Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
As we stand, the HIV/Aids pandemic is on the rampage; ravaging the young and the old alike.
It is time for people to decide for themselves what is good and what is not. And the earlier they do
this the better.
The youth, for instance, can rise up with the message of hope and assure everybody that it is
possible for a remnant to remain by just abstaining from premarital sex. And how will they
abstain if everywhere they look images of sex stare at them, beckoning alluringly?
The thing to remember is that it is their responsibility to censor the stuff that gets into their minds
because this will definitely affect the kind of decisions and lifestyle they adopt. Before reading a
pornographic book or magazine, they should pause and ask themselves, “Do I hope to become
better after reading this? “The same consideration should be made before watching certain
movies and listening to offensive music. Guarding one’s mind against trash requires laying down
very clear principles. Discipline is imperative,
For young people, it is important to choose friends wisely. They should determine what they will
be doing when they come together. If a friend is not building them up, or is causing them undue
pressure, they should shun him or her. This pressure often takes the form of making those who
choose to abstain from pre-marital or illicit sex inadequate.
Avoiding idleness is equally important. The wise say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. The
solution is to get busy with constructive activities be they academic, economic, physical or
spiritual. Trying out new hobbies such as gardening playing football, swimming, basket weaving,
baking and volunteer work is a step in the right direction.
Parents must also take full responsibility of bringing up their children. They are the first
counsellors of their children especially in the formative stages. Unless they do something in good
time, they will cry alone when the disaster of teenage pregnancies, abortion and HIV/Aids
happens right under their own roofs. The onus is upon them to freely discuss issues of sexuality
with their children.
Teachers too have a very crucial role to play in the lives of their students. The youth spend a
bigger percentage of their waking moments with their teachers. The teachers not only equip them
with academic knowledge but also with the right attitudes and behavior. And it is a good thing
that sex education has been introduced in the school curriculum. Studies by AMREF have shown
that, contrary to popular belief, sex education does not promote promiscuity. Rather it enlightens
its recipient’s health issues.
Moreover, places of worship must pitch in with their contributions. They are in an excellent
position of imparting the correct moral values to their adherents. Besides, they can provide social
and religious activities that will build the youth up spiritually and mentally.
Finally, it is incumbent upon the government to put in place legislation governing what the
citizens, especially the youth, are exposed to in the form of print or electronic media.
In conclusion, the future generation is keenly watching us to see if we will wreck or salvage the
boat of their survival. Every member of our society has a part to play in enhancing morality. It is
only by doing this that we can hope to check the onslaught of HIV/Aids.

a) Why is there need to make a decision soon?
b) Rewrite the following sentence in the past:
The youth, for instance, can rise up with the message of hope and assure everybody that it is
possible for a remnant to remain by just abstaining from premarital sex

    Read the following story and answer the questions that follow
    The Monkey and The Crocodile
    A long time ago, Monkey and Crocodile were very good friends. The Monkey’s house was close to a
    river and there were many fruit trees on the banks of this river.
    Usually monkey would sit on the branches of the fruit trees and chat with his friend Crocodile who
    would be basking on the banks of the river. Their friendship continued for a long time until they decided
    it was time to introduce their wives to this friendship. "We have been friends for a long time and you
    don’t even know my house, Crocodile began.
    "Neither do you know mine," Monkey replied. "It is easier for you to come to my-house that it is for me
    to visit you since I cannot swim and your house is beyond the water."
    “That is not a problem. I can always carry you on my back," responded crocodile. "Let us visit my house
    first. My wife is a very good cook,” Monkey argued. “No” replied Crocodile “My wife has had a baby
    and there is plenty to eat in the house.”
    “Let us not argue about this,” Monkey said. ”If we go to my house first, my wife will not be anxious
    when I tell her I am going across the waters to visit you." They agreed that they would visit Monkey's
    house first. Though at first Monkey's wife was afraid of crocodile, she later realized that Crocodile was
    very friendly. She did not have problems with her husband visiting him. In fact she wished she would
    join him.
    Monkey was very excited the following day when he got to the banks of the river and found Crocodile
    waiting for him. This was going to be Monkey's first trip across the waters and he could not hide his
    excitement. He jumped onto Crocodile's back and Crocodile swiftly swam towards the deep waters.
    When they were in the middle of the river, crocodile slowed down and began, laughing.
    "Why are you laughing?" Monkey asked in surprise "You fool. Did you think I would take you to my
    house? I have waited for that heart of yours for a long time. Today I have it.”
    Immediately Monkey knew he was in deep trouble. He started thinking of a way out of his predicament.
    "Poor you, my friend: Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?" Monkey calmly asked. "What do you
    mean?" asked Crocodile in surprise "It is not difficult for me to give you my heart. If you had asked
    when we were at my house. I would even have given you my wife's heart too," Monkey replied.
    Crocodile was confused.
    "Then why don't you give it to me now?" Crocodile asked.
    You see my friend; Monkeys have a tradition of leaving their hearts at home when they are going for a
    long journey. I therefore left mine on my favorite tree." Crocodile was even more confused.
    "We can go and visit your wife first, and then I will give you my heart when you take me back,"
    Monkey suggested.
    "No," cried crocodile "I will take you back first. When 1 have your heart, we can then visit my wife."
    Quickly, Crocodile headed back to the bank of the river. When they got there, monkey jumped from
    Crocodile's back onto his favorite tree. He asked crocodile to open is mouth wide to receive the heart.
    Monkey then picked the biggest of the mangoes on the tree and threw it into Crocodile's open mouth. It
    fell in with a thud, breaking four of Crocodile's teeth. Crocodile was so upset but there was nothing he
    could do as Monkey jumped from tree to tree insulting him.
    From that day Monkey and Crocodile have remained enemies. And that is the end of my story and may I
    not end like it.

