Your answer should not be less than 450 words. =========================================================== QUESTION 1 Write an article suitable for publication in a national daily on the effects of flood in some parts of your country and suggest ways of preventing its reoccurrence. THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF FLOOD AND WAYS FORWARD By Adebayo Ogunlesi Flooding has become an annual tragedy in many parts of Nigeria, leaving in its wake a trail of destruction, displacement, and death. From Lagos to Lokoja, from Port Harcourt to Sokoto, communities are ravaged by rampaging waters that destroy homes, farms, and livelihoods. This article examines the devastating effects of flooding and proffers practical solutions to prevent its recurrence. The effects of flooding are numerous and severe. First, flood leads to loss of lives. Every year, hundreds of Nigerians drown in floodwaters. Families are torn apart, and communities lose their loved ones in tragic circumstances. Second, flood destroys property. Homes are submerged, vehicles are washed away, and personal belongings are lost forever. Many people are rendered homeless and are forced to live in temporary camps. Third, flood destroys agricultural land and crops. Farmers lose their entire harvest, leading to food shortages and hunger. This affects not only farmers but also the entire nation, as food prices skyrocket. Fourth, flood spreads waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and malaria. The contamination of water sources by floodwaters leads to outbreaks of diseases that kill many people, especially children. Fifth, flood disrupts economic activities. Businesses close down, roads are cut off, and people cannot go to work. This leads to loss of income and further impoverishment of affected communities. To prevent the recurrence of flooding, several measures must be taken. First, the government should build and maintain proper drainage systems. Many cities lack adequate drainage, and this is why water accumulates during heavy rainfall. Second, there should be strict enforcement of environmental laws. People should be prevented from building on floodplains and waterways. Third, the government should embark on massive dredging of rivers and canals to allow for easy flow of water. Fourth, waste disposal should be properly managed. Blocked drains caused by refuse dumping are a major cause of flooding. Fifth, the government should invest in early warning systems and emergency response teams to mitigate the effects when flooding occurs. In conclusion, flooding is a preventable disaster. It requires collective effort from the government, communities, and individuals. If we all take responsibility, we can reduce the incidence of flooding and save lives and property. https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCpC6c5Ejy61HyxKZ0v *To all POLAC RC 13 aspirants 👆👆.* https://t.me/necovipanswer Neco vip 👆👆 *REACT, SHARE AND FORWARD TO EVERYONE ❤️🔥* FOR NECO ENGLISH STATE QUESTIONS, MESSAGE ME ON TELEGRAM👇👇: https://t.me/Officialkingjay1 JOIN OUR VIP CHANNEL 👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.me/allexamexporunz =========================================================== QUESTION 2 Narrate a story that illustrates the saying: Hard work pays. --- THE REWARD OF PERSEVERANCE Tunde was a poor farmer's son from a small village in Oyo State. His father could barely afford to send him to school, but Tunde was determined to succeed. Every day, he walked ten kilometres to the nearest secondary school. While other students spent their free time playing, Tunde spent his time reading and doing extra work. After his secondary education, Tunde gained admission to the university to study Engineering. However, his family could not afford the fees. Tunde refused to give up. He worked as a cleaner at a construction site during the day and attended lectures at night. He saved every kobo he earned. His colleagues at the construction site mocked him, calling him a "village boy" who would never amount to anything. Tunde ignored them and continued working hard. Throughout his university years, Tunde faced many challenges. Sometimes he had only one meal a day. There were times he could not afford textbooks and had to borrow from classmates. But he never complained. He woke up at 4 a.m. every day to read. He asked his lecturers for extra assignments and read beyond what was required. He was always the first in his class. At graduation, Tunde emerged as the best graduating student in his department with a First Class Honours degree. The university offered him a scholarship to pursue a Master's degree abroad. He accepted and went to the United Kingdom, where he continued his studies and eventually earned a PhD. Today, Tunde is a successful engineer and the CEO of his own construction company. He has built schools and hospitals in his village. He employs hundreds of people and provides scholarships for poor students. When asked the secret of his success, Tunde always says: "Hard work pays." His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult the circumstances, hard work, perseverance, and determination always lead to success. --- =========================================================== QUESTION 3 You are the chief speaker in a debate on the topic: The Social Media has done more Harm than Good