III. PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE — Model answer
"First, I would organize a meeting with the student council to identify the girls who have dropped out and understand their specific situations. Then, I would launch a fundraising campaign at school — we could sell snacks, organize a talent show, or ask local businesses for donations. I would also contact NGOs that work on girls' education in Haiti, like Fanm Kapab in the text, to ask for support. Additionally, I would visit the families with other student council members to explain the long-term benefits of education. Finally, I would ask volunteer students to offer tutoring for girls who have fallen behind. Even without money from the school budget, we can still take action."
IV. DISCURSIVE COMPETENCE — Model answer (Topic 1)
I strongly agree that educating a girl means educating a nation. The story of Lovelie proves this. When Jean-Wilner saved one girl from early marriage, he did not just change her life. He transformed her entire family. Today, Lovelie is finishing school and wants to become a nurse. Her younger sister is also in school. Later, Lovelie will have a career, earn money, and support her parents. She will educate her own children. This is the multiplier effect of girls' education. In Haiti, many families still prioritize boys' education because they think girls will only become housewives. This is a mistake. Studies show that educated women have fewer children, earn higher salaries, and reinvest 90% of their income in their families. Educating girls is not charity; it is the smartest investment a country can make."
