GENERAL INSTRUCTION:  This paper contains sections A, B & C.

Read the instruction o each section carefully before you answer the questions.

Answer all the questions in this section.

            In some parts of Africa, such as Ethiopia and Angola, there have been serious food shortages.  The result has been mass starvation: many people have died each year because they did not have enough food.  These food shortages have had various causes; including drought and population increases.  In addition, war has played a serious role.  Apart from these causes, many governments’ policies do not always encourage farmers to grow more food, and to make matters worse, urbanization has drawn large numbers of people from productive farm work into unproductive cities.

            In such countries, the main problem has been the low production of food.  In many parts of Africa, however, the problem has been lack of food.  In most areas, the climate and soil allow the people living there to produce enough food for their needs.  The main problem has instead been lack of knowledge about food.

            There has been insufficient realization that food is meant to provide the body with certain substances to keep it healthy.  Ill health due to a poor diet is known as malnutrition.  In most cases in Africa, malnutrition is due to ignorance about the right kinds of food to eat.  The solution to the problem is in education.

            It is important for people to realize that malnutrition causes a great deal of illness and death.  Moreover, apart from the people who are obviously ill, there are many thousands who are tired or weak, or have poorly developed bodies, simply through lack of proper feeding.  These people are far more likely to get common diseases (for example, tuberculosis, infections, diarrhea) than those with a good diet.  It is extraordinary how many people are unaware of the serious problem of malnutrition in their own country.  Many people are unaware of some nutritional diseases, and do not realize how awful they are.  They seem surprised when they see a case or a photograph of a person suffering from kwashiorkor, a nutritional disease.

            Malnutrition is most common and severe in children under five years of age, and women of childbearing age.  It has been going on for years, and is likely to become more widespread as more and more of our people go to live in big towns, and cease to grow their own food.

            People tend to think that the problem of malnutrition is something for doctors or the Ministry of Health to solve.  It is time that medical staff are necessary to cure diseases that are due to malnutrition, but the solution is not cure but prevention.

            The prevention of malnutrition needs the cooperation of people trained in many different branches of knowledge.  Thus, the doctor, by examining patients, can indicate the ways in which their poor diet is affecting their health knowing about this poor diet, the agricultural officer can attempt to incrase the production of certain foods.  The domestic science teacher can advise people on how best to prepare these foods.  Above all, the teacher can instruct people about food and nutrition.  However, although education perhaps holds the key to the solution, it is vital to realize that the problems are best solved by teamwork: people in quite different jobs need to cooperate with one common aim in view.

Section B – Read the following passage and answer the comprehension questions that follows.   The Problems With Packaged Water Providing pure water to the more than 174 million people living in Nigeria today is a major problem. So, because pure drinking water is very important for health, selling pure water has become big business. Pure water is sold in two ways: in bottles and in plastic bags called sachets. Bottled water is commonly sold in hotels, restaurants and big shops, on the streets or in the market. When buying bottled water, you need to be careful. Always make sure that the top is properly screwed on. There is danger that the bottle has been refilled after use with water that is not pure. The danger with sachets is different. The water may be pure, but the plastic material used in packaging pure water may be harmful. When plastic material is exposedto high temperatures it gradually starts to dissolve . As a result, it releases dangerous substances called oxidants. These are harmful, and can cause cancer. So, if sachets are exposed to the sun, they can become dangerous. In addition, water sachets affect the environment in two ways. Firstly, they cause litter and they can collect dust, dirt and harmful germs. Second, they are hard to dispose of because they are made of non-biodegradable materials. This means they take a long time to decay. For these reasons, the Nigerian government is thinking of banning the use of water sachets. The search is on for other ways of packaging water.

Comprehension questions.  1.What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 1? 2. In what two ways is pure water sold in Nigeria? 3. Why is selling pure water big business? 4. What action is the Nigerian government taking as a result? 5. Where do you think is the safest place to buy a sachet of water?

The manager said, ‘that room is the smallest and cheapest we have’, and he added, ‘but why do you choose a poor room like that? ‘when your son stays here he always has our most expensive room; yours is the cheapest’. ‘Yes’, said Rockefeller, he has expensive tastes; but one can hardly blame him.

Jss 1 English Comprehension & Excercise

Exercise: Read the passage below, and write the following in complete sentences.

(1)In one sentence, describe a family.

(2)In one sentence, state what Professor Wolfgang Haak’s study says about the nuclear family.