to the Academic Performance of Secondary School Students in your Country. Write your argument for or against the motion. --- FOR THE MOTION Mr. Chairman, panel of judges, accurate timekeeper, fellow students, ladies and gentlemen. I stand before you today to propose the motion: "The Social Media has done more Harm than Good to the Academic Performance of Secondary School Students in your Country." First, social media is a major distraction for students. Instead of studying, students spend hours scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. They waste valuable time that should be used for reading, doing assignments, and preparing for examinations. A student who spends four hours on social media cannot perform well academically. Second, social media promotes laziness and shortcuts. Students now rely on social media to find quick answers to assignments and examination questions. They copy and paste from websites instead of reading and understanding the material. This kills creativity and independent thinking. Third, social media has led to a decline in reading culture. Students now prefer to watch short videos and read brief posts rather than reading textbooks and novels. This has negatively affected their vocabulary, comprehension skills, and ability to express themselves correctly. Fourth, social media exposes students to harmful content. They are exposed to cyberbullying, pornography, and negative influences that affect their mental health and focus on academics. Many students suffer from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem due to social media. Fifth, social media has reduced the quality of students' writing skills. Students now use abbreviations and slang that make their written work poor. They cannot write formal essays or letters correctly because they are used to the informal language of social media. In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, the evidence is clear. Social media has done more harm than good to secondary school students. I urge you all to vote in support of the motion. Thank you. --- =========================================================== QUESTION 4 Write a letter to the principal of your school complaining about the poor condition of your school library and suggesting ways of improving on it. --- 15, Oluwole Street, Ikeja, Lagos State. 14th July, 2026. The Principal, Government Secondary School, Ikeja, Lagos. Dear Sir, RE: COMPLAINT ABOUT THE POOR CONDITION OF THE SCHOOL LIBRARY I write on behalf of the students of Government Secondary School, Ikeja, to express our concern about the poor condition of the school library. As an institution of learning, we believe that the library is the heart of academic excellence, and its current state is a source of great worry to us. The school library is in a dilapidated condition. The roof is leaking, and during the rainy season, books and equipment are destroyed. The shelves are broken and cannot hold the few books we have. The library is poorly ventilated and uncomfortable, making it difficult for students to study. The lighting is inadequate, and students cannot read in the evenings. There are not enough books, textbooks, and reference materials to meet the needs of students in all subjects. The library lacks computers, internet access, and other modern facilities that would help students with research. The chairs and tables are worn out and uncomfortable. In view of the above, we humbly suggest the following measures: First, the school should repair the roof and ensure the library is waterproof. Second, the school should purchase new books, textbooks, and reference materials to update the library. Third, the school should provide computers and internet access to help students with research. Fourth, the school should install proper lighting and fans to make the library comfortable for studying. Fifth, the school should engage a qualified librarian to manage the library and help students. Sixth, the school should consider expanding the library to accommodate more students. We believe that if these suggestions are implemented, the school library will become a conducive environment for learning and research. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Poverty is a major factor as about 70 percent of Nigerians live on less than one dollar per day and cannot afford basic educational materials to enable them read and write. 2. Poor learning environment in schools, which are now located in noisy Central Business Districts instead of serene outskirts, creates distractions that hinder smooth reading and learning. 3. High level of illiteracy in Nigeria, with about 62 million illiterates according to UNESCO, contributes to the poor reading culture. 4. Pursuit of materialism, fame, and fortune among Nigerian youths has led to the relegation of reading as they attach undue importance to wealth and social status. 