Family relation- ship Posse- ssions Large extended families (“everyone seemed to be a relative of Tombe’s.” Not many- a few tin plates and cups, a couple of pots

Cooking methods Agricul- ture Hot stones are placed in an oil drum, then vegetables are placed in the drum, covered with banana leaves and steamed. Tools are very basic e.g. a digging stick. (there is no machine- ry.)

Sleeping arrange- ments Beliefs A new sleeping platform for the guests, Kiak usually slept in her own hut. The villagers believe in evil spirits. They believe that leftover food attracts evil spirits so they dry it out in a can over the fire. Then the can is thrown out of the hut.

Find or guess the reasons for three facts according to the reading passage. FactsReason The boys jumped out of the windows in the science lesson. Jo wondered how relevant chemistry was to the boys. Tombe’s mother cried “ieee ieee” when she saw Jo. There were no windows in Mukap’s hut. The tin can was standing upside down on the grill. Post-reading

Facts Reason The boys jumped out of the windows in the science lesson. Jo wondered how relevant chemistry was to the boys. Tombe’s mother cried “ieee ieee” when she saw Jo. Because they were frightened; they had never seen anything like it before. Because most of them would live all their lives as farmers. It was her way to welcome visitors to the village and she drew everyone’s attention to their arrival.

Facts Reason There were no windows in Mukap’s hut. The tin can was standing upside down on the grill. Because it was a man’s house? The tin can was used to dry out the leftover food, which might attract evil spirits, so the tin/can was thrown out of the hut.
