1. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow (20mks)

WORRY has completely defeated me. My mind was so confused and troubled that I could see
no joy in living. My nerves were so strained that I could neither sleep at night nor relax by day.
My three young children were widely separated, living with relatives. My husband was in
another city trying to establish a law practice. I felt all the insecurities and uncertainties of the
post –war readjustment period.

I was threatening my husband’s career, my children natural endowment of a happy, normal


home life, and I was also threatening my own life. My husband could find no housing, and the
only solution was to build. Everything depended on my getting well. The more I realized this
and the harder I would try; the greater would my fear of failure. Then I developed a fear of
planning for any responsibility. I felt that I could no longer trust myself. I felt I was a complete
failure.

When all was darkest and there seemed to be no help, my mother did something for me that I
will never forget or ceases being grateful for. She shocked me into fighting back.

She upbraided me for giving in and for losing control of my nerves and my mind, she
challenged me to get up out of bed and fight for all I had. She said I was giving in to the
situation ,fearing it instead of facing it, running from life instead of living it.

So I did start fighting from that day on. That very weekend I told my parents they could go
home, because I was going to take over; and I did what seemed impossible at the time. I was
left alone to care for my two younger children. I slept well. I began to eat better, and my spirits
began to improve.

A week later when they returned to visit me again, they found me singing at my ironing. I had a
sense of well -being because I had begun to fight a battle and I was winning. I shall never forget
this lesson....... if a situation seems insurmountable, face it! Start fighting! Don’t give in.

From that time on I forced myself to work, and lost myself to work. Finally I gathered my
children together and joined my husband in our new home. I resolved that I would became
well enough to give my family a strong, happy mother. I became engrossed with plans for my

Page 102 of 205


Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
children, plans for my husband, and plans for everything except for me. I became too busy to
think of myself. And it was that the real miracle happened.

I grew stronger and stronger and could wake up with the joy of well - being , the joy of
planning for a new day ahead, the joy of living. And although day of depression did creep in
occasionally after that, especially when I was tired, I would tell myself not to think or try to
reason with myself on those days and gradually they became fewer and fewer and finally
disappeared.

Now, a year later, I have a very happy, successful husband, a beautiful home that I can work in
sixteen hours a day, and three healthy, happy children and for myself , peace of mind.

2. Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow

Yes, that is how Oloisudori defined success, Ole Kaelo thought bitterly. And he and many others
define it in the same way.

Page 104 of 205


Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
The archaic adage that exhorted the young and up-coming businessmen to take care of cents and
let the shillings take care of themselves was regarded by the likes of Oloisudori to be untenable.
Instant riches, just as instant tea or instant coffee were the thing. And the instantaneous bliss
brought in an on-the-spot feeling of well-being, felicity and happiness. That was what everyone
wanted, Ole Kaelo reasoned, and that was what he himself had always wanted. And that was the
reason, like a stinking rotten carcass would draw a torrent of flies to itself, people like him and
many others got drawn to the murky business of Oloisudori.
"But now the chickens had come home to roost," Ole Kaelo lamented ruefully. Oloisudori was
now demanding his pound of flesh. He recalled the events of that afternoon when Oloisudori
came calling. Seeing him in his house unexpectedly, had signaled trouble with his contracts. But
Oloisudori had allayed his fears, saying that all was well in that direction. That had restored his
peace and calmed his frayed nerves. The success of the shop depended entirely on those
contracts. Even the large stocks he held in the go downs were secured on the strength of those
contracts. It was therefore gratifying to hear him confirm all was well. What did he want then?
He had wondered. But he did not have long to wonder for long, for Oloisudori did not believe in
niceties. He had lifted his head, letting a small silence draw out between them, he told him,
"There is a small matter that I would like us to discuss."

a) What is the small matter Oloisudori wishes to discuss? (2 marks:

3. Read the following oral poem and then answer the questions which follow

O elephant possessor of a saving- basket full of money


O elephant, huge as a hill, even in a crouching posture,
O elephant, enfolded by honour:demon, flapping fans of war.
Demon who snaps tree branches into many pieces and moves on the forest farm,
O elephant, whom ignores ‘ I have fled to my father for refuge’.
Let alone ‘to my mother’Mountains Animal, Huge
Best who tears a man like a garment and hangs him up on a tree,
The sight of whom causes people to stampede towards a hill of safety,
My chant is a salute to the elephant ,Ajanaku who walks with a heavy tread,
Demon who swallows palm-fruit bunches, whole, even with the spiky pistil –cells,
O elephant, praise named, Laaye, massive animal blackish –grey in complexion,
O elephant, who single-handed cause a tremor in a dense tropical forest,
O elephant, who stands sturdy and alert, who walks slowly as if reluctantly,
O elephant, whom one sees and points towards with all one’s fingers.
The hunters boast at home is not repeated when he really meets the elephant.
The hunters boast at home is not repeated before the elephant,
Ajanaku looks back with difficulty like a person suffering from a sprained neck.
The elephant has a porter’s – knot without having any load on his head.
The elephant’s head is his burden which he balances,

