Sleep soothes our aching bodies after a long day of work. Write an 8- sentence paragraph
about the importance of sleep, and what are the bad effects of lack of sleep?
Experts frequently advise us that sleep is very essential for a person's health and
wellbeing. They also warn that sleep loss leads to many health problems. We need sleep
when we are tired or drowsy after too much work or efforts. The amount of sleep varies from
one person to another depending on several factors such as; age, daily routine, the quality of
our sleep and the genetic make-up. The great importance of having enough sleep is that we
can have a good memory, keep fit and avoid mistakes in work. But what will happen if we
had lack amount of sleep? We will suffer in our memory and the ability to remember or
concentrate. Moreover, we will not be physically fit. Finally, sleep is a blessing from God. If
we use it properly, we can enjoy our life mentally and physically.

Examples
Passage 1: Read the following passage carefully, then do as required:
We all have different hopes in life. Everybody wants to achieve something. In order to
achieve your goal, you need to follow some steps. You need to have a clear picture of what
you want to achieve. Only if you are 100% sure of what you want, you will be able to
achieve it. You have to focus on your goal. You can never gain without pain. The most
important thing to keep you confined to your goal is to keep yourself motivated. Write down
the small obstaclesthat have to be crossed. Reward yourself when you have crossed your
obstacle. It is important to enjoy the fruits of achieving your goal. Don't forget that success is
to get up when you fall and try again more intelligently. Always remind yourself that failure
is not an option. It is just a temporary setback.
In FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous passage in answer to the
following question:
What are the steps you need to follow to achieve your goals?
I need to have a clear picture of what I want to achieve. Secondly, I have to focus on my
goal. Thirdly, I need to keep myself motivated. Finally, I shouldn’t forget that success is to
get up when I fall and try again more intelligently.
Passage 2 Read the following passage, then do as required:

Illegal immigration is a big problem for some countries. To prevent it, certain
measurements can be applied. Creating more job opportunities in the immigrants' home
countries is a good way. If migrants can find jobs at home they will have no reason to
immigrate. Also people need to be warned against illegal immigration before they leave their
home countries. If more people are aware about the risks, maybe fewer will break the law.
Setting penalties to illegal immigration is also important. The immigrants, though, are not
the only ones who need to be punished. Smugglers, who transport immigrants into a country
illegally need to be punished too. Finally, provide a way for immigrants to return to their
home countries. To apply this solution, governments could establish phone numbers where
immigrants can call for help in returning to their countries.
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the previous
passage in an answer to the following question:
What can governments do to solve the problem of illegal immigration?

Governments can help each other to create job opportunities in home countries.
They can also raise people’s awareness of illegal immigration dangers and penalties.
Forcing laws against illegal migrants and smugglers is a very good wat to decrease the
problem. Lastly, helping migrants to get back safe to their counties might also help.

VI- Reading Comprehension: (110 Marks)
Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
Moving to a foreign country is a scary idea for some people. This is especially true if
they must leave their possessions, friends, and even families behind. Nonetheless, millions of
people do this every year. Moreover, many are breaking laws in order to migrate.
The World Migration Report, published by the International Organization for Migration
(IOM), says as many as 3 million unauthorized migrants were living in Europe in 1998. This
is a large increase from 1991, when there were less than 2 million. The steady decrease in
legal immigration is one reason for the increase in illegal movement. However, the demand
for foreign labour has not decreased in many areas. The foreigners who want those jobs must
immigrate illegally to work.
One way to prevent immigration is to create more jobs in the immigrants' home countries. If
they can find good jobs at home, they will have no reason to immigrate. A truly global
economy would mean that each country has enough jobs. Second people need to be warned
against illegal immigration before they leave their home countries. If more people are
educated about the risks, maybe fewer will break the law.
Measures to penalize illegal immigration are also important. The immigrants, though, are
not only ones who need to be punished. Smugglers are people who transport immigrants into
a country illegally. The immigrants must pay the smugglers a high fee, so smuggling
immigrants is a very profitable business. Punishment needs to focus on the smugglers.
Moreover, countries need to make laws together so there is a clear message to smugglers and
immigrants. Finally, the laws need to be enforced. The last part of the solution needs to
provide ways to return immigrants to their home countries. It is best if immigrants leave by
choice. The foreign government might even provide assistance to help them return home. To
fulfill this solution, governments should establish phone numbers where immigrants can call
for help in returning to their countries. Additionally, governments need to consider each
case. Sometimes, it might be better to let some people remain in the new country. For
example, some immigrants cannot return home for political reasons.
Illegal immigration will continue to be a problem until economic prosperity and equality
reaches every country. Until that day comes, countries must start to cooperate to establish a
global solution including prevention, punishment, and the return of immigrants to their home
countries.

In FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous passage in an answer to
the following question: ( 4X15=60)
Animals living in modern zoos enjoy several advantages over animals in the wild;
however, they must suffer some disadvantages. One advantage of living in the zoo is that
the animals are separated from their natural predators; they are protected and can
therefore, live without risk of being attacked. Another advantage is that they are regularly
fed a special, well balanced diet; thus, they do not have to hunt for food or suffer times
when food is hard to find. On the other hand, zoo animals face several disadvantages. The
most important disadvantage is that since they do not have to hunt for food or face their
enemies, some animals became bored, discontented or even nervous. Another
disadvantage is that zoo visitors can endanger their lives. Some animals can pick up
airborne diseases from humans.
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the previous

passage in answer to the following question: ( 4x15= 60 Marks)

from being harmed by their enemies. They eat good and well-balanced diet. However,
they feel bored and nervous because they do nothing. Also, they can pick up airborne
diseases from humans.
