SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)
Read the following passage and answer all the questions using as much as possible your own
words.
Social and economic problems linked to alcohol abuse
Drinking too much alcohol is a habit with serious consequences. It affects your health, your
family life, your behaviour and your pocket.
Health
First of all, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. It makes you sick. After a heavy
night of drinking, you will not feel well. You are also more likely to have an accident while
walking or driving home. Heavy drinking over a period of time will also affect your liver and
other parts of your body.
Family life
Excessive drinking can have a very negative effect on families. Mothers who drink during
pregnancy endanger their unborn babies. Family members suffer from anxiety, stress and even
fear when either parent drinks a lot. There are often violent disputes in families as a result of
this. Drinking outside the home also leads parents to spend less time with their children.
Finances
There are many economic consequences for both poor and rich families when one or both
parents spend too much money on alcohol.
People who drink too much may spend more time at home because they are sick. They
may be too tired to work hard and that may result in them losing their jobs or earning lower
wages. Some people may find that their expenditure becomes more than their earnings and they
may start falling into debt. There may not be enough money to buy food and medicines for the
family.
Behaviour
Domestic violence is often the result of excessive drinking. People who drink too much often
abuse their partners and their children. At times, both the abuser and the victim have been
drinking.

1) Which is not the result of heavy drinking? 1mark

financial consequences, for example, you may lose money or be short of money, D) you may

PART II- EVALUATION OF COMPETENCE (10 MARKS)

C. READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)
Competence: Talking about hand washing
TASK: Reading a text and providing answers to the questions related to hand washing.
Humans use their hands, the most flexible parts, but they take the least care of these vital parts. The
hands help us at home when we do our domestic chores, in school when we take down notes or demonstrate
a lesson, at work when we carry out our tasks and even in our sleep when we turn sides. Despite these, our
hands continue to be the cause of most health problems: diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, fungi and many other
bacterial infections. If we only choose to wash our hands regularly, the huge number of bacterial infections
that take away the precious life from many victims would reduce drastically and money spent on treatment
would subsidise nutrition and education. Hand washing prevents you from many diseases.
