QUESTION 1
1.1 Read the following extract and answer the questions given below.
In the first five years of life an evolving experience occurs in the child's mind-body complex
which precedes action and influences what the child will do in a given situation. As the child
develops cognitively, emotionally, and physically, there is a growing ability to evaluate a
situation and anticipate the consequences of behaviour before choosing an action. One of the
most significant variables that will influence the outcome of the child's evolution is the child's
concept of self. The child who has either a negative sense of self, or is experiencing
uncertainty concerning personal worth, is more likely to respond inappropriately to life's
decisions. The child who holds a negative view of self is likely to project this element of
uncertainty concerning self onto the environment, thus provoking responses that, in effect,
reinforce this negative view of self. In contrast, the child who holds a positive view of self is
much more likely to project feelings or competence onto the environment, initiating
constructive actions and producing positive responses. It is in the early years that patterns for
life are most likely established. Though not unchangeable, modifications of these patterns or
attitudes towards self are not easily achieved.

QUESTION 3
Born in Kasungu, Malawi, William Kamkwamba is a young schoolboy who comes from a family
of farmers who live in the nearby village of Wimbe. William also dabbles in fixing radios for his
friends and neighbours and spends his free time looking through the local junkyard for
salvageable electronic components. Although he is soon banned from attending school due
to his parents' inability to pay his tuition fees, William blackmails his science teacher (who is
in a secret relationship with William's sister) into letting him continue attending his class and
have access to the school's library where he learns about electrical engineering and energy
production.
By the mid-2000s, failing crops due to drought and the resulting famine have devastated
William's village, leading to riots over government rationing and William's family being robbed
of their already meager grain stores. People soon begin abandoning the village, and William's
sister elopes with his former teacher in order to leave her family "one less mouth to feed".
Seeking to save his village from the drought, William devises a plan to build a windmill to
power an electric water pump that he had scavenged earlier. William builds a small prototype
which works successfully, but to build a larger windmill, William requires his father, Trywell, to
give permission to dismantle the family bicycle for parts, which is the only bicycle in the village
and the family's last major asset. His father believes the exercise futile and destroys the
prototype and forces William to toil in the fields. After William's dog dies of starvation and hope
seems lost, William's mother, Agnes, intervenes and urges his father to reconsider. William
and his father reconcile while William buries his dog. With the help of his friends and the few
