SECTION A

(READING – 20 MARKS)

Q1. Read the following passage carefully: (10 marks)

School used to be all about writing, whether it was the exercise books we wrote in or the notes we passed around. But not any more. Now it’s all about typing. Learning your QWERTY is almost as important as learning your ABC.

So, when my daughter came home last year with cursive handwriting homework, I was nonplussed. Cursive writing was originally developed to make it easier for children to write with a quill. By joining up the letters, it kept the quill on the parchment and minimized ink blots. But my daughter writes with a laptop. I explained as much to her teacher at the next parents’ day.

But the teacher explained that research suggests that the process of writing information down on paper, by hand, has a more direct effect on the formation of memories in the learning process than typing. Taking notes in class is still the most effective way to learn.

It’s a better way to store the skills for written language in a child’s brain than pressing keys.

She went on to say, “But that doesn’t mean that one should ditch computers. Children should be taught to touch-type early on. She just feels that learning is aided by the physical act of writing. Authors often write their first draft by hand. Whether it’s to do with the pace of thought, or some kind of stimulation the physical act has, we don’t know.

But it’s a fact.”

The French would doubtless agree. They love their handwriting. Teachers in France believe that fluency with a pen ‘unlocks the mind’ and they spend more time on writing than reading between the ages of three and eight.

We teach children the formation of letters and the appropriate joining strokes. But after a few years we leave them on their own devices, just as the written workload starts to increase. That’s when the bad habits set in.

But as proper writing becomes rarer, spending some time improving your handwriting is a good investment. In the future, sending a handwritten letter will be a display of affluence and class, which is why the sale of fountain pens is reviving.
 
I Answer the following questions briefly: (6 marks)
1. Today handwriting is not given much importance as_____________________ .
2. The author was nonplused when his daughter came home with cursive handwriting homework as he felt that _______________________________ .
3. The teacher felt differently because ______________________________ .
4. Cursive writing was introduced as it ________________________________ .
5. Although children are taught to write at an early age, they do not have legible handwriting when they grow older as _____________________________ .
6. Learning your QWERTY means _________________________ .
 
II Fill in the blanks with ONE word only: (2 marks)
The point the author is trying to make here is that the importance of the computer cannot be (a) ____________ , but handwriting is (b) ______________ important as, not only does it
(c) ____________ the learning, it also displays (d) ____________ .
 
III. Find a word in the passage that means the following: (2 marks)
a) taken aback / surprised
b) feather
 
Q2. Read the following poem carefully: (5 marks)
Once upon a time, son
They used to laugh with their hearts
And laugh with their eyes;
But now they laugh only with their teeth,
While their ice-block-cold eyes
Search behind my shadow.
 
There was a time indeed
They used to shake hands with their hearts;
But that’s gone, son.
Now they shake hands without their hearts
While their left hands search
My empty pockets.
 
“Feel at home”, “Come again,”
They say, and when I come
Again and feel at home, once,
Twice, there will be no thrice –
For then I find doors shut on me.
 
So, I have learnt many things, son.
I have learnt to wear many faces
Like dresses – home-face,
Office-face, street-face, host-face,
Cocktail-face, with all their conforming smiles
Like a fixed portrait smile.
 
And I have learnt, too.
To laugh with only my teeth
And shake hands without my heart.
I have also learnt to say ‘Goodbye’
When I mean ‘Good – riddance’;
To say ‘Glad to meet you’
Without being glad; and to say ‘It’s been
Nice talking to you’, after being bored.
 
Believe me, son
I want to be what I used to be
When I was like you. I want
To unlearn all these muting things.
Most of all I want to relearn
How to laugh, for my laugh in the mirror
Shows only my teeth like a snake’s bare fangs!
 
So show me, son
How to laugh; show me how
I used to laugh and smile
Once upon a time when I was like you.
 
Gabriel Okara
