Question 2```PASSAGE I
```PASSAGE I
They are approaching the school building, holding hands as they walk to school. Ayele and Esinam are friends who attend the same school and are in the same class. Today, Ayele is not talking, though Esinam expects her to say something about her new bag. “So is that how you are? You're not passing any comment about my schoolbag? Dad gave it to me when he returned from America yesterday.” Ayele's reply is a mere grunt, but Esinam is in no mood to be unhappy. Ignoring her friend's mood, she breaks into a song about her parents' many acts of love. „Mum and Dad buy me dresses, shoes and anything I wish for, if I ask. It’s great to be young!'
Ayele is strapping on her back an old school bag once used by her elder sister. The brown colour has faded because she washes it too many times. When she breaks her silence she speaks solemnly and without regret. “I've grown used to the old dresses, bags and shoes Mum buys. She says she can't do more. I trust and love her.” There is a tremble in her voice, as though she is about to cry. But her eyes gradually brighten up as she speaks on: „I'm in JSS 3, like you, and we are both doing well. It's great to look to the future with hope.' Esinam nods her agreement as the school bell rings and breaks their walk into a gallop.```
