Section C [25 marks]

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage. The passage below describes how the writer and her sister escaped a shooting that broke out in her town. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 1 “Hurry up children, your ong ngoai must be hungry by now,” Mother called

out from the front room of our family home in Tay Ninh, Vietnam. She had carefully placed steamed rice, fried chicken and vegetables in each compartment of the lunch rack, all set to be delivered to ong ngoai, our grandfather. My father, a staff sergeant with the Philippine Air Force, worked as a surgical technician for eight years and had married Mother, a local girl. Because of his work, he was away from home for weeks at a time. Mother was a housewife who took great care of Trang and me. She gave us the daily noontime job of taking lunch to our grandfather, who lived alone in a small rented apartment.

5

2 “Here, send the food to ong ngoai quickly. Be careful not to spill the food,” she added.

10

3 I was six years old. Trang, my sister, who was eight years older, was helping me get dressed. I was excited at the thought of getting out of the house.

4 Mother, ever-concerned, recited her list of reminders as she always did every day: “Stay on the side of the road. Look both ways before crossing the street. Don’t stop to talk to strangers. Come back straight to the house after you have delivered the food. Do not stop anywhere along the way. Run along now.”

15

5 So hand in hand, with Trang carrying the lunch rack, we scurried one block down the road to our grandfather’s place. He was a retired judge and I was happy to see him every day. It was he who gave me my first cac (the equivalent of cents at that time).

20

6 It was 1974 and war was spreading all over Vietnam, but in Tay Ninh life was peaceful and continued as usual. However, on that particular day, as Trang and I made our way to grandfather’s place, whizz!

7 “Duck down!” Trang cried as we walked along. “Stay low and take cover!” 258 Ratatatatat! Somewhere in the mountains just outside town, Vietcong

soldiers fired their flying bullets down our path. I bent so low that I actually dragged my face along the ground as I ran.

9 As we squatted at the side of the road, covering our heads, I started to worry about ong ngoai. He liked his food served hot. If we did not get there on time and his lunch turned cold - oh, I did not like the thought of it! I refused to let this outbreak of shooting slow us down. “Let’s just run for it!” I said.

30

10 Trang suggested duckwalking down the road but it was not a good idea. After a few paces, my short little legs began cramping. We tried all the manoeuvres that could save our lives but nothing seemed to work. We were ready to sit things out until the shooting was over. Then I suddenly remembered. If we ever came under fire, our elders had told us time after time, we should run from side to side. “Bullets travel in a straight line,” they said. “Run in a zigzag.”

(Adapted from Reader’s Digest, May 2006)

11 So taking a deep breath, we set off again, running wildly back and forth across the road. After what seemed forever, the shooting ceased. “God Almighty be praised, the food is still warm,” was all I could say after we arrived at our grandfather’s apartment, completely unaware of the danger from which we had just escaped. Five cents awaited each of us!

40

12 As an adult, I sometimes look back on that eventful day. I now know what my young mind could not understand then: it is impossible to go through life without hardship and struggles being thrown at you. They come when you least think they would, like when you are happily walking down a street and bullets start flying at you. You can try to avoid them all you want, but as long as you are alive, they will keep coming, from all directions. Sure, you might get wounded, but you just have to bandage your wounds, pick yourself up and start walking again.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
