Exercise 1

You are advised to spend about 30 minutes on this question.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

If you were thinking of keeping a pet, make sure you are well-prepared.
Otherwise, you might make a big mistake of getting a pet that does not suit you or
it can be a big case of not taking proper care of your pet. The consequences
cannot be good. Pets make good companions if you take good care of them. They
also need to be trained.
First, you have to know what food to feed them. If you keep a dog or a cat,
that is not a problem. You can feed them the leftovers. Besides this, you can feed
them special dog or cat food. If you keep a bird or fish, you have to feed them a
different type of food.
Provide a good and a safe home for your pet. Your dog or cat can be kept
in your compound or living room. If it is a bird, you need to have a cage. If it is a
fish, you need a big aquarium.
Find out more about the habits of the pet you want to keep. You can read
about them in books. It is good to know about their habits so that you can look
after them properly. Pets have moods like us too. When you have a pet, make
sure you spend time with it. A pet is a good companion and you certainly need to
spend time with a companion.

Exercise 2

You are advised to spend about 30 minutes on this question.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Exercising carries with it many benefits that will help us lead better
lives. Physical activity burns calories, so the more you just get up and move, the
more calories you will burn. You even burn calories doing things like running the
vacuum cleaner or going up and down steps.
Exercise increases your metabolic rate. Perhaps this is why active people
can Eat anything and not gain weight. It also lowers the risk of many diseases,
including heart attacks.
Exercise is good for body and soul. Exercising improves mood and due to
the chemicals it releases in the brain called endorphins, it gives you an overall
feeling of well-being. This is the same chemical that being in love or eating
chocolate induces.
Exercise, particularly in the morning, may help you sleep better. Just
be sure not to exercise too close to your bedtime because it may keep you
awake. If you need to exercise within a few hours of going to bed, make sure
it's only a brisk walk. Experts say you should allow yourself about three hours
between exercise and going to bed.

Your summary must

 not be more than 60 words, including the 10 words given below.
 be in continuous writing (not in note form)
 be written in ONE paragraph.

Regular exercising will help us stay healthy in more ways…
