Question 1
Read the story below and then answer the questions that follow.
I want to be a chef!
By Kgosi Kgosi
In the town of Mahikeng, there lived a young boy named Kabelo. He loved nothing
more than cooking. He cooked good food that everyone in his family enjoyed. Kabelo
was also good at baking. He baked cakes and bread. He also made soup for homeless
people in his community.
One morning at school, Mrs Ramaila, Kabelo’s teacher, asked everyone in the class
to say what they would like to do after they finish school one day.
A girl stood up. “I would like to be an astronaut and go to space,” she said.
“I would like to be a doctor,” said one of the boys.
Then Kabelo stood up. “I would like to earn a living by cooking,” he said. “I want to be
a chef.”
All the children were shocked. First they stared at Kabelo and then they all started
laughing.
“But cooking is for girls,” laughed one of the girls.
Mrs Ramaila told everyone to be quiet. “You can be anything you want to be, Kabelo,”
she said kindly. “Don’t listen to them.” But Kabelo’s feelings were already hurt.
On the way home from school the other children kept on teasing him.
When he got home, Kabelo found his father washing the dishes while his mother made
lunch.
“How was school today?” asked his father.
“Everyone laughed at me when I told them I wanted to be a chef and cook for a living,”
explained Kabelo. “They said that boys don’t cook and that cooking is for girls. They
also said real boys play rugby and soccer. But I don’t like those things!”
