Olim autem in insula Britannia, incolae pugnabant contra piratas. Incolae timebant piratas. Piratae habitabant longinquas terras Galliam, Norvegiam, [et] Siciliam. Hieme manebant in casis. Postea navigabant trans aquas, quod desiderabant magnas divitias. Aurum et clarae gemmae erant gratae piratis. Aquae circum Britanniam erant interdum quietae, [sed] saepe periculosae. Itaque rapidae naviculae piratarum navigabant noctu, et mane cum undae non erant altae, exspectabant prope maritimam oram. Tum piratae natabant celeriter ad terram, et celabant se in densas silvas. In propinquis agris erant multae villae et tabernae incolarum. Piratae amabant delere villas et tabernas. Mox quoque vastabant agros. Ubique miserae feminae clamabant, territae puellae lacrimabant, [et] bestiae errabant in viis. Nunc agricolae non laborabant in agris; temptabant servare familiam et villam. Sed piratae vulnerabant agricolas sagittis. Dicebant, Si desideratis servare pulchras filias, date piratis divitias. Incolae rogabant, Piratae, cur pugnatis nos? Laboramus aestate! Cur non laboratis in agris? Ubi est justitia? Nonne possumus servare nostras familias? Fortiter oppugnabant piratas, sed piratae necabant agricolas facile. Denique piratae portant divitias ad suam terram. Monstrant pecuniam et gemmas laetis familiis. Tum habent magnam cenam. Each section is worth 1 mark. Deduct.5 mark for each error.

3 Question 2. Unseen Translation. (20 marks) The Pirates and the Farmers. Today in our land we have peace. Inhabitants do not fight against inhabitants. Once upon a time however on the island of Britain, the inhabitants used to fight against pirates. The inhabitants used to fear the pirates. The pirates used to live in faraway lands France, Norway, and Sicily. In winter they used to stay in their cottages. Later they used to sail across the waters, because they were wanting great riches. Gold and bright jewels were pleasing to the pirates. The waters around Britain were sometimes calm, but often dangerous. And so the swift boats of the pirates used to sail at night, and in the morning when the waves were not high, they used to wait near the sea coast. Then the pirates used to swim quickly to land, and they used to conceal themselves in the thick woods. In the nearby fields were many houses and shops of the residents. The pirates used to love to destroy the houses and shops. Soon they also used to destroy the fields. Everywhere pitiful women were screaming, frightened girls were crying, and animals were straying on the roads. Now the farmers were not working in their fields; they were trying to save their family and their house. But the pirates were wounding the farmers with arrows. They were saying, If you want to save your beautiful daughters, give the pirates your riches. The inhabitants used to ask, O pirates, why do you fight us? We work in summer! Why do you not work in the fields? Where is justice? Surely we can save our families? Bravely were they attacking the pirates, but the pirates used to slaughter the farmers easily. Finally, the pirates carry the riches to their own land. They show the money and jewels to their happy families. Then they hold a large banquet. 3
