Text A (i)
Coetzer the first man to come out aggressive intent. Aims to throw and overhead right. Nevertheless, straight away Bruno flicking out that ramrod left jab. Coetzer slightly the taller man. Stands six foot four. Moreover, against Riddick Bowe the made a very quick start. They fight three months ago. And here he's throwing everything from the word go. In addition, he has Bruno backed up in the corner. Bruno backs on the ropes. Just clings and holds on. And Coetzer has come out here throwing leather. His coach Alan Taweel said that he is sometimes a slow starter. He's not shown that. There a little little left from Bruno over the top. Thudded into the head of Coetzer. And that was his first scoring punch from Bruno. But Coetzer once again in the attack, with Bruno holding on behind the referee's back. But Roy Francis spotted that one. Trying to land clubbing rights into the head of Cotzer. But once again he's on to the offensive.

Text E

I cannot understand the time. It is eternity now. I am in the midst of it. It is about me in the sunshine; I am in it, as the butterfly floats in the light-laden air. Nothing has to come; it is now. Now is eternity; now is the immortal life. Here this moment, by by this tumulus, on earth, now; I exist in it. The years, the centuries, the cycles are absolutely nothing; it is only a moment since this tumulus was raised; in a thousand years more, it will still be only a moment. To the soul there is no past and no future; all is and will be ever, is now. For artificial purposes, time is mutually agreed on, but really, there is no such thing. The shadow goes on upon the dial; the index moves round upon the clock, the clock and what is the difference? There may be the time for clock may make time for itself; there is none for me.


In a text A (i) some words or phrases related to meaning 'punch' are given below:
Throw and overhead right
Ramrod left jab
Clings

These words and phrases are mostly related to action or punching. These like time words are different from the time words included in a text E. the time words in a text A (i) are based on or related to action while the time words or phrases in text E are related to the state of the speaker.
Sometime words used in the text E are 'immortal', 'eternity', 'years,' and 'centuries', 'clock', which are indicating something unclear and not immediate now. But in the text A (i) the time words are mostly related to action taking now.

Text D (i)
Having thought out a name for his puppet, he started his work with great determination. He made his hair, his forehead, and his eyes in a very short time.
As soon as his eyes were finished imagine his bewilderment when he saw tem moving and looking at him When Geppetto saw those two wooden eyes looking at him, he did not like him at all, and he said angrily, Naughty wooden eyes, why are you starting at me?
But no answered. After the eyes he made the nose; but as soon as it was finished., it began to grow. It grew, and in a few minutes time it was as long as if there was no end to it.
Poor Geppetto worked fast to shorten it; but the more he cut it off, the longer that insolent nose became.
After the nose, he made the mouth; but before he has finished it, it began to laugh and poke fun at him. Stop laughing laughing I say he shouted menacingly. The mouth stopped laughing, and stuck out its tongue. However, Geppetto did not want to spoil the puppet, he pretended not to see it, and continued his work. After the mouth, he made the chin, then the neck, the shoulders, the stomach, the arms and the hands.   

Text D (ii)
Geppetto the wood carver lived in a little wooden house with his cat, Figaro, and a goldfish called Cleo. He made lots of marvellous toys, but he had no children to play with them. One day he made a puppet from some pinewood, and put strings on it so that it could dance. He called the puppet Pinocchio. When he went to bed that night, Geppetto looked out and saw the bright Evening star shinning in the sky. Look! He said to Figaro, it is a wishing star! So Geppetto made a special wish, I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish to night!
His secret wish was that little Pinocchio might become a real boy!
At that moment, the room where Pinocchio lay began to fill with dazzling bright light. Out of the light steeped the Blue Fairy of the Evening star, who had heard Geppetto's secret wish. The fairy waved her wand over Pinocchio, saying
Little puppet, made of pine,
Wake! The gift of life is thine!
