LET’S OBSERVE AND READ

ACTIVITY 2: Let’s read the following excerpt.

EXTRACT

“The fault in our stars”

(Chapter 5) By John Green

Gus and Hazel have a discussion on the book, An Imperial Affliction. In

addition, Gus brings the news of his contact with the book’s author, Van
Houten, a withdrawn individual living in Amsterdam.

After giving Hazel the email, she decides to write to the author with the various
5 questions she has on the novel. Later, she receives an email from Peter
indicating that Van Houten can only answer the questions in person.

Despite the offer, Hazel cannot ask her parents to fund the trip to Amsterdam
considering the amount of money they have already spent on her. Luckily, Gus
10
comes to Hazel's home a day later and takes her to a Dutch-made sculpture, for
a Dutch-inspired picnic.

During the picnic, he tells her about his decision to use his wish from the Genie
Foundation to visit the author in Amsterdam. The foundation always grants the
desires of children living with life-threatening illnesses, and Gus asks Hazel to
15
accompany him on the trip. This decision overjoys Hazel; however, she gets
worried about the increased pressure she experiences in her lungs in addition
to the developing pain in her shoulder.

18 Nonetheless, she comforts herself, as she clearly knows that the PET scan will
take place in a few weeks.

LET’S UNDERSTAND
ACTIVITY 3: dear students check the following information.

What is the higher level interna! Assessment (Individual oral)?

The aim of this assessment is to measure your ability to:

 Produce a presentation in fluent and accurate English
 Understand and produce spoken English accurately and fluently in two conversations.

These are the main points:

 Your teacher will select a range of extracts of roughly 300 words from the two works of
literature that you have studied for English B’s higher level.
 Your teacher will give you two of these extracts: one from each work you have studied.
 You will have 20 minutes in which to decide quickly which extract to present and then
prepare your presentation.

A B
Without a shadow of a doubt
this excerpt portrays a conflict
regarding an individual versus
another individual which is
displayed clearly when Jack
and Ma discuss about Jack
receiving a surprise gift "I prefer
a surprise and me knowing."
that makes me understand he
doesn’t like surprises of this
kind.
In my book, the only characters we can find
in this passage are Jack and his mother. By
far the outstanding elements to be analysed
are the characters’ thoughts and feelings.
For instance, Jack’s mom demonstrates his
love to her only child by giving him a present
although it seems she doesn’t have the
money to purchase the right present for a
five year old child, since children like toys at
that age.
Furthermore, we can see Jack’s unhappy
reaction when realizing his present is a
drawing of himself, which triggers a subtle
rejection due to the fact it was drawn while
he was sleeping as he says "Not--when
you're on at the same time I'm off."
C
In a nutshell,the message I
could highlight is Ma’s
maternal love displayed
throughout the extract in
spite of the difficulties she
might be facing.From my
experience, mothers are
devoted to their kids
E she gives Jack a portrait of himself on his
I am going to talk about
the extract from the novel
“Room” written by Emma
Donoghue.
D
This extract comes from the introduction of the
story as this depicts Jack’s fifth birthday and
their thoughts and feelings around it
F
The most relevant themes are “Love and
maternity”. While the former is evidenced when
birthday, the latter is clearly captured at the end of
the extract when she lies down on bed so as to
breastfeed Jack. What is more, the importance of
birthday presents is portrayed in the passage.