A nuclear family is a family group consisting of a father and mother and their children, who share living quarters. The opposite of the nuclear family is the extended family in which, apart from members of the nuclear family, also comprises other relatives such as uncles, aunts,cousins and nephews. Nuclear family structures date back thousands of years. In its general meaning,the term nuclear refers to a central entity or nucleus around which others collect. According to Professor Wolfgang Haak of Adelaide University, the nuclear family is natural Homo sapiens (the present generation of the human species). A 2005 archeological dig in Elan,Germany, analysed by Haak,revealed genetic evidence suggesting that the individuals found in a grave were closely related. Haak said,”By establishing the genetic links between the two adults and two children buried together in one grave, we have established the presence of the classic nuclear family in a prehistoric context in Central Europe.”Most modern Western cultures are dominated by the nuclear family mentality. The term extended family has been generally used to refer to grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins, whether they live together within the same household or not. It may also refer to a family unit in which several generations live together within a single household.In India, the family is a patriarchal rather than a matriarchal society, with the sons’ families often staying under a single roof.In this kind of setup, work is shared among the members, often unequally.The women are often housewives and cook for the entire family.The patriarch of the family (often the oldest male member) lays down the rules judges disputes. Other senior members of the household baby-sit infants when their mothers are working. They are also responsible for teaching the younger children their mother tongue, manners and etiquette. Most extended family houses often have a large reception area and a common kitchen. Each family has its own bedroom. The members of the household also look after one another if a member is ill.

Parts of speech is divided into two namely; the grammatical and the lexical parts of speech. The grammatical parts of speech are: articles and determiners. While the lexical parts of speech are:  Nouns,verbs,pronouns,adverbs,adjectives,prepositions,conjunctions and exclamation or interjection.

Day 2, Period 2:

Step 3 : THE HUMAN ORGANS OF SPEECH.

       Diagram of the human organs of speech.

The human organs of speech (above) are the organs we use for the production of speech sounds.

Step 4: Description of the human speech organs:

• The tongue: This is the most essential and crucial organ of speech. It moves about in the mouth in all directions to produce sounds as it articulates with or touches other organs of speech. We consider the height of the tongue (whether high or low) in relate to the roof of the mouth,and its position, in terms of front or backward movement, before naming a particular sound.
• The Lips: These are also important in the production of sounds such as bilabial sounds, e.g; /p/,/b/,/m/,/w/. We consider whether the lips are rounded or unrounded. If the lips are rounded, the vowels produced are called rounded vowels.
• The teeth: These are stationary organs of speech which other organs (such as the tip of the tongue and lips) articulate with to produce sounds like: / ð /,/f/,/v/.
• The alveolar ridge: This is located between the hard palate and the upper teeth. It is the point where the tip of the tongue articulates with to form or produce alveolar sounds such as; /t/,/d/,/l/,/n/.
• The soft palate: This can be found behind the hard palate. Velum is capable of being raised or lowered, and the extremity of which is the uvula. The base of the tongue articulates with the soft palate to produce ‘velar sounds’ such as /k/,/g/,/ ŋ /.
• The nasal cavity: This is an open space behind the nose and above the palate where air passes through when we breathe. The proper production of nasal sounds are made possible through the help of the cavity. The sounds such as; /m/,/n/,/ ŋ / are all nasalized sounds.
• The vocal cords: These are the two folds of ligaments and elastic tissues found in the Larynx or Adam’s Apple. In between the folds is an opening which is referred to as the glottis. If the opening is wide enough whereby the pulmonic air has a free passage, the cords ‘will not vibrate’. However, if the opening is too small,the air cause the cords ‘to vibrate’ in the process of forcing its way out of the small opening. As a result of the vibration, voiced sounds will be produced.

The place where the glottal sounds are produced is known as the pharynx. E.g. /h/.

Day 3; Period 3.

 Step 5 : DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY.

Descriptive essay is an essay that requires the writer to give clear picture of someone, something or event in words. It requires you to be able to vividly describe event so that those who did not see or experience it will feel really involved in the description. When describing a person, place, animal or thing, use present tense.

Descriptive essay is close to narrative essay because “past tense” may be used.

Outline or features of a descriptive essay.

(i) topic  (ii) introduction  (iii) body of the essay  (iv) conclusion.

