A) Comprehension
.Read the passage carefully then do the activities.

Nelson Mandela was a civil rights leader in South Africa. He fought against Apartheid,
a racist system where black people were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights.
Mandela was born on 18th July 1918 in South Africa. He attended school and later college of
Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand. In 1941, he was expelled from university
because he led a group of students on a political strike. (§1)

Mandela was sent to prison for life in 1962 for protesting against poverty, inequality and racism against
black people in South Africa during the apartheid which tried to enslave people, divided them by their race and
forced them to live separate lives. Black people could not do many things, such as going to certain places and
studying together or voting since they don’t have rights as south African citizens. Mandela was in prison for 27
years until 1990, when there was greater political freedom in South Africa and he was set free. He received the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for having led the transition from Apartheid to a multiracial democracy. (§2)
As president, Mandela received a lot of money, but he still lived a simple life and donated lots of money to
charity, especially his own charity, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, which he set up in 1995. On 5th
December Mandela passed away, but he will always be remembered as a man who encouraged people to live more
loving lives and who fought war and racism. (§3)