O elephant, praise named, Laaye, O death, please stop following me.


This part and parcel of the elephant’s appellation.
If you wish to know the elephant, the elephant who is a veritable ferry –man.
The elephant whom honuor matches, the elephant who continually swings his trunk.
His upper fly-switch.,It’s the elephant whose eyes are veritable water –jars,

Page 107 of 205


Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
O elephant, the vagrant par excellence.
Whose molar teeth are as wide as palm- oil pits in Ijesaland,
O elephant, lord of the forest, respectfully called Oriiribobo
O elephant whose teeth are like shafts,One tooth of his a porter’s load,
O elephant fondly called Otiko,Who has a beast- of burden’s proper nock,
O elephant, whom the hunter at other times aces face to face.
O elephant, whom the hunters at other times seas from the rear.
Beast who caries mortars and yet walks with a swaggering gaint.
Primeval leper, animal treading ponderously.

UFAHAMU: (ALAMA 15)
Soma habari ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali
Tukilinganisha maisha ya zamani na ya siku hizi tutaona kwamba mambo mengi sana
yamebadilika. Si watu wazima, si watoto; sote tumeathirika si haba. Mitindo mipya ya kimaisha
na mazingira yanayobadilika kasi ni baadhi tu ya mageuzi haya. Sio katika mavazi, lugha,
mienendo, mitazamo, mawazo na mielekeo tu bali katika vipengele vingine vingi.
Mavazi ya zama hizo yalikuwa yakitengenezwa kutokana na maganda ya mti au ngozi za
wanyama kama vile mbuzi, kondoo, punda, ngamia, ng’ombe na hata pengine wanyama wa
mwituni. Kwa vile kila mtu alifuga wanyama wengi, hakukuwa na shida ya kuzipata ngozi kama
hizo wakati wowote ule haja zitokeapo. Magome ya miti yalipatikana mwituni- na kwa kuwa
katika enzi hizo hakukuwa na hifadhi za wanyama wa mwitu wala misitu yenyewe, watu
waliweza kuingia katika pori lolote na kubambua maganda au kuua wanyama kama
walivyohitaji.. mavazi yalikuwa rahisi kupatikana kuliko zama zetu; licha kwa upande wa
ndarama hata kwa upande wa sheria pia. Zaidi,katika enzi hizo watu hawakujali kwenda uchi au
walipachika kipande tu cha vazi mwilini. Siku hizi gharama ya maisha imepanda mno.
Siku hizi hatuwezi kuwaua wanyama wa mwituni vururu mtende eti kwa chakula, kama
walivyofanya babu zetu. Enzi hizo matunda yalining’inia mitini na njaa zilikuwa si nyingi.
Chakula kilikuwa bwerere zaidi ya leo. Vinywaji vilikuwa kwa mpango – wazee wa ngambi
walikuwa na vinywaji vyao; wazee wa kawaida, wanawake na watoto hirimu hawakusahauliwa.
Watu waliheshimiana; vijana walikuwa wenye adabu na walifahamu fika kuwa walipaswa
kuwaheshimu wakubwa wao kwa vyoyote vile. Siku hizi vyakula ni haba na ghali na vingi
vyazua magonjwa tata.
Siku hizi kuna weledi wengi, hasa wa sayansi. Mja akitaka kwenda safarini huchukua
kidubwasha fulani na huyoo! Kaenda zake; barabarani, angani au hata katikati ya kilindi cha
bahari. Leo twajivunia ujuzi na maendeleo ya kiafya na madawa yapunguzayo mno unyofu wa
binadamu lakini bado kuna pengo kubwa kati ya vikongwe na watu wa makamo, kinyume na
zama hizo. Maisha ya karne hii yamekuwa kama zile nguo ziitwazo bwaga – mtwae”, ambazo
hazibali kufumka au kukwajuka..

