Question 4
Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d).

WHAT IS RED?

Red is sunset Red is an Indian,

Blazing and bright. A Valentine heart.
Red is a feeling brave The trimmings on
With all your might. A circus cart.
Red is a sunburn Red is a lipstick
Spot o your nose. Red is a shout
Sometimes red Red is a signal
Is a red red rose. That says: ‘Watch out!’
Red squiggles out Red is a great big
When you cut your hand. Rubber ball.
Red is a brick Red is a giantest
And the sound of a band. Colour of all.
Red is hotness Red is a show-off,
You get inside No doubt about it -
When you’re embarrassed But can you imagine
And want to hide. Living without it?
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
Fire-flicker red-
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.

Question 5
Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d).

My Hero

My dad’s as brave as a dad can be, He’s not afraid of vampires,

I rate him Number One,
He’s not afraid off the dead of night,
Or anything under the sun
He’s not afraid of a late-night film,
Full of horrors on the telly,
And is he afraid of skeletons?
Not dad, not on your Nelly!
He’s not afraid of meeting ghosts,
He’d even smile and greet ‘em,
And things that scare most dads the
most
My dad could just defeat ‘em.
Or a wolf-man come to get him,
If Frankenstein’s monster knocked
on
your door,
He wouldn’t let that upset him.
My dad’s as brave as a dad can be,
And he’s always ready to prove it.
So why, when a spider’s in the bath,
Does Mum have to come and
remove it?
