LIFE ORIENTATION GRADE 12 TASK 1 ACTIVITY 1 – TERM 1 2023

1.1. Study the following extract and answer the questions that follow:

FROM MATRIC RESULTS TO FREE HIGHER EDUCATION


Matric results, as a common social stressor, tend to raise a lot of emotions among
leaners and their parents, as some learner’s commitment to further studies have not
yet been finalised due to various challenges they may face.
However, some of these challenges may be overcome after the most recent
announcement of free higher education by the government.
Unfortunately, many hopeful applicants could still be turned away by tertiary
institutions.

1.2. Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION


Our personalities influence the effectiveness of our communication with others.
Therefore, developing appropriate personality traits is necessary to deal with different
types of personalities, emotions and conflict situations in life effectively.
Being emotionally healthy does not necessarily mean that you are happy all the time
or that you are satisfied with yourself and the relationships you have with others.
Rather, it may mean that you are aware of your feelings and thoughts about yourself
and those of others.
This awareness and acknowledgement may help you to develop better coping
strategies which could be used to deal with conflict or changes in relationships.
[Adapted from www.familydoctor.org. Accessed on 25 January 2021].

1.2.1. Explain how a negative attitude towards life could affect your communication
with others. 1x2 (2)

1.3. Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.

Sitting for an examination has proven to be the most difficult aspect of general student
assessment. Most students fail an assessment, not because they do not know the
content, but because they cannot effectively respond to the questions within the
stipulated time.
Knowing your content does not mean that you are able to effectively answer
examination questions since there are factors, such as managing anxiety, which play
a role in determining your success in an examination.
Interestingly, examination writing skills, such as time management, are typical life skills
because they could be used to deal with daily life demands.
