Read carefully Passage A, The Healer, in the Reading Booklet Insert and then answer Questions 1

and 2 on this Question Paper.

Question 1

You are Gant. Following a successful rescue attempt and your return to your home city, you give a talk

for your colleagues and students at the university about your experiences in the past.

Write the words of your talk.

In your talk you should:

• describe the challenges and dangers of life in the past and how you adapted

• explain the efforts you made to improve the lives of your family and the people around you

• suggest some things you have learned from the experience and how it has changed you and your

attitudes to modern life.

Base your talk on what you have read in Passage A, but be careful to use your own words. Address

each of the three bullet points.

Begin your talk, ‘Colleagues and students, my life in the last ten years has been a strange one…’.

Write about 250 to 350 words.

Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to 5 marks for the quality of

your writing.
