Sample Paper TERM - 2EXAM (2021-22)

Instructions: The question paper is divided into five sections:

For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have
narrowed it down to my four favourite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco, and Twinkle. Let's
start with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream. They have lots of different
flavours, but this doesn't really matter to me. That's because I always get coffee flavour. They make the
best coffee ice cream in the world. I've never had hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that Randolph
Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all natural ingredients to
make their ice cream. This is a good idea, I think. Second, we have Goodies. Goodies makes excellent ice
cream. Like Randolph Farms, Goodies uses all natural ingredients. They only make three different flavours
—strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate— but they make them very well. The strawberry is amazing. Every bite
of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind my old house. The vanilla is wonderful. It is
very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy taste. The chocolate is outstanding. It is made with real cocoa
beans from Bolivia. I didn't know where Bolivia is so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting awhile, I
discovered that it is in South America! That's a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I would say
that the only drawback to Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavours. Third, we have
Disco. Disco ice cream is okay. They don't have many good flavours. Actually, the only Disco flavour I like
is Bubble-gum. It is vanilla ice cream with little chunks of bubble-gum in it. After you eat the ice cream, you
can blow bubbles with the gum. That's pretty fun. Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice cream is mediocre.
The only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy a whole carton of twinkle
ice cream for $4.50. That's only two weeks' allowance for me.