In writing descriptive essay, the following steps should be followed for a good write-up:

• Reveal or identify who or what you are describing.
• Explain how or where to find your object of description, i.e. the address or location of the person or object.
• Tell the features of the person or object of description.
• Give the good qualities of the person or object you are describing.
• Tell the bad qualities or disadvantages of the person or object under description. (Note that the bad qualities should be less than the good qualities.

Step 6: Descriptive Essay Sample:

Descriptive Essay Examples

Descriptive essays are a powerful way to communicate an experience you’ve had or illustrate a subject in which you have expertise. Whether you plan to write a personal, subjective account or a more rigorous description of a given subject, these descriptive essay examples will guide you to success.

Descriptive Essay Examples:

                  The Thunderstorm at Onne Port .

My visit to my uncle’s residence near the Onne sea port in Rivers State was an eye opener to me as I witnessed a massive thunderstorm close to the Atlantic ocean. I watched the thunderstorm, far out over the ocean. It began quietly, and with nothing visible except tall dark clouds and a rolling tide. There was just a soft murmur of thunder as I watched the horizon from his balcony. Over the next few minutes, the clouds closed and reflected lightning set the rippling ocean aglow. The thunderheads had covered up the sun, shadowing the vista. It was peaceful for a long time.

I was looking up when the first clear thunderbolt struck. It blazed against the sky and sea; I could see its shape in perfect reverse colors when I blinked. More followed. The thunder rumbled and stuttered as if it could hardly keep up. There were openings in the cloud now, as if the sky were torn, and spots of brilliant blue shone above the shadowed sea.

I looked down then, watching the waves. Every bolt was answered by a moment of spreading light on the surface. The waves were getting rough, rising high and crashing hard enough that I could hear them.

Then came the rain. It came all at once and in sheets, soaking the sand, filling the sea. It was so dense I could only see the lightning as flashes of light. It came down so hard the thunder was drowned. Everything was rhythmic light and shadow, noise and silence, blending into a single experience of all five senses.

In an instant it stopped. The storm broke. The clouds came apart like curtains. The rain still fell, but softly now. It was as if there had never been a storm at all, except for a single signature. A rainbow, almost violently bright, spread above and across the water. I could see the horizon again.

• What are parts of speech?

CONTENT: Grammar: Parts of speech

All the parts of speech are:

• Noun (2) pronoun (3) verbs (4)adjective

(5) adverb (6) preposition  (7) conjunction

We shall consider each one, under our grammar lesson

• Noun- A noun is a naming word. Nouns are the names of people e.g man, woman, Ali etc. names of animals e.g horse, dog, cat etc. mane of things e.g. house, tree, blackboard etc.

Function of a Noun

• A noun can function as a subject in a sentence

A subject is the doer of an action.

E.g. Wale is in the class

‘Wale’ is a noun and it occupies the subject position of the sentence.

• A noun can also function as object in a sentence

An object is the RECEIVER of an action.

E.g. The teacher slapped Wale

“The action of slapping” is received by Wale hence,

Wale is the object of the sentence.

Types of nouns

We have the following types of nouns:

• Common noun: refers to any examples of class of persons (boy, girl), places (stadium, city)
• Proper noun: refers to the particular person (Wale, Emeka) particular places (Lagos, Ogun). Particular week day (Friday, Sunday), particular title (Balogun, Otunba)
• Abstract noun : These are noun that are cannot see or torch but we can feel them, they also show our emotion e.g. happy, joy, sorrow etc.
• Countable Nouns: these are nouns we can count e.g. table, chair, biro, etc.
• Uncountable nouns : these are nouns that we cannot count e.g. water, oil, rice, beans etc.

From your progressive English by J. Addai  page 59-60

Group the following under proper nouns, common nouns, collective nouns and abstract noun. There are 20 nouns in each group

Conclusion:

Student can now give example of some type of nouns and they can use them in sentence.

Assignment:

Explain the following type of nouns with adequate examples.

• Collective noun
• Abstract noun
• Proper noun
• Common noun

PRONOUNS are words that are used in place of a noun. They are usually used to avoid repetition. Look at these sentences   :

The man  came to our class. The man  looked at every student, the man sat down. Instead of repeating the word “man” we use “He” .He is a pronoun. Other examples of pronouns are: he, she, they, it, you, us, them, e.t.c .

We can read up on pronouns from our NOSEC {Page 44-46}. Other parts of speech will also be discussed in our subsequent lessons.

Moral objectives:

Nouns are member of the open class and even from the beginning when God commanded Adam to give names to the animals and this was brought up till now and man is still identifying and distinguishing many things – hence he is still giving the names of many things and inventions.

