-qosor dwar tliet tipi ta’ għana, l-għana spirtu pront, l-għana tal-fatt u fl-aħħar l-

għana la Bormliża. (par 4)

L-Għana Spirtu Pront : Kif jindika l-isem tiegħu, dan it-tip ta’ għana jiġi vvintat dak il-ħin stess u

għalhekk, l-għannej ikollu biċċa xogħol diffiċli. Dan għaliex minbarra li jrid jaħseb x’se jgħid, l-

għannej irid ukoll joqgħod attent biex jibqa’ jżomm ir-ritmu u r-rima. Kważi l-għanejja kollha

jgħannu dan it-tip ta’ għana waqt li jkunu akkumpanjati minn xi kitarrist, għalkemm ġieli wkoll

jitgħanna mingħajr strument mużikali. Dan l-għana jitkanta permezz ta’ kwartini (strofa ta’ erba’

versi) bil-vers ottonarju (ta’ tmien sillabi). (par 5)

L-Għana tal-Fatt: Għall-kuntrarju tal-għana spirtu pront, l-għana tal-fatt ikun imħejji minn qabel u

jirrakkonta ġrajja mnebbħa minn valuri familjari, soċjali jew nazzjonali. Pereżempju nsibu għana

tal-fatt imnebbħa mill-istorja ta’ pajjiżna jew inkella għana b’tema politika. (par 6)

L-Għana la Bormliża: Dan l-għana huwa fost l-aktar li tinħtieġ ħila għalih għax fih hemm bżonn ta’

vuċi għolja u teknika partikolari. Probabbilment li dan l-għana nbeda l-ewwel min-nies ta’ Bormla u

għalhekk baqa’ jġorr miegħu dan l-isem. Dan l-għana ma jsegwix dejjem l-istess forma għaliex xi

drabi jkun ivvintat dak il-ħin, inkella jkun ippreparat kollu minn qabel u drabi oħra, nofsu jkun

ippreparat u l-kumplament ivvintat. Dan l-għana jista’ jitkanta minn għannej wieħed jew inkella

minn tnejn li jirrispondu lil xulxin bl-għana. (par 7)

It-Tieni Parti: Frans Baldacchino – Il-Budaj

L-Għannej Żejtuni, Frans Baldacchino, magħruf bħala l-

Budaj, miet fil-21 ta’ Ġunju 2006 fl-età ta’ 63 sena.

Il-Budaj kien għannej b’leħen mill-isbaħ. It-talent tiegħu

kien apprezzat anke minn dawk li ma tantx kienu midħla

tal-għana Malti.

Diversi artikli ġew miktuba b’apprezzment lejn il-kontribut

li ta Frans Baldacchino. Wieħed mill-artikli kien jgħid hekk:

(par 8)

“Il-Budaj kellu n-namra tal-għana minn età żgħira, u kellu

wkoll passjoni lejn l-opra u l-mużika klassika. Kien iħobb

jikteb il-poeżija u ta’ seba’ snin kien diġa beda jħoss il-ġibda

lejn il-kitba tal-poeżija. Huwa ġie mogħti diploma mill-grupp ‘Poeti Maltin’ li tagħhom kien

membru. Hu pparteċipa f’diversi festivals folkloristiċi, kemm lokali kif ukoll internazzjonali,

fosthom il-Kanada, Franza, il-Libja, il-Greċja u t-Tuneżija. (par 9)

Fl-2001 huwa kiteb il-lirika tal-kanzunetta rebbieħa, ‘Tisimgħu Tissaħħar’ fil-festival L-
