to ‘visit’.

Jolting along dirt tracks, we drove out towards the reserve. Slowly the wilderness took over. I
scanned the thickening forest for wildlife, unaware my tracking skills would take years to
develop.

Use your own words in your explanation.

My first days felt like shedding one layer of skin and growing into another. As you track a tiger,
the language of the jungle envelopes you in its folds. You’re alert to the tension in every rustling
leaf, in every impression on the ground. Animal tracks whisper stories of the night. You’re a
jungle detective seeking clues of tigers having padded past.

Question 3

You are Veda. It is a few months later and you have started studying at your new dance school. You
write a letter home to your parents, reflecting on your past experiences.

In your letter you should explain:

• why dancing has always been so important in your life

• how the adults in your life felt about your dancing and how this made you feel
• your thoughts now about the conversation you had with your parents after you won the competition.

Write the words of the letter.

Base your letter on what you have read in Text C, but be careful to use your own words. Address each
of the three bullet points.

Write about 250 to 350 words.

Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to 10 marks for the quality
of your writing.
