PAPER 1 -- ENGLISH LANGUAGE
(Two hours) - 80 marks
Four questions will be set, all of which will be
compulsory.
Question 1: Candidates will be required to write a
composition from a choice of subjects which will test
their ability to: organise, describe, narrate, report,
explain, persuade or argue, present ideas coherently,
compare and contrast ideas and arrive at conclusions,
present relevant arguments and use correct style and
format. The subjects will be varied and may be
suggested by language or by other stimuli such as
pictures. The subjects will be so chosen so as to allow
the candidates to draw on first hand experience or to
stimulate their imagination.
With one subject, a number of suggestions about the
content of the composition will be given, but the use
of the suggestions will be optional and a candidate
will be free to treat the subject in any way that he/she
chooses.
The organisation of subject matter, syntax,
punctuation, correctness of grammatical constructions
and spelling will be expected to be appropriate to the
mode of treatment required by the subject.
Question 2: Candidates will have to write a letter
from a choice of two subjects requiring either a formal
or an informal mode of treatment. Suggestions
regarding the content of the letter may be given. The
layout of the letter with address, introduction,
conclusion, etc., will form part of the assessment.
Candidates will be expected to be familiar with the
use of appropriate salutation, format and style for
letters

Question 3: An unseen passage of prose of about 500
words will be given. Uncommon items of vocabulary,
or structure will be avoided. One question will be set
to test vocabulary. Candidates will be required to
show that they understand the words/phrases in the
context in which they have been used. A number of
questions requiring short answers will also be asked
on the passage. These questions will test the
candidates’ ability to understand the explicit content
and organisation of the passage and to infer
information, intentions and attitudes from it.
The last question will consist of a summary that will
test the candidates’ ability to distinguish main ideas
from supporting details and to extract salient points to
re-express them in the form of a summary. Candidates
will be given clear indications of what they are to
summarise and of the length of the summary.

Question 4: There will be a number of short answer
questions to test the candidates' knowledge of
functional grammar, structure and usage of the
language. All the items in this question will be
compulsory. They will consist of sentence completion,
multiple choice or other short answer type of
questions.
