TASK 4 Read the poem below carefully, then answer the questions
that follow in complete sentences, correct grammar and

Illiteracy, illiteracy is the curse of society. There is no room in this world

for an illiterate boy or girl. To read and write you must learn.

For an education you must yearn, read as many books as you can.

That should be your only plan. In your spare time, in your leisure time, read instead of
going to lime.

Ask your parents to join the library and make reading your only priority.

After you have read, write what you have learnt and be proud to be called a bookworm.

K.S. Charles
