You must have heard that you should love your neighbor. But before you can love others you must first love yourself. Do you?

Most of us actually do not take the time to get to know ourselves or take the time to nurture our souls. If you analyze your actions, you will agree that at one time you must have been self – conscious about / of the way you look or the way you dress or talk. These actions and thoughts actually are a clear indication / reflection

What is that? You are very insecure, you are not very confident and you are not taking good care of yourself by loving yourself. Additionally, when you do not love yourself you are so self – conscious that you forget what is happening around you and you become dissatisfied.

The focus of this article is self- love, featuring ways to fall in love with yourself and how to nature/express that love. So what is love? According to the dictionary, love is that strong passionate affection for another person. When you analyze that definition it state that you must have a strong liking for that person if you love them. Additionally, when you like that person you would do anything for them.

Of course it is a difficult process to love yourself all the times, since we all need constant reminders as well as constant feedback that we are good people. Therefore, the best reminder you can give yourself each and every day is to ensure that you accept yourself for who you are and also make sure that you are confident about who you are.

ORAL SKILLS (30 MARKS)
A) Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
Bury me in a free land
Make me a grave whatever 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,
The shadow above my silent tomb
Would make it a place of fearful gloom.
I could not rest if I heard the tread
Of a gang to the shambles led,
And the mother’s shriek of wild despair.
Rise like a curse on a trembling air

By France Watkins Harper (USA)
