2 2 SECTION A: 40 marks Answer all the following questions. The Resource Material for use with Section A is an RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) leaflet. The article on the opposite page, Braving the Seas for Daring Rescue, is from a newspaper. Look at the RNLI leaflet They do all they can to save lives at sea. A1. (a) How many lives have been saved by RNLI lifeboat crews since 1824? [1] (b) List three classes of lifeboat mentioned in the leaflet. [3] (c) List three essential items of protective clothing or equipment worn by lifeboat crew members. [3] (d) List two things you will receive if you become a member of the RNLI. [2] (e) How much funding does the RNLI receive from the British Government? [1] A2. How does the RNLI leaflet try to persuade the reader to become a member of the RNLI? Look at: what it says; how it says it; the photographs chosen. [10] Now read the newspaper article, BRAVING THE SEAS FOR DARING RESCUE. A3. One of the men on the lifeboat, Roger Good, said the rescue was really hard. What made the rescue so hard? [10] To answer this next question you must look at both texts. A4. Both texts are about the work of lifeboat crews. Using information from both texts, write a paragraph about each of the following: what you learn about the lifeboat crews; what you learn about the lifeboats. [10] (150-02)

3 3 BRAVING THE SEAS FOR DARING RESCUE A once-in-a-career rescue saw Brixham lifeboat men haul eight sailors from a cargo ship that was dangerously listing in a heaving sea in the middle of the English Channel. Lifeboat coxswain Mark Criddle explained that it took the lifeboat about one and three quarter hours to make the 33 miles to the Ice Prince against a heavy swell. The captain had already taken the decision to abandon the stricken ship, and the lifeboat attempted to take off the eight sailors on board. There was a gale force wind blowing and the waves were huge. The first three sailors were taken off very quickly, but Criddle said it took more than an hour to get the remaining five off, as they were frightened to leave the ship and jump across to the safety of the lifeboat. The lifeboat had to make many approaches, with the crew working hard to encourage the distressed sailors to leave, and in some cases physically dragging them on board the lifeboat. The Ice Prince was 132 metres long, weighing 70,000 tonnes and made of steel, while the lifeboat was just 17 metres long and made of fibreglass. The challenge for the men on the lifeboat was taking a 17 metre lifeboat alongside such a large ship with a huge amount of cargo. One minute the lifeboat would be right alongside the Ice Prince with the crew calling for the sailors to jump, the next minute the lifeboat found itself five metres below them in the heavy swell. Some of the Ice Prince sailors really did not want to leave the ship for the tiny 41 tonne lifeboat that was pitching and rolling in the sea. One of the men on board the Ice Prince fell heavily into the sea, but the lifeboat crew managed to pull him on board. It was a difficult night s work because of the sea conditions and because there were no other lights apart from emergency lighting, as the Ice Prince had lost all power. Second coxswain Roger Good, 46, was one of the lifeboat crew trying to persuade the sailors to jump overboard before pulling them to safety. He said: I lost count of how many times we took the lifeboat into position to get them off. It s a very unnatural thing for them to have to do, to jump overboard in those conditions. It s a case of getting the lifeboat in as close as possible and getting them on the side of their boat, and then you grab hold of them and keep pulling, and pull them on the deck. Any aching or cold hands don t matter; your adrenaline is running and you just grab hold of them, drag them to the boat and get the next one. It s only now you sit back and think, Yes, that was really hard. (150-02) Turn over for Section B.

