WAEC English Language 2021 Theory — Question 5

Model answer

Model outline (narrative): Introduce a character who faced a major setback or delay early in life (e.g. a woman who left school early due to poverty/family hardship). Narrate the struggles and interruptions to their ambition (poverty, forced early responsibilities, giving up a dream career). Show a turning point later in life where they resolve to pursue their original goal despite their age or circumstances (e.g. returning to school and completing a degree at 70). End the story with the reflection/moral, concluding explicitly with the statement: 'Better late than never.'
