SECTION C READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)

Read the conversation between TABI and Marie-Laure then answer the questions below.
Use your own words as far as possible.

TABI : do you agree with the ancient facilitator ? He is encouraging sexual abstinence
among students. He hardly knows what he is talking about. Does he think we are
children ? He says early initiation into sexual activity among adolescents is a major risk
factor. Imagine !

Marie-laure : well, let’s consider some of the benefits of sexual abstinence he raised.

TABI : oh, come on. I know he talked about a 100% guarantee that you won’t become a
parent or get a sexually transmitted disease. But can’t these be avoided by
contraception ?

Marie-Laure : Many people have used condoms and still found themselves pregnant or
infected with an STD. The speaker said that having sex has psychological repercussions
too. If the relationship breaks up there are increase chances of depression. We all need
stability ; let’s not overlook that.

TABI : look, in my town young people engage in sexual activity quite openly ; scarcely
any young people abstain from it. Anyway, we don’t need to abstain. We won’t tell
anybody about our sexual activity, especially not our parents.

Marie-Laure : Listen, I never want to keep secrets and burden myself. I won’t live under
the pressure of hiding anything from my parents and friends. Statistics show that teens
who practice sexual abstinence are less likely to have depression. They are less likely to
attempt suicide, and likely to live in poverty when they become adults.

TABI : But all that stuff is in the future. It is neither here nor there now. How about the
present ? That’s what matters. I don’t like these boundaries that abstinence forces upon
us. We should be free. We’re not children, are we ?

Marie-Laure : No, we are not children : we are young adults. I think that is why it’s
important that we make wise decisions that will impact our life favourably and ensure
that we do well and graduate from school. We need to focus on our education. Sex can
wait until we have the right partner later. It won’t run away. Abstinence is the best
choice for all of us.
