For all the level 3 LP students and example from last year of a longer type question


QUESTION 4

Read the following scenario below and answer the questions that follow.



Mafa is a ten-year-old boy.  He is a physically strong boy like his father, Clide. Mafa is shy, has introvert behaviour, and enjoys watching soccer indoors. He hates his father's job as it steals away their time to spend together.  Mafa always seeks his father's attention but can not find it.  Clide is a quantity surveyor, owning his own company.  He is a very busy man, which is likely a reason for his short temperament. He dearly loves his job and it steals away his family time. He sometimes attends to the boys' soccer games during weekends at their school.  Mafa likes soccer and fishing just like his father.  Mafa has a brother, Faith. Faith is an extrovert, active and a very outspoken boy. Faith's academic performance, like his brother's is viewed as adequate. He struggles with Mathematics at school but is good in languages. He loves his father dearly and looks up to his father and wants to follow in his footsteps. Like his father, his short temperament always leads to conflict with his brother Mafa.
