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
2
from a specialist speech
school and a childrens 5
classic he was able to tell
his mum Reama exactly
what he felt for her.
3
10
Tucking her son Tait
into bed one night, for the
very first time, his mum
Reama Sherman heard the
words she had been 15
4 longing for all her life. Her
little seven-year-old boy
gave her a big hug and
whispered I love you.
Most other mums would
have heard those special 20
5 words hundreds of times by
the time their child had
reached Taits age. But for
Reama, it was a heartmelting moment as until
then little Tait had lived in 25
a silent world.
Tait, now 10, suffers
from
a
rare
brain
abnormality,
Bilateral 30
Perisylvain
Polymicrogyria,
which
affects the part of his brain
concerned with language. It
7 means Tait knows what he
wants to say but his mouth
and lips cant make the 35
sounds. The condition is so
rare that there isnt even an
association
to
help
sufferers and their families.
SULIT

For years Reama, 40,
8 fought to get a diagnosis
for her son and the 40
professional help he so
desperately needed. But
when that help finally
came, the results were
9 astounding Tait finally
found his voice after seven 45
years of being unable to
speak.

Reama says, It was

the most amazing moment. 50
To not be able to
communicate
with
someone that you love
1 most in the world, and not
be able to say those words
that connect you is just 55
heartbreaking. We would
always use sign language
to say I love you but one
day when I was putting Tait
to bed, he pulled me in to 60
1 hug him and said the words
uv you. It was a heartstopping moment.
But incredibly, what
had helped him say these 65
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 70
larger measures to quantify
how much they love each
other.It has been a muchloved book of ours so I
would always try to think 75
of a new measure of my
love for Tait, says Reama.
I would often include
something that he had done
SULIT
SULIT
12
1119/2
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 an educational
think tank and husband
Richard 48, a graphic
designer, from HenleyUpon-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
coordinating
the
movements to produce
clear speech. Then he had
an MRI scan that gave us
SULIT
SULIT
13
1119/2
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 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.
Reama explains, He
was a frustrated, lonely
little boy whose confidence
had been damaged by his
previous experience at
school. Tait is cognitively
age- appropriate 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 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 make
the words live and last
longer so that the children
can retain them.
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
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
SULIT
SULIT
15
1119/2
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 cant even
explain how amazing it has
been. Hearing your child
tell you they love you is
priceless.

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.

In the village so quiet and deserted
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
