Dear Learner,
I used 4 different test papers, per grade and per term (1) in these notes. The reason why
I mixed the papers of Gr 10, 11 and 12 is because of the similarities. MANY of the same
type of questions are repeated. If you master Grade 10, then Grade 11 and 12 will be a
breeze.
There is NO guarantee that everything in these notes is going to be in your test, but
these notes is VERY good practice. First, answer the questions in the activities and then
you mark your work.
Good luck, Juffrou Ansie

The effect of the words “From here to
disappear” in the advertisement:
The use of rhyme makes the sentence
catchy and creates a rhythm.
Explain “from here to disappear” in
your own words.

Cadburys make news again
with bright new box and gay new
wrappers for
their Roses assortment. These wrappers
are not only decorative, they’re useful.
They help you to tell your favourite Roses
centres at a glance. And what a delicious
assortment they are
no wonder everybody says ‘I want
Cadburys’.
