TEXT A: MAGAZINE ARTICLE

Read the magazine article below and answer the questions that follow.

WHY SO SEL(IE) CRAZY?


by Lydia van der Merwe
1 When you think of a selfie, you definitely think of Kim
Kardashian, the queen of selfies. But she's not the only
one. You've probably taken a selfie too . Some
experts say it's just fun, others think it's a form of
narcissism.

2 June 21 was Selfie Day and the way things are going, it won't be the last one we'll
celebrate.

3 Because anything – what you eat, where you go on holiday or just chill – becomes
these days, taken with a long arm with your smartphone camera: with yourself,
of course, prominently as part of the photo. And then it is uploaded to
Facebook, Instagram or another social network to show the world: Look, I'm eating!
Look, I'm chilling! Look, I'm taking a selfie!

4 It's definitely the time of the #selfie, a toy of rich and poor. The fact even appears in pop songs. Think of
the song "Selfies" by Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt.

5 No wonder Time magazine named it one of the top ten at the end of 2012.
buzzwords of the year. The word was also included in the online version of the Oxford
English Dictionary in 2013 .

6 According to cellphone and camera manufacturer Samsung, up to 30% of the photos


taken by young people (between 18 and 34) are selfies. 91% of teenagers do
so regularly, according to a survey by the American Pew Research Center.

I… I… I!

7 Innocent fun, just another way to express yourself? No, says a second group.
The explosion of the selfie just shows once again that our lives are in a
extraordinarily narcissistic era.

8 “Narcissism is a sick form of self-love: I … I … I ... For example, I am on Instagram


and Facebook and Google+ and Twitter and Snapchat and Viber and and and ... If
you look at how many photos, especially younger people, post of themselves
on social networks, it says a lot.” By the end of October 2016, 34,700,000,000
photos had already been posted on the social network.

9 According to Dion Chang, social media has changed the way we see the world. It teaches us
to look at everything with a new eye so that we can post it on the internet. This is called the
Facebook-eye effect.

10 Your whole life gets a “beautiful” frame and you only show the perfect side. A study shows that
Facebook can make you depressed because of that. Selfies are just part of it. You put
the focus 100% on yourself, says Dion.

What does the future look like?

11 The end is far from here. It will only continue to grow. According to Dion, we live in a hyper-
visual life and we see it on social networks. He predicts huge growth in Instagram and
Snapchat.

12 Selfies are most popular among millennials (ages 18-34), the generation that grew up
with new digital technology, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in
the US. About 55% of them have posted a selfie on a social media site. This compares to just
24% of Generation X (ages 35–49), 9% of Baby Boomers (ages 50–68) and 4% of the Silent
Generation (ages 69–87).

Dangers

13 Selfies can also kill you, believe


it or not. Most selfie deaths are caused
when people fall from high
places while trying to take selfies . The
second leading cause of selfie deaths
is car accidents when people take selfies
while driving.

Many people also die in the bullfight in


Mahal, Spain. As they run away, they try
to take pictures of themselves with the bulls in the background!

14 But it's far from the death of selfies . Even if your


parents don't like it, you'll still take selfies and send
them to your friends via WhatsApp or post them
on Facebook.

SECTION B: SUMMARY

QUESTION 2

Read the text below and follow the instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Summarize the SEVEN ways to use less salt, in your own sentences. 2.
Write down the ways POINT-WISE.
3. Number the ways from 1 to 7. 4.
Your summary should not be longer than 70 words. 5.
Indicate the CORRECT number of words at the end of the summary.

SMART WAYS TO USE LESS SALT

1 A high salt intake can lead to high blood pressure, which can cause heart problems. About one in
three South Africans develop high blood pressure. So try to reduce your salt intake.

2 The love of salt is an acquired taste. If you usually use a heaped teaspoon of salt, use a flat
teaspoon instead. After a week, cut it down a bit, until you are down to half a teaspoon after a while.

3 Just like salt, oil has the ability to bring out flavors. We need healthy oils for the omega-3 fatty acids
they contain. Use a little olive, avocado, or canola oil on salads and vegetables instead of salt.

4 Choose herbs such as parsley and thyme, which add a delicious savory flavor to meats, vegetables,
and savory dishes. They are also rich in antioxidants.

5 Packets of chips, fast food like chicken nuggets and especially the packets of sauce that come with
them contain a lot of salt. Buy salt-free snacks for your family like fruit for school and work.

6 Most cooked vegetables are so delicious that they don't need salt. Bake your vegetables and see
how much better the natural flavors are without having to use salt.

7 Store-bought porridge has a lot of salt in it. If you make your own oatmeal, cornmeal porridge or
muesli, you can control the salt in it. Home-baked bread, scones, muffins and
Rusks also contain less salt than store-bought pastries.

8 Another effective way to preserve flavors and use less salt is to use waterless pots.

Charné Ruiters, a Grade 7 student at Belmor Primary School in Hanover Park, has been selected to
study at Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg in 2017.

She is one of only a handful of girls nationwide who have been successful.

She wrote a selection test in the first round. She flew up to Johannesburg for a weekend for further
tests and interviews.

Charné says that it was her first time flying. She felt a little nauseous at the end of the flight. She
enjoyed the food on the plane.

For the next 5 years, he will be commuting his vacations between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

She just wishes the school was closer to her home. She could visit her family more easily.

Charné said the previous day that she hopes to become a teacher one day, but she is still afraid of
