ORAL SKILLS(30 MKS)
Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow:

By day the bat is cousin to the mouse

He likes the attic of an aging house

His fingers make a hat about his head

His pulse beat is so slow we think him dead

He lops in crazy figures half the night

Among the trees that face the corner light

But when he brushes up against a screen

We are afraid of what our eyes have seen

For something is amiss or out of place

When mice with wings can hear a human face
