1. Re-read Text C, The lost cave, (as found in the November 2023 (500/12) insert).

You are Shaima. A year after Rohaan discovered the cave in your garden, you have written a book about the experience and what has happened since then. You are interviewed for a television show to promote your book.

The interviewer asks the following three questions only:

• Can you outline what Rohaan was doing at first in the garden and how he discovered the cave?

• What made him realise that his discovery was significant?

• How did the discovery affect your plans for the garden and have your lives changed since then?

Write the words of the interview.

Base your interview on what you have read in Text C but be careful to use your own words.

Begin your interview with the first question.

Write about 250 to 350 words. 

Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer and up to 10 marks for the quality of your writing.