5. Paying lip service to education by the government and stakeholders, with years of neglect of educational institutions including adult literacy education, has adversely affected the reading culture. =========================================================== *END OF ANSWERS – QUESTIONS 1 TO 6* ============================================== *NOTE: ENGLISH IS BASED ON STATE 🧏🧏, CHAT ME ON WHATSAPP OR TELEGRAM TO GET URS FOR UR STATE* *REACT, SHARE, FORWARD TO EVERYONE ❤️🔥✅🙏* *NECO ENGLISH LANGUAGE (PAPER II – ESSAY)* *COMPLETE ANSWERS – SECTIONS A, B & C* *TYPE II* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCJXuCDeON8S6aCk43B =========================================================== SECTION A: CONTINUOUS WRITING (50 MARKS) Answer ONE question only. Your answer should not be less than 450 words. =========================================================== QUESTION 1 An epidemic has broken out in your community as a result of a poor source of water. Write a letter to your Local Government Chairman notifying him of this development and requesting his assistance in providing portable water for the community. --- 15, Ogunlana Drive, Surulere, Lagos State. 14th July, 2026. The Chairman, Surulere Local Government, Lagos. Dear Sir, RE: NOTIFICATION OF EPIDEMIC OUTBREAK AND REQUEST FOR PORTABLE WATER I write on behalf of the entire community of Ogunlana Drive and its environs to bring to your urgent attention the outbreak of a deadly epidemic in our community. The epidemic, which has claimed several lives already, is a direct consequence of the poor source of water available to us. For several months, our community has been suffering from a lack of clean and safe drinking water. The only source of water available to us is a contaminated stream that is shared with animals. The water is dirty, murky, and unsafe for human consumption. Despite our repeated complaints to the appropriate authorities, nothing has been done to address this problem. The situation has now escalated into a full-blown health crisis. The epidemic, which manifests as severe diarrhoea, vomiting, and dehydration, has affected many residents, especially children and the elderly. Several people have died, and many more are in critical condition. Our local clinic is overwhelmed and lacks the capacity to handle the number of patients. The community is living in fear, and we urgently need your intervention. In view of the above, we humbly request your assistance in the following ways: First, we request that you provide us with portable water through the sinking of a borehole or the provision of water tankers on a regular basis. Second, we request that you send a team of health workers to our community to attend to the sick and educate residents on hygiene practices. Third, we request that you assist in fumigating the community to prevent further spread of the disease. Fourth, we request that you direct the appropriate agency to test the water sources in our community and advise on safety measures. We understand that the Local Government has limited resources, but we believe that the health and safety of your citizens should be a priority. We are confident that you will respond to this emergency with the urgency it deserves. Thank you for your kind consideration and prompt action. Yours faithfully, Oluwaseun Adebayo Community Youth Leader https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCpC6c5Ejy61HyxKZ0v *To all POLAC RC 13 aspirants 👆👆.* https://t.me/necovipanswer Neco vip 👆👆 *REACT, SHARE AND FORWARD TO EVERYONE ❤️🔥* FOR NECO ENGLISH STATE QUESTIONS, MESSAGE ME ON TELEGRAM👇👇: https://t.me/Officialkingjay1 JOIN OUR VIP CHANNEL 👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.me/freewassceditto =========================================================== QUESTION 2 Write an article suitable for publication in a national daily on the rising cases of kidnapping in your country and suggest ways of curbing the evil act. KIDNAPPING: A NATIONAL PLAGUE AND THE WAY FORWARD By Adebayo Ogunlesi Kidnapping has become one of the most dreaded crimes in Nigeria today. Almost every day, news of abductions fills our newspapers and social media platforms. From the north to the south, from the east to the west, no region is spared. Innocent citizens are snatched from their homes, schools, workplaces, and even highways. The rising cases of kidnapping have created a climate of fear and insecurity that threatens the very fabric of our society. The effects of kidnapping are far-reaching. Families are torn apart. Parents live in constant fear for their children. Children grow up in a world where school is no longer safe. Businesses close down, investors flee, and the economy suffers. The psychological trauma suffered by victims and their families is immeasurable. Many victims never fully recover from the experience. The causes of kidnapping are numerous. Poverty and unemployment drive many young people into crime. The absence of effective law enforcement and a weak judicial system encourage criminals to act with impunity. Corruption among security agencies allows kidnappers to operate freely. The availability of illegal weapons makes it easy for criminals to carry out their activities. The porous nature of our borders allows criminals to escape with their victims. To curb this evil act, we must take decisive action. First, the government must strengthen the security agencies by providing them with modern equipment, adequate funding, and proper training. Second, the judicial system must be reformed to ensure that convicted kidnappers face severe penalties, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. Third, the government must tackle poverty and unemployment by creating jobs and empowering the youth. Fourth, there must be a comprehensive reform of the police and other security agencies