Question 1(b).
In this question, candidates were given a proverb and were asked to illustrate the meaning of the proverb with a story. Those candidates who attempted this question did not understand the proverb, thereby gave a 'wrong illustration.
Question 1(c).
Here, candidates were asked to write an article to be published in their school magazine on 'Who I will want to be like.'
Most candidates attempted the question very well and gave points like;
- ikpo aha onye ahu na odidi ya
- ideputa ihe ndi kpatara iji choo idi ka ya dika omume ya
- uru 0 ga - abara gi ma idi ka ya.
Question 1(d).
Candidates were requested to write a discussion by two students on what they will like to be in future.
Unfortunately, most of these candidates did not produce their answers in a dialogue form. Therefore, they scored very low marks.
Question 1(e).
The question requested candidates to write a letter to a friend staying in a rural area to migrate to an urban area.
Many candidates answered this question but few could not write up to the required number of words.
