Questions 16 to 25
Read the following text and answer the questions that follow.

Buy Nothing Day was started in 1992 by the Media Foundation, a


group based in Vancouver, Canada. The purpose of Buy Nothing Day is
to ask people to not shop for a day and instead to spend time with family
and friends.
It is celebrated on the last weekend in November when the
Christmas shopping period begins. It was started as a means of
challenging over-consumption and the waste that consumption produces
by asking people to consider if they really need all the things they are
buying and to consider the personal, social and environmental effects of
our shopping addiction.
Now, Buy Nothing Day is celebrated in more than 62 countries and
more than one million people participate in events. These include street
theatre outside major department stores, meditating in Santa Claus
costumes, cutting-up-credit-card events and free food parties.

Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage


1

Due to a rare brain condition, Tait Sherman lived in a silent world, but after
finally getting help from a specialist speech school and a childrens classic he
was able to tell his mum Reama exactly what he felt for her.

Tucking her son Tait into bed one night, for the very first time, his mum
Reama Sherman heard the words she had been longing for all her life. Her little 5
seven-year-old boy gave her a big hug and whispered I love you. Most other
mums would have heard those special words hundreds of times by the time their
child had reached Taits age. But for Reama, it was a heart-melting moment as
until then little Tait had lived in a silent world.

Tait, now 10, suffers from a rare brain abnormality, Bilateral Perisylvain 10
Polymicrogyria, which affects the part of his brain concerned with language. It
means Tait knows what he wants to say but his mouth and lips cant make the
sounds. The condition is so rare that there isnt even an association to help
sufferers and their families. For years Reama, 40, fought to get a diagnosis for her
son and the professional help he so desperately needed. But when that help finally 15
came, the results were astounding Tait finally found his voice after seven years of
being unable to speak.

Reama says, It was the most amazing moment. To not be able to


communicate with someone that you love most in the world, and not be able to say
those words that connect you is just heartbreaking. We would always use sign 20
language to say I love you but one day when I was putting Tait to bed, he pulled
me in to hug him and said the words uv you. It was a heart-stopping moment.

But incredibly, what had helped him say these three words was reading the
bestselling childrens book, Guess How Much I Love You?, in which a couple of
hares, a father and son, use larger and larger measures to quantify how much they 25
love each other.It has been a much-loved book of ours so I would always try to
think of a new measure of my love for Tait, says Reama. I would often include
something that he had done that week such as I love you a hundred lengths of the
swimming pool. We always used to sign the words but this was the first time Tait
had been able to say them himself.

It had been a long battle for Tait. At first he had seemed like any other baby
and reached his developmental milestones like any other toddler apart from his
speech. He could barely say a few words and these could only be understood by
people who knew him. It was when he was three that he was finally referred to the
NHS speech and language service. However it took his parents Reama, a director at 35
an educational think tank and husband Richard 48, a graphic designer, from
Henley-Upon-Thames, Oxon another 18 months to get him the help he needed.

Reama, who has two other teenage children, explains, He was four and a
half when we finally got a diagnosis. Before that they had diagnosed him as having
oral dyspraxia a condition where the child has difficulty in making and 40
coordinating the movements to produce clear speech. Then he had an MRI scan
that gave us the diagnosis of BPP. It was pretty gut-wrenching but it was really
good to have a label for it. Having a diagnosis means that you can actually access
the help you need.

Although in a mainstream primary school with some access to speech and 45


language specialists, none of the other children knew sign language. Tait was still
struggling and it wasnt until Reama came across the childrens communication
charity I Can and their specialist language school in Meath 30 miles away in
Ottershaw, Surrey, that, after a legal battle with her local council, she finally got
the support she and Tait needed.
50

Reama explains, He was a frustrated, lonely little boy whose confidence


had been damaged by his previous experience at school. Tait is cognitively ageappropriate so putting him in a school where nobody had the same needs was
wrong. After he got a place at Meath aged six, the improvements to his life were
immediate. The Meath School staff gave him techniques to help him make sounds 55
by moving his mouth and lips into certain shapes, and there are speech and
language therapists in every class. Pupils are put into class groups according to
language comprehension rather than year group enabling all pupils to access the
curriculum, and work is differentiated to gain the optimal learning from each pupil.
Teachers use lots of visual support such as pictures, symbols, spellings and signs to 60
make the words live and last longer so that the children can retain them.

10

Four years on, the difference is almost miraculous. Tait constructs long
sentences, has conversations and can usually be understood when buying
something in a shop or when answering the phone. Reama says, He started to
make progress straight away; there was a difference in him. He was able to belong 65
somewhere; he was with other pupils who were like him, so they find a way to
connect that doesnt always need words. Previously he was in a mainstream school
with a language unit and he felt isolated. The staffs werent trained well enough to
really understand his needs. It just was a horrendous time.

Just 18 months later, Tait finally said those three words that meant so much 70
to him and his mum. Now three years after his mum first heard his voice, he can
finally make himself understood. He can speak in sentences, some words are
tricky to understand, but he can get by, people can understand him, says Reama.
He will always struggle to be able to make words sound normal, but he is the most
determined child. The difference that I Can and Meath have made to our lives, I 75
cant even explain how amazing it has been. Hearing your child tell you they love
you is priceless.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
ARE YOU STILL PLAYING YOUR FLUTE?

Are you still playing your flute?


When there is hardly time for our love
I am feeling guilty
To be longing for your song
The melody concealed in the slim hollow of the bamboo
Uncovered by the breath of an artist
Composed by his fingers
Blown by the wind
To the depth of my heart.

Are you still playing your flute?


In the village so quiet and deserted

Are you still playing your flute?

Amidst the sick rice field

The more it disturbs my conscience

While here it has become a luxury

to be thinking of you

To spend time watching the rain

in the hazard of you

Gazing at the evening rays

my younger brothers unemployed and desperate

Collecting dew drops

my people disunited by politics

Or enjoying the fragrance of flowers.

my friend slaughtered mercilessly


this world is too old and bleeding.
