Answer all questions in this paper.

The text below is a story about The Sea Mouse

Question 1

Read the text below. There are grammatical errors in the text. The errors have been underlined for you. 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.

A tiny mouse was born between two bags of corn kernel in a cargo ship’s

hold. Her mother had been chased away and had disappeared out of view.

Frighten, the baby mouse snuggled between the bags and waited. The waves

rocked the vessel gentle and she soon fell asleep. A loud horn startled her out

of her dreams. The ship stopped, and many voice were heard, along with

footsteps going back and forth. A mouse stood still, her heart pounding like a

drum roll, with someone lifted up one of the bags and yelled, "Marcos, hand

me the broom. I found other mouse!" As he turned to look at the mouse again,

she had disappeared. She was already making her way out of the boat, scurry

between people's legs, down the ramp and onto the dock. Anyone stepped on

her tail, but she managed to escape. The baby mouse stop running and

looked around. The mouse could see the ship from far away. She watched if

sailors, appearing to be the size of corn kernels, went up and down the ramp,

carrying wooden cases and other supplies. The baby mouse realized how

hungry she was. She was lucky enough to find a plump, juicy berry to fill up

her minuscule stomach. She lingered a bit longer to watch the sunset,

reflecting on the sea in a million colours, and then yawned. Using a piece of

sea sponge as a pillow, the little mouse snuggled in an empty seashell and

drifted off to sleep. That was the beginning of her new life as a sea mouse.

SECTION C (20 marks)

(Time suggested : 20 minutes) Question 4 Read the text below.

Once upon a time, there was an affluent couple planning to throw a lavish party at their big

mansion. In the morning, they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed

price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so both didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing

all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came

was of an old age, frail and looked as if he was not even able to meet his daily needs.

They asked the old porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. He quoted

just a $20, a well below the market rate for delivering goods at couple’s home in his cart. Yet, the couple

argued and bargained with the old porter and finally settled for $15. The poor porter was struggling to

make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.

The couple happily paid the old porter $15 in advance and left after giving him their address for

delivery. They reached their home and an hour passed, two hours passed, but the old porter still had

not delivered their stuff. The wife started to be mad at her husband, “I always tell you to not to trust such

person still, you never listen to me! Such person who is not even able to earn to feed himself for 1 time

in a day, you just handed him everything. I am sure instead of delivering at our home; he must have

disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the

police station to file the complaint against him”.

They both hurriedly walked towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another

porter. They stopped the young boy to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying

their stuff in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our stuff and he

supposed to deliver it. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our stuff and going to sell it”.

The young porter patiently replied, “Madam, Please calm down. That poor old man was sick

since last month. He wasn’t able to earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. He was on the

way to deliver your stuff, but he who was famished and sick, could not gather the strength to go any

further in this heat of the noon”. He fell down and while handing me $15, his last words were, “I had

taken an advance for this delivery, and you take this and please deliver to this address”.

“Madam, He was hungry, he was poor, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to

complete old man’s last delivery at your home”, the young porter said. Upon hearing this, the husband

had tears in his eyes. The wife felt so ashamed and had no courage to see up in her husband’s eyes.

Question 5 Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d). The Day The Bulldozer Came by David Orme

The day the bulldozers came

Rooks were building

Crazy egg baskets in the oaks;

Green flies sizzled by the pond

And a cold-eyed toad

Waited for them.

The day the bulldozers came

Squirrels were scattering

Up tree trunks

And leapt from branches

That were hardly there.

The fox

Stirred in his sleep

As the ground trembles

'Ha ha!' he thought

'I'm quite safe

Deep down in the Earth

No one can get me here'

Then the bulldozers came.
