 Introduction
We would like to welcome you to the Grade Three English experience. This is a
book you will enjoy reading an endless number of times. Apart from that, you
will enjoy going through several exciting English drills as you go through the
language sections.
To begin with, we are going to discover how easy it is to pass your Grade Three
English examinations. For you to pass the English language, you need to believe
in yourself. By this, we mean that you simply need to believe that it is possible
for you to hang onto the English expressions you meet in this book and then use
them correctly as if they were your own. This, therefore, means you should put
much concentration on the explanations and examples which are given. These
explanations make it easy for you to understand and use the English language.
Enjoy using this book and using the English language in daily communication.

Writing examinations
After we have studied English we must, at some point, write examinations. This
is done to test how much we have grasped what we have been studying. The
examinations comprise of two papers, Paper 1 and 2. English Paper 1 has a
total of forty multiple-choice questions. For each question, we are supposed to
choose one correct answer from the answers provided which are A, B, C and D, in
Paper 1.
Besides comprehension and language, you also learn how to write composition.
In composition, the examiner wants to find out how much you can express
yourself using those language concepts you have learned about. You will be
tested in composition in Paper 2. English Paper 2 is divided into two sections,
Section A and B. In Section A, you are going to choose one from the given
compositions. In Section B, you are going to answer comprehension questions
that carry 10 marks and a summary that carries 5 marks bringing to the section
a total of 15 marks.

Answering Paper 1: Comprehension questions

Here are a few words of advice for you to do well in the English language Paper
1 set by your teacher or the one which you will write at the end of Grade 7.
First of all, read the topic of the given passage. This will make you be able to
tell, at once, the subject matter you are going to read about. This will help you
to easily understand what you are reading about.
After that, read the passage for the second time. Then read the questions asked
after the passage. This will help you to identify the lines which have the answers
in the passage.
Read the passage for the third time and then answer the questions in writing.
On each question, read the question and then read through all the answers
from A to D. Choose only one answer you think is correct.
When answering questions, you are expected to be able to give meanings of
some words or phrases in the passage according to how they were used in
the passage. You will have to read carefully so that you get how the word or
expression is used.
The passage may come in many different forms. If the passage is a letter, you
are supposed to read through the letter carefully so that you see the format
and understand the contents of the letter.
If it is a newspaper or magazine article, you are advised to read the topic and
the source, where the article was taken from. Then read through the article
carefully.
It may also be in the form of a report which you must read through carefully.

How to answer language questions

Part of the examination will require you to answer language questions. First of
all, read the instructions before attempting any question. This will guide you on