    EXCERPT: BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH
    Mama Milanoi wondered where that culture had fled to. Was there no one to tame the likes of Oloisudori? Had the culture become moribund, useless and impotent? Another husky whisper told her the Maa culture had gone nowhere. It was still there and it was intact. It was like the waters of Nasila and all other rivers of Maa.
    Nasila river had been there as far back as Nasila people could remember. It had sustained the life of man and beast from time immemorial. But Nasila water was no longer the water she drew when she was a little girl. It was no longer the water she and her friends scooped up with their hands and drank happily to quench their thirst after a long hot day in the fields. No, the water was no longer the same. The water had been polluted. In those days the water was so clean and clear that the pebbles on the riverbed were visible. Even the mudfish and the crab-like creatures called enkileleo were so clearly visible in the water one would have thought they were in a clear glass container.
    That was no more. Upstream, people were washing vehicles, they were washing smelling hides and skins, they were emptying sacks of agricultural chemicals and other offending and poisonous pollutants into Nasila river. It would not be long, Mama Milanoi reasoned sorrowfully, before the life-giving water of Nasila began to sicken and kill.
    And so was Nasila culture. The founder had intended that the culture would regulate the lives of the people, and indeed it did. It charted out the way for everyone, from cradle to the grave. It defined relationships, it created laws that governed ownership of property and settled disputes. It did not discriminate, it did not favour anyone over the others, it gave everyone a chance to live a full life; it protected everyone within its confines and provided cleansing procedures for those who defiled it. It was simply a cherished way of life for all the Maa people, including those in Nasila. It was no more. It was now defiled and polluted by the likes of Oloisudori. Yes, the old Nasila culture had become mutable and it now contained defiant mutants that it could not regulate and which were above Nasila Laws.
    She thought of her own house. Yes, change was creeping in. Her daughters were different. They had gone through a school system that intermingled them with children from other cultures. They knew very little of Nasila culture. They were children of a new undefined culture. Theirs was a mutant of another kind. Her daughter Resian, Mama Milanoi thought sadly, as she turned once more on her bed, was a hard nut to crack. She was obstinate and defiant. She certainly epitomized the new undefined culture. She knew she had an independent mind and she was not easy to handle. If her father thought she was docile and that he would just call her and hand her over to Oloisudori, he was in for a rude shock. No amount of intimidation or threats could easily break her. She always said she knew her rights and would not allow anyone to trample on them.

    Questions
    a) What happens after this excerpt?

    b) How could the culture, Mama Milanoi is thinking about, come to her rescue in her current predicament basing your answer from elsewhere in the text?

    d) Explain the relationship between the current state of the Nasila river and the Nasilian culture

