Hello. How are you? Good morning, Have you eaten yet?

Where am you going? These are greetingwhich people use when they

meet each other. These are common greetings used by people.

A greeting is a way of being friendy to someone. It is not necessary

to describe your true condition or feeling. In fact, people reply to thequestions with a fixed expression such as Im fine, thanks or Im very

well. It are a way of being polite where you address them when you meet

them unexpectedly. It is also a way of starting a convesation. People

usually nod their head or just smile when she do not intend to start a

conversation.

Usually, a question is used as a greeting: Where are you go? Hows

everything with you? But questions like thisare not real questions. They

do not require a full answer or even a true one.

A greeting is usually followed by small talk. Small talk mean the little

things we talk about at the start of a conversation. People often talk about

suiteble topics for small talks such as the weather as it is a safe topic

compared to religion or politics. Thus, this makes meeting people easier

and more comfortable.

Part 2: (7 marks)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

In camping, follow these golden rules. Camp on bare ground where possible. The

campsite should be away from trails and dead trees. Avoid slopes, high ridges and wet sites. Do

not choose campsites that are below flood level or are highly frequented by wildlife. Set up

camp as early as possible and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. This helps to preventinjuries from moving about in the dark at night. Make sure that you bring enough food to last the

trip. The food can be fresh, dried or canned. Avoid bringing any food with a strong smell.

You will need at least two litres of water per person per day. Use water from a natural

source such as a spring. Make sure all water is boiled to eliminate bacteria and contamination.

Build your fire away from the tent. Do not cook inside the tent, even if you are using a gas

canister. Never burn rubbish, especially plastic, as the fumes are toxic. Make sure the fire is

completely put out before you break camp.

Do remember your camp etiquette. The campsite is part of nature. In areas of sensitive

environments, vegetation takes a long time to recover, so no holes should be dug around there

at all.
