2. ANALYSIS OF A DUAL PASSAGE
1.“Did you hear that Pakistan is handing over Gwadar Port to 2.
the Chinese? I think it‟s is a great idea. In fact, I think 3.we
should hand over the entire country to them and let 4.the
Chinese rule us. Our so-called „leaders‟ have damaged
5.Pakistan to the core; there‟s no security, no electricity 6.and
no one respects us in the international community. If 7.only we
had real leaders, who would work sincerely for 8.the country
instead of working for themselves.”

3. ANALYSIS OF A DUAL PASSAGE
1. The real problem isn‟t with our leaders, it‟s with us. Have you ever
2. seen how we behave at a traffic signal? Most cars break the signal
when there‟s no traffic policeman around and then we complain about
there being no rule of law in the country. How can we blame the
powerful for not respecting the law when we don‟t respect the law
ourselves? We‟re hypocritical to the core. We like to blame our
leaders for everything but in reality they have the same flaws as us —
except their failures are public, whereas we can hide personal
shortcomings within the mediocrity of our lives. A nation‟s leaders are
no better or worse than its people. We have no one to blame but
ourselves for Pakistan‟s problems.”
