SECTION B[Literature Component: 15 marks]

Leisure

What is this life, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in the grass.

No time to see, in brought daylight,Streams full of stars, like stars at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,And watch her feet, how the dance.

No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies

12/1 SULIT

Cooking is one job that most children enjoy. Most parents do not allow their children into the kitchen because of the potential accidents that can occur. Research shows that children acquire many useful skills when cooking. Teaching a child to cook is beneficial and fun.

By learning to weigh and measure ingredients and watching milk heat up, children learn about Mathematics and Science. Besides, children can also learn about the importance of food. They can be told to stop eating junk food and taught to cook nutritious meals instead.

Social skills can also be learnt in the kitchen. Working together on a recipe teaches children the importance of cooperation and sharing tasks. Hence, cooking is a great joy. Even a cooking disaster can be funny, for example, when a freshly baked cake ends up on the kitchen floor. Children can also enjoy the companionship of cooking. Chatting while cooking and preparing a meal is a lovely pastime.