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

    In case you’ve ever wondered how much time your daughter spends taking selfies, a poll in 2015 found that the average woman between 16 and 25 years old spends over five hours a week. It sounds like a lot unless you’ve tried to take selfies yourself and know what an elaborate process it can be. Women take an average of seven shots to get one image, according to the poll; Kim Kardashian said it takes about 15 to 20. Then there are the filters, not to mention real-life alterations like changing lighting or touching up makeup. There are also apps you can use for more drastic procedures like changing your bone structure, slimming your waistline, erasing pimples, and more.
    Selfies can be silly and lighthearted, of course, notes Alexandra Hamlet, a psychologist at the Child Mind Institute. But she also recognizes the darker side, when photos become a measure of self-worth. “With make up, with retouch, with filters, with multiple, multiple attempts, it’s almost like you’re never going to stack up,” says Dr. Hamlet, “And that is where I think it gets dangerous.”
    We’re used to worrying about how girls will be affected by seeing too many air-brushed images of models in magazines or movies. But now young people themselves are the models and they’re wielding their own image-editing software. This leads to a lot of self-scrutiny as they try to perfect their own images, and comparisons to the pictures their peers are posting. Experts are understandably worried about what this means for kids’ self-esteem
    If you’ve been telling your daughter that she’s beautiful just the way she is, she’s getting a different message when she opens up Snapchat and sees filters and lenses that alter appearances. Pictures used to be final; now we have post-production.
    Dr. Hamlet acknowledges that some of the filters are fun and distort in amusing ways, but also points out there’s a so-called “pretty filter” on Instagram and Snapchat. Beautifying filters are used almost reflexively by many, which means that girls are getting used to seeing their peers effectively airbrushed every single day online. There are also image altering apps that teens can download for more substantial changes.
    Facetune is one popular one, but there are many, and they can be used to do everything from erase pimples to change the structure of your face or make you look taller. One app called RetouchMe gives your photo a “professional retouch” using a photo editing team for under a dollar. The possibilities can be overwhelming, particularly since girls know they are scrutinized on their appearance — as, of course, they are scrutinizing their peers.
    Self-esteem often takes a hit when you start comparing yourself too much to other people, which is something social media seems to be made for. One study found that frequently viewing selfies led to decreased self-esteem and decreased life satisfaction. Another study found that girls who spend more time looking at pictures on Facebook reported higher weight dissatisfaction and self-objectification.
    Parents who want to provide a healthy counterbalance to the pressures of social media can start by evaluating how they use social media themselves. Make sure you aren’t talking too much about the pictures you post or see, or ask your children to take too many pictures. The occasional photo is fine, of course, but make a point of prioritizing being in the moment, too. “If you’re taking your kid to a concert, don’t allow them to film the whole thing and see it only through the eyes of the camera,” says Dr. Hamlet. “That’s reinforcing this concept that just being here is not good enough.”

    2.Mention two drastic procedures that you can use to alter your image

    3.Explain how selfies become harmful to those who take them.

  • Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:- The communicative power of the English language(Solved)

    Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:-
    The communicative power of the English language
    Once it used to be said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire". This meant that the British
    Empire covered all the time zones, so that when the sun was setting on one part of the Empire, it
    was rising on another.
    The same thing can be said about the English language today. English is spoken as a first language
    in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
    It is also spoken in the Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana among
    others. In addition to this, English is used as a second language in over fifty countries spread across
    Africa and Asia. This means that when you have a good command of English you can enjoy the
    writings of people from all over the world, and you can communicate your ideas beyond the
    borders of this continent.
    We in East Africa embraced the English language accidentally through the colonial experience.
    English came in as a welcome addition to our already rich language situation of over forty local
    languages and Kiswahili. In fact the majority of Kenyans today are multilingual. They use at least
    three languages: a local language, Kiswahili and English. A good number of others speak a fourth
    language which may be either French, Spanish, German, Japanese or Arabic among others.
    The local or ethnic language bonds a person to the history, culture and religious traditions of his or
    her people. If you speak one of the ethnic languages, for example, you are able to enjoy the songs,
    dances, stories, proverbs and riddles in that language. It also helps you to communicate with the
    older folks who may not understand English or Kiswahili.
    Kiswahili is the national language in Kenya and is used by people from all the ethnic groups. When
    one speaks and understands Kiswahili, one can communicate with people from all over Kenya.
    Kiswahili is in fact a "regional language", because it is spoken in a number of countries in East and
    Central Africa. Lately, Kiswahili was indeed adopted as one of the working languages at African
    Union meetings. Kiswahili, therefore, opens opportunities beyond the borders of Kenya.
    After Kenya attained independence, English was retained as the official language because it was,
    and still is, a great advantage for many of our operations. Though the original speakers of English
    were the people living in the British Isles, English is now spoken as a first language in two other
    continents, North America and Australia. It is also the second language for millions of people
    living all over the world. Therefore, with English you can be
    at home anywhere in the world. English provides us with a powerful link to the global village.
    Recent developments in modern technology have enhanced our ability to speak, read, write and
    understand English well. Many of the computer programmes available, for example, are made to
    respond to instruction given in English.
    English is also important for participation at the international level. Many reports and records on
    recent developments, science and other special research are in English. There is much more written
    literature in English than there is in any other language. Therefore, a student who can read and
    write English well is at an advantage.
    In international news broadcasting, users of English are greatly advantaged. The prominent
    international news networks broadcast in English. English thus enjoys a prestigious position in the
    communication of events taking place in the world.
    For those who want to be part of what is happening in the world, English is a very important tool.
    What does this mean for those of us in Africa and Asia, where English is learned mainly in school?
    There is need to put a lot of effort in the teaching and learning of this language so that we can be
    part of the vast changes taking place in the world today.