to eliminate corruption and improve their effectiveness. Fifth, communities must be encouraged to form vigilante groups and work with security agencies to protect their neighbourhoods. Sixth, the government must invest in technology such as CCTV cameras and tracking devices to monitor and apprehend criminals. In conclusion, kidnapping is a national emergency that requires a collective response. The government, security agencies, communities, and individuals must all work together to end this menace. The time for action is now. We cannot afford to lose any more lives to the hands of these heartless criminals. --- =========================================================== QUESTION 3 Narrate a story that illustrates the saying: Hard work pays. --- THE REWARD OF PERSEVERANCE Ada was a young girl from a poor family in Enugu. Her father was a subsistence farmer, and her mother sold vegetables in the local market. Ada's family could barely afford to feed themselves, let alone pay for her education. However, Ada was determined to break the cycle of poverty and make something of her life. When Ada completed her primary education, there was no money to send her to secondary school. She refused to give up. She approached the principal of a nearby secondary school and pleaded with him to allow her to work as a cleaner in exchange for free tuition. The principal was impressed by her determination and agreed. Every day, Ada woke up at 4 a.m. to clean the school before classes began. She swept the classrooms, cleaned the toilets, and tidied the compound. When the bell rang, she would wash her hands, put on her uniform, and join the other students in class. Her classmates mocked her, calling her the "school cleaner." But Ada ignored their insults and focused on her studies. After school, Ada would go to the market to help her mother sell vegetables. Despite her busy schedule, she always found time to read. She read while walking to school, while waiting for customers, and even at night under the dim light of a kerosene lamp. Ada's hard work paid off. She became the best student in her class. She graduated from secondary school with flying colours and won a scholarship to study at the university. She pursued a degree in Medicine and graduated with First Class Honours. Today, Dr. Ada is a successful medical doctor who works in a teaching hospital. She has built a house for her parents and sponsors the education of many poor children in her community. She is respected and admired by all who know her. Ada's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how humble your beginnings, hard work, determination, and perseverance will always lead to success. As the saying goes, "Hard work pays." --- =========================================================== QUESTION 4 You are the chief speaker in a debate on the topic: Globalisation is a Threat to Cultural Preservation. Write your arguments for or against the motion. --- FOR THE MOTION Mr. Chairman, panel of judges, accurate timekeeper, fellow students, ladies and gentlemen. I stand before you today to propose the motion: "Globalisation is a Threat to Cultural Preservation." First, globalisation promotes the dominance of Western culture. Through movies, music, fashion, and food, Western culture is spreading rapidly across the world. Young people in Nigeria are now more familiar with American and European celebrities than with their own traditional heroes. They wear Western clothes, listen to Western music, and speak with foreign accents. This erodes our cultural identity and values. Second, globalisation encourages the use of foreign languages at the expense of indigenous languages. English has become the dominant language of communication in many African countries. Our local languages are dying because children are no longer taught them. When a language dies, a culture dies with it. Third, globalisation promotes materialism and consumerism, which are in conflict with traditional values. In many African cultures, community, family, and sharing are valued. However, globalisation promotes individual success and the accumulation of wealth. This leads to the breakdown of traditional social structures and values. Fourth, globalisation has led to the commodification of culture. Traditional customs and practices are now packaged and sold as products for tourists. This trivialises and commercialises our heritage. Genuine cultural practices are replaced with performances designed to entertain outsiders. Fifth, globalisation has caused the erosion of traditional knowledge and practices. Indigenous knowledge systems, such as traditional medicine, agriculture, and crafts, are being abandoned in favour of Western alternatives. This loss of knowledge is irreversible and impoverishes our culture. In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, the evidence is clear. Globalisation is a serious threat to cultural preservation. We must resist the homogenisation of culture and protect our unique heritage. I urge you all to vote in support of the motion. Thank you. --- =========================================================== SECTION B: COMPREHENSION (20 MARKS) Read the passage on dogs carefully and answer the questions on it. =========================================================== (a) State two ways that dogs can be of help to the physically challenged.