                                                Essay-Meaning and Definition

The Best Books of the Year (So Far)

The nonfiction and novels we can’t stop thinking about.

Supported by

By The New York Times Books Staff

• May 24, 2024

Fiction | Nonfiction

We’re almost halfway through 2024 and we at The Book Review have already written about hundreds of books. Some of those titles are good. Some are very good. And then there are the following.

We suspect that some (though certainly not all) will be top of mind when we publish our end-of-year, best-of lists. For more thoughts on what to read next, head to our book recommendation page .

James , by Percival Everett

In this reworking of the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” Jim, the enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the Mississippi River, is the narrator, and he recounts the classic tale in a language that is his own, with surprising details that reveal a far more resourceful, cunning and powerful character than we knew.

Local bookstores | Barnes and Noble | Amazon

Good Material , by Dolly Alderton

Alderton’s novel, about a 35-year-old struggling to make sense of a breakup, delivers the most delightful aspects of romantic comedy — snappy dialogue, realistic relationship dynamics, funny meet-cutes and misunderstandings — and leaves behind clichéd gender roles and the traditional marriage plot.

Martyr! , by Kaveh Akbar

A young Iranian American aspiring poet and recovering addict grieves his parents’ deaths while fantasizing about his own in Akbar’s remarkable first novel, which, haunted by death, also teems with life — in the inventive beauty of its sentences, the vividness of its characters and the surprising twists of its plot.

The Hunter , by Tana French

For Tana French fans, every one of the thriller writer’s twisty, ingenious books is an event. This one, a sequel to “The Searcher,” once again sees the retired Chicago cop Cal Hooper, a perennial outsider in the Irish west-country hamlet of Ardnakelty, caught up in the crimes — seen and unseen — that eat at the seemingly picturesque village.

Wandering Stars , by Tommy Orange

This follow-up to Orange’s debut, “There There,” is part prequel and part sequel; it trails the young survivor of a 19th-century massacre of Native Americans, chronicling not just his harsh fate but those of his descendants. In its second half, the novel enters 21st-century Oakland, following the family in the aftermath of a shooting.

Headshot , by Rita Bullwinkel

Set at a women’s boxing tournament in Reno, Nev., this novel centers on eight contestants, and the fights — physical and emotional — they bring to the ring. As our critic wrote: This story’s impact “lasts a long time, like a sharp fist to your shoulder.”

Beautyland , by Marie-Helene Bertino

In 1970s Philadelphia, an alien girl sent to Earth before she’s born communicates with her fellow life-forms via fax as she helps gather intel about whether our planet is habitable. This funny-sad novel follows the girl and her single mother as they find the means to persevere.

Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder , by Salman Rushdie

In his candid, plain-spoken and gripping new memoir, Rushdie recalls the attempted assassination he survived in 2022 during a presentation about keeping the world’s writers safe from harm. His attacker had piranhic energy. He also had a knife. Rushdie lost an eye, but he has slowly recovered thanks to the attentive care of doctors and the wife he celebrates here.

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis , by Jonathan Blitzer

This urgent and propulsive account of Latin American politics and immigration makes a persuasive case for a direct line from U.S. foreign policy in Central America to the current migrant crisis.

The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook , by Hampton Sides

By the time he made his third Pacific voyage, the British explorer James Cook had maybe begun to lose it a little. The scientific aims of his first two trips had shifted into something darker. According to our reviewer, the historian Hampton Sides “isn’t just interested in retelling an adventure tale. He also wants to present it from a 21st-century point of view. ‘The Wide Wide Sea’ fits neatly into a growing genre that includes David Grann’s ‘ The Wager ’ and Candice Millard’s ‘ River of the Gods ,’ in which famous expeditions, once told as swashbuckling stories of adventure, are recast within the tragic history of colonialism .”

The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon , by Adam Shatz

This absorbing biography of the Black psychiatrist, writer and revolutionary Frantz Fanon highlights a side of him that’s often eclipsed by his image as a zealous partisan — that of the caring doctor, who ran a secret clinic for Algerian rebels.

Fi: A Memoir , by Alexandra Fuller

In her fifth memoir, Fuller describes the sudden death of her 21-year-old son. Devastating as this elegant and honest account may be — it’s certainly not for the faint of heart — it also leaves the reader with a sense of having known a lovely and lively young man.
