2 2 Question 1: Comprehension Read the text A and answer the questions that follow in full sentences. Spelling counts, so be careful. Text A Tools of Persuasion Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with your point of view. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is a speaker s way of convincing the audience that she is a credible source. An audience will consider a speaker credible if she seems trustworthy, reliable, and sincere. This can be done in many ways. For example, a speaker can develop ethos by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you would be more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fire fighter. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person who has their best interests at heart. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them. Pathos is a speaker s way of connecting with an audience s emotions. For example, a speaker who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, a charity organization that helps animals might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats. These images are intended to fill the viewers with pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money. Logos is the use of facts, information, statistics, or other evidence to make your argument more convincing. An audience will be more likely to believe you, if you have data to back up your claims. For example, a commercial for soap might tell you that laboratory tests have shown that their soap kills all 7,000,000 of the bacteria living on your hands right now. This piece of information might make you more likely to buy their brand of soap. Presenting this evidence is much more convincing than simply saying, our soap is the best! Use of logos can also increase a speaker s ethos; the more facts a speaker includes in his argument, the more likely you are to think that he is educated and trustworthy. Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when they are used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. The next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.
3 3 Questions: 1.1 What does it mean, to persuade someone? (2) 1.2 According to the text, is it better to use ethos, pathos, logos or a combination of the three persuasion techniques? (1) 1.3 Which country is Aristotle from? (1) 1.4 As used in paragraph 2, which one of the following is the best antonym for credible? A. unintelligent B. boring C. dishonest D. amazing (1) 1.5 Amy is trying to convince her mother to buy her a pair of $200 shoes. She says: Mom, the shoes I have are really old and ugly. If I don t get these new shoes, everyone at school is going to laugh at me. I will be so embarrassed, that I will want to die. What form of persuasion is Amy using here, or is it a combination of the three methods? Explain. (2) 1.6 Explain how logos is more likely to improve ethos than pathos is? (2) 1.7 Refer to paragraph 2: A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person, who has their best interests at heart. Explain what the idiom, has their best interests at heart means. (2) 1.8 Gareth is running for mayor. He tells his audience: Under our current mayor, there have been 15,000 new cases of unemployment. If he stays in office, who knows how many more people will lose their jobs? The number could go up even higher. When I was the CEO of Magnatech, I helped to create over 1,000 new jobs. I can do the same thing for this city, if you vote for me. Gareth uses all three forms of persuasion here. Next to each persuasive technique give a phrase from this paragraph which shows this technique being used. (3) 1.9 Is persuasion an abstract or concrete noun? (1) 1.10 Which one of the following is a non-countable noun: A: teeth B: fear C: soap D: speaker (1)
4 Which one of the following is an abstract noun: A: heart B: interests C: dentist D: fire fighter (1) 1.12 Rewrite the following sentences. Circle the subject and underline the predicate: a) Similarly, a charity organization that helps animals might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats. (2) b) This piece of information might make you more likely to buy their brand of soap. (2) 1.13 Imagine you were running an SPCA and you were promoting the welfare of animals. In no more than five sentences, use ethos, pathos and logos to persuade others to donate to your charity. (3) Total: 24
5 5 Question 2: Poetry Comprehension It is sometimes easy to be confused between appearance and reality. Most people believe photographs give a true reflection of reality, but sometimes they only tell part of the story. Read the following poem and answer the questions which follow in full sentences. Text B Snapshot By Sheila Simmons Look, this is me! 1 Here in this snap the colour of pale tea, With a sprigged frock on, clutching Grandma s hand Out in the grimy yard. A windy day, (she s thrusting back her hair) 5 And warm, (sleeves rolled, arm s bare). Ah, but it doesn t show all! The gold inhuman glaring of the lanky hens Jostling and plaining around the enamel bowl, Or Grandma s fingers, cobwebbed with grime 10 Scooping dry grains, to send them Scattering, bouncing Over feathery backs; How the beaks clinked in the bowl, Stabbed at dropped corn, 15 Threatened my white-socked legs, Or how I shrank behind that safe black bulk... It doesn t show how Gran enticed, Urging me forward, wheedling... Come on, my duck, you give them some. 20 Doesn t record my moments piercing terror, Only shows the empty bowl.

Evidence has been included to support these facts. State the facts of that day and give the evidence which supports them. (2) 2.13 Explain what the title of the poem means.
