IV. Head the following passage and prepare a precis of it.
(a) I like being with children and talking to them, and even more, playing
with them. For a moment I forget that I am terribly old and that it is a
very long time ago since I was a child.- But when I sit down to write to
you I cannot forget my age and the distance that separates' you from me.
Old people have a habit 'of delivering pennons and good advice to the
young. I remember that I disliked this very much long ago when I was a
boy so I suppose I do not like it very much either. Grownups also have
a habit of appearing to be very wise, even though very few of them
possess much wisdom. I have not quite made up my mind yet whether
I am very wise or not. Sometimes, listening to others, I feel I must be
very wise and brilliant and important. Then looking at myself, 1 begin to
doubt this. In any event, people who are wise do not talk about their
wisdom and do not. behave as if they were superior persons.
What then shall I write about ? If you were with me, T would love to
talk to you about this beautiful world of ours, about flowers and trees
and birds and animals and stars and mountains and glaciers and all the
other wonderful things that surround us rn this world. We. have all this
beauty around us and yet. we who are grown ups often forget about it
and. lose ourselves in our offices and imagine that we are doing very
important work. {1x5 = 5 marks)

(b) Make notes on the above passage
V. Write a letter on one of the following ;(a) You want nuance for your company's expansion. Write to your bank for

the agent to make the arrangements specifying your requirements.
