QUESTION 1
Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions.
TEXT A
WE NEED MORE SLEEP!
1 South Africans desperately need more sleep. As many as two-thirds of

South Africans are not getting enough ‘shut-eye’, a study suggests.
2 According to a Stellenbosch University study, those employees who do not

sleep enough are more likely to develop life-threatening chronic illnesses,
more likely to cause workplace accidents, are less productive and more 5
absent. This becomes a financial burden for employers and medical aids.
There could be a reduction in healthcare costs if employees develop
healthy sleeping habits.
3 Charles King, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) student at the

University of Stellenbosch, gathered data from 658 men and women 10
between the ages of 25 and 40 working at a national financial services
group, tracking their sleep over three months.
4 ‘Lack of sleep is related to workplace issues such as absenteeism, lack of

productivity, poor performance and accidents which have a direct cost
impact on a business. Insufficient sleep has also been directly linked with 15
seven of the fifteen leading causes of death,’ King said. ‘The research
looked at the indirect costs of lack of sleep, particularly the cost to medical
schemes of treating illnesses where inadequate sleep is a major risk factor.
We asked what the potential savings would be to a medical scheme if
individuals just got enough sleep.’ 20
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.

7 The Stellenbosch research highlighted how sleep problems have become

one of the leading causes of physical and mental health illnesses, due to 35
expectations of being always available, shift work and longer working hours,
24/7 availability of entertainment and addiction to technology such as
mobile phones.
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.
12 More research is necessary to assist in raising awareness of the

importance of healthy sleep patterns. There is no doubt that insufficient
sleep has a financial impact on individuals, society and medical insurers. 55
If we do not sleep enough, we affect those we work for as well as those with
whom we work.

TEXT C
HOW TO EAT LESS SUGAR
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.

QUESTION 5: LANGUAGE AND EDITING SKILLS
5.1 Read the passage (TEXT F), which contains some deliberate errors, and
answer the set questions.
TEXT F
CREATING HOPE ONE STITCH AT A TIME
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.
