 ORAL SKILLS    (20 Marks)

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.

BURY ME IN A FREE LAND

Make me a grave wherever you will,

In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill;

Make it among earth’s humblest graves,

But not in a land where men are slaves,

I could not rest if around my grave,

I heard the steps of a trembling slave;

His shadow above my silent tomb

Would make it a place of fearful gloom

I could not rest if heard the thread

Of a gang to the shambles led,

And the mothers shriek of wild despair

Rise like a curse on trembling air.
