QUESTION 1
Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions.
TEXT A
5 Seven to nine hours sleep a night is important for wellness, productivity and
lowering the risk of disease, but King said people whose sleeping habits he
tracked, slept far less than seven hours a night, with men more likely to be
sleep-deprived. ‘Lack of sleep is a contributing factor to obesity, and both
are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, cancers 25
and diabetes.’
6 In line with previous research done around the world, King found that the
shorter the sleep duration, the higher the body-mass index (BMI)
measurement, while BMI lowered as individuals got enough sleep. ‘On its
own, obesity does not have a direct financial implication but it leads to many 30
other health problems, for example by preventing physical exercise, which
will in turn increase the risk of coronary disease or of a low self-image
which may then fuel major depression,’ he said.
8 One night of less than six hours’ sleep is equivalent to two totally sleepless
nights. It affects the concentration of those at work, university and even at 40
school. Decision-making could be risky and could have negative results.
9 Making the sleepless scenario worse, people with poor sleeping patterns
also tend to have unhealthy lifestyle habits like drinking alcohol, smoking
and lack of exercise. Combining these with insufficient sleep further
increases the risk of developing chronic diseases. 45
10 ‘Medical schemes carry the burden of these diseases. The costs need to
be established, to identify the risk for the schemes if members do not
adhere to healthy sleeping patterns and other lifestyle choices,’ King said.
11 Charles King gives the following advice to assist those with poor sleeping
patterns: Switch off mobile devices, do not watch television or work in bed. 50
Avoid consumption of caffeinated drinks or any substance that would impair
sleep quality. Get regular exercise.
1.1 Quote an informal word from paragraph 1 which means the same as ‘sleep’. (1)
1.2.1 How can a lack of sleep affect people while they are at work? State
TWO facts. (2)
1.3.1 How do you know that King’s research included many people? (1)
1.3.2 Using your OWN words, explain what is meant by ‘tracking their
sleep over three months’ (line 12). (1)
1.4 How do you think medical aids are affected by their members who have
poor sleeping patterns? (2)
Not sleeping for a few hours at night, leads to weight loss. (1)
1.7 Give TWO reasons why the writer links obesity to ‘low self-image’ and
‘depression’. (2)
1.8 Explain the term ‘24/7 availability of entertainment’ (line 37) in your OWN
words. (1)
1.9 Why, in your opinion, does lack of sleep affect decision-making? (2)
1.10.2 Which word in this paragraph means the same as ‘not enough’? (1)
1.11 What advice does Charles King give to those who wish to improve their
sleeping patterns? State TWO points. (2)
1.12 In your view, does this article teach the readers any valuable lessons? (2)
1.13 Discuss the suitability of the title, ‘We need more sleep’. (2)

SECTION B: SUMMARY
QUESTION 2
Read TEXT C below and list SEVEN tips on how to eat less sugar.
INSTRUCTIONS
TEXT C
Sugar makes most things taste better. That is because our taste buds tell us so,
biologically preparing us to eat sweet things for the energy they provide for our
bodies to function. When we eat more sugar than we burn, the leftovers are
converted to fat, and can lead to life-threatening diseases like obesity and also
results in tooth decay.
We should try to find ways to cut back on sugar, rather than cutting it out
completely. Soft drinks have nine teaspoons of added sugar and no nutritional
benefits. It is a good idea to stop drinking your sugar. Whole fruit has fibre that
keeps you feeling full and is packed with nutrients, so eat fruit rather than drinking
juice.
Drink water for thirst. Keep a jug flavoured with sliced citrus, cucumber and mint
in the fridge. For those who love tea and coffee – it is a good idea to start enjoying
it without sugar.
Most cereals are packed with sugar, even the healthy ones such as muesli and
granola. Wean yourself off sugar at breakfast. Plain yoghurt with fresh fruit is a
better option.
Adapt your recipes and find low-sugar alternatives instead. Cut back on sugar, but
do not be too hard on yourself. If there is a celebration, have a reasonably sized
piece of cake. Like most things in life, sugar is fine in moderation. The key is
balance.

5.1 Read the passage (TEXT F), which contains some deliberate errors, and
answer the set questions.
TEXT F
1 ‘Every blanket is a person employed.’ These were the words Blankets from
Africa founder, Roslyn Bechet, used when she spoke about the projek she
started in 2016. It all began with a trip to the heartland of South Africa – the
semi-desert Karoo. There she found that poverty was rife and the plight of
women was dire. The unemployment rate was the highest she has seen. 5
2 ‘I was astounded by the decay, lack in employment and the plight of women
live in the gorgeous, wide open space with the most amazing raw materials,’
she said during an interview with News24. ‘I left feeling I wanted to do
something to help, and Blankets from Africa was born from that.’
3 The organisation brings women from all generations together and teaches 10
them how to knit. The womens knitted items are sold to the public, which
creates an income for them. The idea was born when Bechet was looking for
a gift for her husband in one of the rural communities. She met a woman who
runs a community kitchen and takes care of orphans. The woman ran a small
knitting programme to raise funds. 15
4 Today, Blankets from Africa has 22 knitters between the centres in Graaff
Reinet and Port Elizabeth.
5.1.1 Correct the SINGLE error in EACH of the following sentences. Write
down ONLY the question numbers and the words you have corrected.
(a) Roslyn Bechet spoke about the projek she started in 2016. (1)
(b) The unemployment rate was the highest she has seen. (1)
(d) The womens knitted items are sold to the public, which creates an
income for them. (1)
5.1.4 Complete the following tag question. Write down only the missing words.
Bechet said, ‘Some are lucky to find employment once they have been
through our project.’ (4)
5.2 Study the text (TEXT G) below and answer the set questions.
TEXT G

passionate ‘KnitWits for Madiba’ and their cause, 67 Blankets for Nelson

1.3.2 The writer is going to keep a record of the sleeping pattern of certain

Yes. The article teaches the reader about the importance of sleeping
enough. Readers are warned about the fact that they could develop serious
illnesses if they lose too much sleep.
OR
No. The article does not teach any lessons to teenagers because they love
to sleep, but can also be energetic after only a few hours’ sleep. Teenagers
do not have poor sleeping patterns as there is no need to get up early if they
do not want to.
NOTE: Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for
an answer that is not well-substantiated.
Accept a combination answer. (2)
Yes. The title is suitable because it is linked to the article which provides the
reader with information on the many benefits of having a good sleeping
pattern. The article also gives advice to those who have poor sleeping
patterns, so they can improve and get that much needed sleep.
OR
No. The title is not suitable because it uses the pronoun ‘we’, but
concentrates more on adults and how it affects their jobs. Teenagers
experience poor sleeping patterns too, but no mention is made of it.