4 4 SECTION B: 40 marks Answer Question B1 and Question B2. In this section you will be assessed for your writing skills, including the presentation of your work. Take special care with handwriting, spelling, punctuation and layout. Think about the purpose and audience for your writing. A guide to the amount you should write is given with each question. B1. Your school or college has agreed to raise money for a charity. You decide that you will give a talk to your fellow students to persuade them to agree to raise money for the charity of your choice. Write what you will say to them, explaining why your choice of charity is a good one, and giving suggestions about the fund-raising events that could be held. [20] The quality of your writing is more important than its length. You should write about one to two pages in your answer book. B2. Your school/college is keen to save energy. Write an article for the school/college magazine on this issue. You could include: examples of how energy is wasted at the moment; your ideas about how the situation could be improved. [20] The quality of your writing is more important than its length. You should write about one to two pages in your answer book. (150-02)

6 Will you help us to continue saving lives at sea? Since the RNLI was founded, volunteer lifeboat crews have been putting their lives at risk in order to save the lives of other people around the coasts of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. It is only thanks to the generosity of people like you that we can keep the lifeboats running. Every year, over 6,900 people are rescued thanks to that generosity. Will you come on board as a member today? When you come on board as a member you will benefit too. The Lifeboat your quarterly magazine As an RNLI member, every three months you will receive the latest issue of this exclusive magazine, keeping you in touch with the rescuers and the rescued. Individual Shoreline membership costs 18; Joint Shoreline membership for partners costs 30. You can also fly the flag for our volunteer lifeboat crews wherever you go, with this attractive window sticker exclusively for members. We need your support today will you come on board as a member? Dear Sir/Madam, Please don t worry, I m not asking you to risk your life to rescue people at sea. What I am asking you to do is come on board as a member of the RNLI today. Without our crew of members on land, none of our volunteer crews lifesaving work would be possible. The RNLI receives no funding from the British Government, so lifeboat crews depend entirely on the generosity of people like you. Your donation helps to keep our fleet of more than 300 lifeboats afloat, ranging from 5 metre inshore craft to our all-weather 17 metre lifeboats. These are fitted with the latest navigation and communication systems, essential in extreme conditions but equipment like this is only possible because of the support you give us. By the time you read this, we may well be out on another rescue. I trust you ll be on board with us as a member. Thank you. Yours, Andrew Putt Coxswain, Ilfracombe lifeboat See inside how you can help volunteer lifeboat crews. They do all they can to save lives at sea. Will you join them? Reproduced by courtesy of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Registered Charity Number

7 For those in peril on the sea. Why our volunteer lifeboat crews are counting on you. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days of the year, volunteer lifeboat crews are ready to risk their own lives to save lives at sea. Risking all to save lives at sea The men and women who make up the lifeboat crews around our shores are volunteers. They seek no reward and expect no thanks for their lifesaving work. All they ask for are lifeboats and the best equipment which depend entirely on voluntary contributions to carry out their vital task of saving lives at sea. They are prepared to give their all. Will you give them your support today as a member? Never thinking of themselves Volunteer lifeboatmen and women never count the cost to themselves. They are prepared to risk all to save lives at sea day or night, every single day of the year. Their dedication and devotion to duty have resulted in more than 135,000 lives saved since Can they count on your membership to help them save more lives? Always ready for action Will you help give our crews the lifeboats and equipment they deserve? Year on year, the number of people who call on RNLI lifeboats for help continues to rise. That is why the RNLI is introducing the new, fast, all-weather 25 knot Tamar, Trent and Severn class lifeboats to stations around our shores. Please help faster lifeboats come to the rescue. Protective clothing saved Robbie Maiden s life. Now you can help him to save other people s lives. Volunteer lifeboatman Robbie Maiden was swept overboard when the Hartlepool lifeboat capsized in terrible weather one freezing winter night. Protective clothing saved Robbie s life. It enabled him to survive for 30 icy minutes in the chilling waters of the North Sea the time it took for him to be plucked from the roaring waves. Thanks to his protective clothing, Robbie is still saving other people s lives. Will you help him and all of our volunteer lifeboat crews save even more lives by joining the RNLI as a member today? 36 could pay for a pair of non-slip boots essential when huge waves are crashing over the deck of a lifeboat. 76 is the price of a battery to keep a lifeboat s engine running in all weathers. 102 could provide a deck floodlight, essential in night rescues. 240 could buy an all-weather protective jacket for a crew member. 385 is how much it would cost to buy a lifejacket for an all-weather crew member. 180 would buy a safety helmet for a member of the crew.
