IV. Summarise the given passage to one third of its length. Give a suitable title: (1X15=15)
Hawa Bashi was sure that her son, Hari would die soon. An emaciated two-year old with
the resigned gaze of a life-weary elder, Hari had lost his appetite. Even worse, he seemed to have
lost the will to live. His bone-thin legs could no longer hold him up; his mother had to hold him
as Hari sat slumped under the shade of a thorny tree near the village of Shegek Karo. Bashi?s own
village, Bahimi, just a few kilometers from, had been bombed, looted and burned in the summer
of 2003 by the Sudanese Army and the mounted Janjaweed militia, which the government of
Sudan has employed to fight a more-than-two-year-old rebellion in Darfur. (Janjaweed is an
Arabic colloquialism for ?a man with a gun on a horse.?Janjaweed militiamen are primarily
members of nomadic lighter-skinned Arab tribes who?ve been at odd with Darfur?s settled
?African? farmers, who are darker skinned.)
The World Health Organization estimates that between March and October 2004, about
70,000 Darfuris died of disease and malnutrition in camps, and it forecast that between 6000 and
10,000 would die every month. This figure doesn?t include those killed in attacks and massacres
perpetrated by government forces and the Janjaweed. The number of dead may in fact be 250,000
to 300,000. In addition, about 1.8 million have been driven from their homes as a result of the
government campaign to suppress the rebellion. The United States has accused the Sudanese
Government of genocide.
Even though Bashimi and much of the other northern Darfur countryside is now under
the tenuous control of the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and other rebel groups, Hawa Bashi and
hundreds of thousands of other women and children are too terrified of government forces and
their Janjaweed allies to return to their villages. They have scattered around the countryside, in
the desert and the rocky hills, making new ?homes? in the shade of trees the locals call kitra. But
this survival strategy has been slowly killing the weakest: small children and the elderly.
V. Letter Writing : (1X15=15)
Write a letter to the Corporation complaining about absence of street light in your area.
VI. Write an essay in about 350 words on ONE of the topics given below: (1X15=15)
(a) Has English become an International Language.
(b) The advantages of reading.
