The eyes were imploringthe woman to give in to his physicaldemands. 2. The poet is conveyingthe image of a lonely and sad man who is desperatefor the woman to satisfyhis lust. 3. The woman regretsnot heedingthe advicegiven to her about charmingmen. 4. I think "the 'hows and whys' indicate that the woman is questioningher actions and chastisingherself.She regretsgiving in to the man's demandsand she is now dealingwith the repercussions of her actions. 5. The line is 'Then you'll never be losingat dice'. 6. The Dersonaadvises her readers to be sure of their partner'ssinceritybefore committingto a relationship. She also cautionsthat relationships are a gamble as people cannot be sure how their relationships will fare. Thereforethey must refrainfrom indulgingin physical pleasures untilthey are sure that they have met the right life oartner. 7. I definitelysympathisewith the woman because she seems to have been duped by a very manipulative man.

Poem - In The Midst of Hardship Skill-based Practice 1. They had been out in the floods lookingfor their son's albino buffalo. 2. The people were physicallywounded, but emotionally they did not show any sign of suffering. 3. (i) Their limbs were scratched. (ii) Their legs were wounded. 4. (i) The bloated carcassessymbolisedeath caused by the floods (ii) The chips of tree barkssymbolise the environmental damage caused by the floods 5. (i) They crackedjokes.

He also advises peopleto acceptsituations that cannotbe changedand to make the most of what they have. The poet wishes us to emulatethe people in the poem who, despitethe hardshipsthey face, still find time to relax and unwind in the comfortof their home. 7. I do not think that the peopleare happy considering the hardshipsthey have to endure. However I do believe that they accept their situationand they strive to make the best of what life has offeredthem. Thus they derive from life'ssimplepleasures, consolation such as spending time with the familyand indulging in enjoyablepastimes. 8. Action : I would move my familyout of the flood-prone area. Reason: Floodsthreatenthe livelihood of farmersand endangerstheir livestock. Thereforethe only way for them to improvetheir lives is to live in an area which is less proneto such natural disasters.

Causes of Stress among Students The Counselling Club recentlycarriedout a surveyto find out the causes of stress among students. The main cause of stress in a student's life is examinations. This predicament is felt by studentsacrossthe board,whetherthey are good studentsor weak ones. Good studentsfeel burdenedwith the expectationsheaped upon them by parents and teachers.With the current emphasis placedon distinctions as a means of obtainingscholarships, good studentshave to achieve near-perfect scores in order to be considered for these scholarships.Weak students, on the other hand, face the pressure of coping with their They need to put in schoolworkand passingexaminations. extra hours of work and attend tuition classesjust to get by in school.The fear of failing is a major cause of stress for these studentsas their future dependson how they perform in schoolexaminations. Peerpressure is anothercauseof stressamongstudents today. Students have to deal with issues such as fitting in with their friendsand keepingup with the latesttrends.Many into partaking students feel pressured in questionable activities which their friendsare involvedin. This can be conflicting for studentswho are aware of what is right and wrong. Bullying is another cause of stress faced by students. Studentswho are susceptible to bullying,teasingand threatsby other studentsfeel inferiorand insecure. More often than not, they are too afraidto complainas they fear the repercussions more than the humiliationof being bullied. Perpetrators of bullyingalso experience stressas they might be experiencing emotional problems that lead to the bullying behaviour. Another source of stress among students is problems faced at home.Many studentscome from homeswherethere is little or no communication between oarentsand children. As such, childrenare left with little guidanceand can easily go astray.Otherchildrenhave to deal with parentsor siblings who do not get alongwith each other.Divorce, separation and financialproblemsare all also causesfor stress in the home. Eliminatingstress is easier said than done. Some students seek the help of counselors or trusted elderly relatives. Unfortunately, othersturn to unhealthy solutions such as drugs and alcoholwhich only providetemporarysolutions lead to a higherlevelof stress.When students and eventually find themselves in stressful situations, they shouldtake some time off to rest and relax. They should spend some time in the companyof cheerfulpeople.They could also make time for leisureactivitiesthat they enjoy. Last but noi least, they shouldthink oositive and tell themselves that thinosare bound to improvein the future. Prepared by,

Some people are not honest about themselves and Internet datingsitescan sometimes attractperverts, especially on the free sites. Profilescan be false or partiallyfalse as some peopleattemptto makethemselves soundas appealing to othersand take it to extremes.Go with the old adage, 'lf it soundstoo good to be true,then it probablyis'and move on! Exchangingphotos is importantbut you do not always get what you see. Some people post photos of them from many years ago and some people do not have photos of themselvesthat are very flattering.Some people are simply not photogenic.Photos do not always tell the truth. Realise that some people are more appealingin person than their photo impliesand vice versa. Some Internetdating sites charge far too much money and somewill not allowyou to view the profiles of otherpeople until you becomea memberand pay the fees. lf you have done plentyof traditional datingand have not found the partneryou are seeking,you mightwant to look to Internetdating as a viable alternative to traditionaldating. lt is excitingand fun to meet new peopleby way of the Internet, providedyou exerciseplenty of cautionand common sense.
