ST GEORGE’S GIRLS’ SECONDARY SCHOOL, NAIROBI

DECEMBER HOLIDAY ASSIGNMENT

FORM 2 2016

ENGLISH

A. Read the text The River and the Source and write chapter summaries. B: Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow: Speaking-well can have a dramatic effect on your professional and private life. You may not realise how important the sound of your voice is, or how much you yourself judge other people by the way they sound. Yet experts maintain "that the impression you make on others owes much more to how you speak - the pitch and expressiveness and clarity of your voice - than to what you actually say. . From the quality of your voice and your manner of saying things, people will deduce a great deal about your personality in general and your feelings at the moment of speaking- whether you are feeling confident, shy, frightened, excited, or depressed, whether you are charming, aggressive, or friendly. Such judgements are surprisingly accurate. Sometimes, however, the impression you create by the way. you speak will be unfair, negative or misleading. You may be a world expert on economics, for instance, but if you mumble nervously when giving a speech, you will probably come across as far less knowledgeable than you really are.

A politician may have a barsh, strident voice, or perhaps a jerky, halting style of speaking;either way, this is likely to irritate audiences, and so affect the

speaker's prospects of success.

No one, however, needs to be a slave to poor speaking habits. These habits can be broken - and breaking them will certainly be worth the effort, Improve your speech, and you boost your confidence, sharpen the impression you make on others, and communicate more effectively, at work, in public, and in your private life. Not that, in learning to speak better, you should ever speak in a way that is unnatural to you. Your voice is unique to you, just as your fingerprints are,

and to distort it - as by

'aping' a stipposedly 'correct' accent -'is to distort your true personality when speaking. "Modern speech training therefore no longer aims at some standardised ideal. It focuses instead on the unique qualities of every individual voice. The process is one of exploring the natural potential of each voice and freeing it from tension; and also developing the muscularity and responsiveness of the speech organs. If you desire to be an effective speaker, you should identify aspects of your voice and speech that need improvement and take steps that will help you to

work on your voice "and speech until you reach the highest level you are capable of. '

(Adapted from How to Write and Speak Better by John Ellison Kahn)

LE TOURISME AU KENYA La Grande Vallée du Rift, ľ une des sept merveilles du monde, abrite la plus grande concentration de flamants de la planète, sept grands lacs et un paysage stupéfiant. Tout près du lac Nakuru, au Cœur du parc National du même nom, se trouve une réserve unique de rhinocéros noirs, destinée à la sauvegarde de cette espèce en voie de disparition. Le lac abrite plus ď un million de flamants roses que ľ on peut admirer parmi une végétation luxuriante. Il y a quelques années, en raison des fluctuations du niveau des eaux du lac, les flamants ont dû déserter Nakuru pour le lac Bogoria, situé à quelques kilomètres au nord. L’un des premiers explorateurs de cette région disait souvent de ce lac “qu’il offre le plus beau spectacle de l’Afrique”. Le lac Baringo s’étend au nord de Bogoria et abrite plus de 4,000 espèces ď oiseaux, tandis que plus au nord ś étend le lac Turkana, plus connu sous le nom de “Mer de Jade” Sur les bords du lac, à Koobi Fora, ont été découverts les restes humains fossilisés les plus anciens du monde. C’est pourquoi on dit au Kenya qu’il est le “ berceau de l’humanité”. C’est dans le lac Turkana que ľ on trouve la fameuse perche du Nil, le terrifiant poisson- tigre et la plus grande concentration de crocodile du monde. A proximité de Nairobi, à ľ extrême sud, se trouve le lac Naivasha, le plus pur de la Vallée du Rift, abritant une faune diversifiée d’oiseaux et hippopotames. Zone extrêmement fertile, Naivasha produit une grande quantité de plantes et de fleurs exotiques destinées à ľ exportation et trois vignobles exploités depuis peu. Questions
