COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully: My Country

I live on the pear-shaped island of Barbados. Even though it is located in the Caribbean, it is not touched by the Caribbean Sea. Barbados is the easternmost island in the Caribbean, completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. My country Barbados can fit into some of the larger Caribbean islands, but I do not mind.

There are beautiful beaches all around my island and that is one reason why I love it so much. The reflection of the sky gives the beach water a lovely colour. Barbados enjoys mostly sunny weather all year, but sometimes it is rainy and the island may even go through hurricane conditions.

Barbados is divided into eleven parishes. Two of these parishes, St. Thomas and St. George, are inland while the others are on the coast. St. Peter, St. James, St. Michael and Christ Church have their own towns. The capital of Barbados is Bridgetown. I wonder how it got its name!

Answer the following questions based on the reading passage. Don’t forget to go back to the passage whenever necessary to find or confirm your answers.

1) What fruit does the shape of Barbados resemble? ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2) What colour does the water at the beach appear to be? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3) How many parishes are there in Barbados? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 4) Which two parishes in Barbados do not have beaches? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 5) What does the phrase “it can fit into some of the larger Caribbean islands” tell us about Barbados? _____________________________________________________________________________________ NATION WORKBOOK

LANGUAGE ARTS VERBS (cont’d) - The Tense of the verb Verb tenses are clues given to help figure out when the action in a sentence is happening. One verb tense is (A) The Simple Present Tense The simple present is a verb tense used mainly to show an action that takes place now, or an action that is done again and again.

Notice that the verb used with He, She and It has the letter ‘s’ or ‘es’ added.

When the subject is related to he, she or it, always add ‘s’ or ‘-es’ to the verb.

Remember! Not all verbs are action verbs. Some verbs are linking. For example: am, is, are, was, were. Linking verbs link or connect or join the subject to something that is said about the subject.

Take a look at this example:

The linking verb ‘have’ joins the subject ‘I’ to something said about subject (five brothers).

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully.

FIREFLY FACTS

Fireflies look like tiny, twinkling stars. But really they are tiny, flying creatures. Fireflies have two chemicals in them that give off light when they are mixed together. The light is either green or yellow and comes from under a firefly’s belly.

The light from some fireflies flickers on and off. Other fireflies give off light that glows all the time. Fireflies aren’t the only things that light up. Their eggs do too.

When fireflies become upset, their light glows brighter. This reminds their enemies that the chemicals that make them light up also taste and smell badly.

They are called fireflies so most people think fireflies are flies but they are really beetles. Fireflies are also called lightning bugs. Fireflies without wings are called glowworms. Most glowworms live in Europe. In Asia there are fireflies that live underwater.

All winged insects have two sets of wings except fireflies. They have only one set of wings. Fireflies fly only at night. In the daytime, they hide. Fireflies love to live in rotting wood, in forests and by streams and ponds.

Fireflies are one of the few insects which are not eaten by other creatures. That is good news if you are a firefly or if you just like to watch them.

Write TRUE or FALSE in the blank next to each sentence.

1.________ Fireflies live only in Europe.

2.________ Fireflies smell unpleasant when angry.

3.________ Fireflies are flies.

4.________ A firefly without wings is called a glow worm.

Fill in the blanks using the right word from the passage.

How is the firefly different from other insects which have wings ? _________________________________________________________________________________ VERBS (cont’d) – The Future Tense Verbs sometimes tell us about actions which have not yet taken place, they will happen at a later time. Such verbs are in the future tense.

For example:

I shall have pizza for lunch tomorrow.

The word shall is usually used with the first person singular and plural. Will is used with the second and third persons.

Look at the following table using the future tense of the verb ‘to go’.

Complete each sentence with the future tense of the verb in the brackets.

Multiples and Factors

The numbers that divide evenly in multiples are called factors.

Example 1: List all the factors of 6.

6÷1=6 6÷2=3

6 ÷3 = 2

6÷4=1R2

6÷5=1R1

6÷6=1

Observe that when 6 is divided by 4 and 5 there is a remainder. However, when it is divided by 1, 2, 3 and 6 there is no remainder. They are therefore factors of 6.

Factors of 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6 Example 2: List the multiples of 4 which are less than 16.

4x1=4

4x2=8

4 x 3 = 12 4 x 4 = 16

4 x 5 = 20

The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ……..

The multiples of 4 which are less than 16 are 4, 8 and 12.

Read the following passage carefully.

Nine year old American-born Tristan and his grandmother were about to land at The Grantley Adams International Airport.

“Home, Sweet Home!” sighed Grandma King.

“Home? …..but you live in New York!” stated Tristan.

“This will always be home to me. Barbados is where I was born.” She smiled and glanced lovingly out of the window at the island’s outline below. The deep blue sea looked so inviting to her.

After passing through the immigration formalities, they went to collect their luggage.

“This is our only airport and there is only one seaport called The Deep Water Harbour. It is in the parish of St. Michael,” Grandma told Tristan.

“Barbados has nine other parishes,” Grandma added.

As they waited for their bags Grandma talked about her beloved homeland.

“Did you know that Barbados has four towns?” The main one is Bridgetown, the capital of the island. Near here in this same parish is another town called Oistins. I will help you find the names of the other two towns and the parishes where they are found. “ After collecting the bags, they went out to meet their eager relatives. Tristan was soon captivated by a wooden key-ring which his Uncle carried. It was shaped like this.

“That is the shape of Barbados. These lines show the division of the parishes” Touching a section of the key-ring Uncle stated, “This is where we are.

It is the parish of Christ Church. We are going here.

(He touched the word St. George). Your Auntie’s home where you will be staying for the next month is at Gun Hill in that parish.”

“St. George has no beach!” lamented Tristan “Do not worry; most of the other parishes have beaches. There are eight others which you have not heard of,” stated Grandma.

“I know about St. George, St. Michael ……. and I know about lovely beaches and sunshine.”

Just then there was a sudden shower of rain. Everyone laughed and said in unison, “The rainy season!”
