4. Read the following poem twice at normal reading pace. (DO NOT dictate the extract for candidates
to write.)

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

5 Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

10 I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
15 I rise
I rise
I rise.
