SECTION A: COMPREHENSION AND VOCABULARY (40MARKS)
AVOID PEER PRESSURE
Teacher Murenzi was having a class discussion with his Primary Six class. They were
talking about unacceptable behavior in society.
“What are some of the things that people do that you do not like?” he asked.
“I do not like it when people smoke near where I am,” answered Immaculate.
“I hate young boys and girls who take drugs and drink beer,” said Tom.
“What do you think causes young people to do that?” Teacher Murenzi asked.
“I think it is because of peer pressure,” said Chantal.
“Very true, Chantal,” Teacher Murenzi answered. “Most young people are forced to do
bad things because they want to have friends. You shouldn’t smoke, take drugs or drink
because your friends are doing it.”
“Teacher, I have a question,” said Amos.
“Go ahead and ask, Amos.”
“People in our estate gamble and bet a lot. Is it okay?”
“Good question, Amos. Gambling and betting can be addictive. We should not take part
in any activity that can be addictive,” said Teacher Murenzi.
