 HANDWRITING ( 1 x 5 = 5 marks )
Rewrite the passage neatly:

We should eat breakfast before going to school. According to

research, when you skip breakfast and go to school, you are more likely to fall
ill because its not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. Also you need
food to do well in your classes. Your body and brain are not going to function
well without energy from food. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
It is better to wake up earlier and have a good breakfast than run to school
without eating.