Hivi leo, mtu akiumwa na kichwa hukimbilia daktari. Mwingine akiumwa na nyoka popote pale,
hukimbilia hospitalini akapate sindano ambayo hata jina lake halijui. Zamani mtu alikuwa
achimbechime mizizi ya upuzi upuzi, aitafune na alipata nafuu! Wa kisasa twapuuza wa kale eti
hawakujua elimu ya usafi tuijuavyo sisi, ilhali walikuwa wakichoma miili ya watu waliokuwa
wamekufa kwa ukoma au kifua kikuu. Wakati mwingine walikihama kijiji kilichoingiliwa na
maafa ya ndui. Hata sasa wagonjwa kama hao hutengwa hospitalini maradhi kama vile UKIMWI
bado yakikosa tiba.
Mengi tuliyo nayo sasa mathalan tarakilishi na eropleni yalivumbuliwa au kugunduliwa na hao
wa zamani. Fanaka zetu zote na ustawi tulionao asili yake ni watu hao wa zamani. Akili ni mali
na kila mtu ana zake. Kuongezeka kwa watu duniani, mchanganyiko au matumizi mabaya ya
madawa mengi pamoja na uchafuzi wa hali ya anga pia yameongezea kuleta hasara kubwa.
Kweli sikio haliwezi kushinda kichwa.

Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.
Katika safu yangu hii sina lengo la kuzishambulia dini zetu na namuomba Mungu sana
asiniandikie dhambi kutokana na ninayotaka kuyaandika, lakini nashawishika kuikumbusha
jamii yangu ambayo inatufanya watu tuzione dini zetu zinamkandamiza mwanamke. Dini zetu
kubwa kama Uislamu na Ukristo zinatuelekeza mwanamke kumheshimu mumewe na kumskiliza
anachosema, lakini kwa yeye kufuata maadili ya dini na sikukwambia uue ukakubali.
Wakati dini inasema utekeleze amri ya mumeo na wao wameelezwa mambo ya kuwafanyia
wanawake, ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwaheshimu na kuwaridhisha kadri na uwezo wao.

Kutokana na hilo la amri, wanaume wengi ndio wamechukua kama tiketi ya kuwanyanyaza
wanawake na hata kumnyima fursa ya kujiendeleza kielimu na hata kufanya shughuli za
kuongeza kipato. Unakuta familia ni ya kimaskini, baba hana fedha za kutosha kuihudumia
familia yake, lakini baba huyo anataka kujishughulisha na shughuli yoyote ya kumuingizia
kipato kinachoweza kuwasaidia wote na matokeo yake kuendelea kuwepo, kwenye dimbwi la
umaskini. Wengine kwa hofu ya kupata changamoto kutoka kwa wake zao wanawakatalia
wanawake walio wao kujiendeleza kielimu au kutafuta mwanamke asiyeelimika ili asiweeze
kuhoji mambo kadhaa ndani ya nyumba.
Hili limebainishwa hivi karibuni na shirika moja lisilo la kiserikali huko Kigoma ambapo katika
utafiti wao asilimia 90% ya wanawake wa vijijini wanashindwa kutoa hoja kutokana na uelewa
wao duni na kutoa sababu ya kuwa hiyo ni kutokana na ukosefu wa elimu, masuala ya kidini
yanayomwelekeza mwanamke kufuata amri za mumewe, mila na desturi kadhaa.
Dini zote zinaeleza wazi umuhimu wa mtu kupata elimu bila kubagua kama ya kiisalmu
inavyosema; mtu anapata thawabu anapotafuta elimu na anatakiwa aitafute popote bila kujali
umbali na hata ikiwezekana kufika China ambapo inaaminika ni mbali. Sijawahi kuona wala
kusikia dini ikisema mwanamke asipate elimu lakini baba zangu na kaka zangu wanaume
wanalipotosha hili kutaka kuendelea kumkandamiza mwanamke bila kufikiria kuwa mwanamke
ni msaada mkubwa kwao na maendeleo ya taifa lolote; ikiwa leo tuko katika harakati za kupata
maendeleo na nchi hii hivi kweli tutafanikiwa?
Mapambano ya kuleta maendeleo yaanze katika ngazi ya familia kwa kuondoka kwa ujinga wa
kumkandamiza mwanamke ili naye aelimike, aweze kujenga hoja, aweze kujitafutia kipato na
mwisho kusaidia katika maendeleo ya familia ambayo kwa njia nyingine ndiyo maendeleo
yenyewe ya taifa hili.
