I want to write a poem, but I don’t know where to start.


Should it be an ode to love come straight from the heart?
Or should it wax lyrical of sky and moon and stars,
Or of planets of our universe Pluto, Jupiter, or Mars?

It could be of the flora or fauna of this, our wonderful land,


F4 ENG PP1 Page 4 of 7
Or of walking barefoot on a lonely beach kicking up the sand.
Of countries and of places where the surrounding seem so strange,
Frozen lands, dense jungles, valleys deep and of vast mountain’s range.

Rivers long, the life blood of lands they pass along their way,
Irrigating crops and refreshing thirsts continually night and day.
Or of the sheer beauty of Mother Nature we can experience all around,
From the gigantic right down to microscopic, many wondrous things abound.

Maybe of the sadness felt when the highest price is paid,


Be it that of unselfish sacrifice of life or whenever it is made.

1. COMPREHENSION (20 MARKS)


Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
The world has a weight problem. Within the past decade, obesity rates have shot up by 50
percent, rising from 200 million people in 1995 to 300 million in 2003. Even places more familiar with
famine than fat are starting to worry about their waistlines. Africa now has weight loss clinics. In a
recent survey in India - home to half the world’s undernourished population - 55 percent of women
between 20 and 69 were found to be overweight. Twenty percent of Chinese adults are overweight.
Brazil’s childhood-obesity rate has jumped to 239 percent in a generation - four times the growth rate
for youth in the United States. In March 2003, the International Obesity Task Force revealed that 1.7
billion of the planet’s 6 billion people were overweight or obese. “How did we all get so fat?” The
problem stems from the collision of a number of modern trends; rising affluence and urbanization; the
proliferation of conveniences like cars, computers, fast food and television; and the 21st Century work
culture, with its desk jobs and long hours. In rich countries, the familiar mantra of low-fat diet and
exercise is routinely ignored. In the developing world, where health education is frequently non-
existent, people are particularly vulnerable to the glamour of American burgers and the comfort of the
couch. Rural migrants to cities are suddenly confronted with market-stall snacks and McDonald’s. In
newly industrialized countries packaged foods and fast food chains are promoted as an index of
affluence.

The consumption of foods high in fat, sugar and salt- combined with increasingly sedentary
lifestyles - is worrying health experts. And it is killing us. Diet-linked diseases - chiefly heart disease,
cancer, diabetes and hypertension, now account for more than half of all deaths in Arab countries. In
Barbados, more than 60 percent of hospital and drug-service budgets go toward coping with obesity-
related illnesses. In Chinese hospitals, the number of patients suffering from weight-related diseases
has increased by 30 percent. The problem is so pervasive that the World Health Organization has
declared obesity a global epidemic.
In many places, obesity and related illnesses such as diabetes are growing fastest among
children and teenagers. These may be because those groups are more vulnerable to the excesses of
their new found liberation. Teenagers from rich homes have cars can go to restaurants with their
friends, and consume high-fat fast food. Nutritionists also blame food marketing and the proliferation
of supermarkets for the rise in childhood obesity. Ultimately, diabetes is incurable. Although changes
in diet and lifestyle can help stem the progression of the disease,it never disappears. Most patient are
on insulin a decade after diagnosis. The best long-term hope for reversing the trend is for society to get
its weight problems under control.

Q2. EXCERPT (25 MARKS)


Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow
Mossi: (Pacing about on the stage. Turns to face the principal and Nicole) I am afraid we may not
continue with this thing. Oh, I have already forgotten what you are calling it.
Pirro: (Looking rather disappointed) But why, Your Worship? This is a blessing for our country.
Mossi: Don’t you see it? It might turn out to be a platform for misinformation, lies and witchhunt. You
see, last year someone spread a rumour that I had died. He just sent a text message on some social

F4 ENGLISH PP2 Page 3 of 8


media and it spread like a wild bush fire. And do you know I almost actually died? During that time, I
accidentally swallowed a whole toothpick!
Ramdaye: Oh, yes. I see the risk. They might spread another rumour on this platform! And you might
swallow another toothpick! Yes, you will!
Basdeo: (To Mayor) The way I see it, that App will be a people’s platform! And it will have far-
reaching implications whether you launch it or not.
Mossi: (Casting a stern look at Mr Basdeo) I need time to think about it. I will launch it at my own
convenient time. (Turning to Nicole and the principal) There are no two ways for now. Halt any
activities regarding that thing until my office gives further guidance. (Ramdaye nods inn approval.)
Other guests exchange knowing glances in silence.
Narine: Your Worship, the President of the Republic is scheduled to officially launch the App at the
national level early next year when school reopen. We presently have some ongoing activities in
preparation for it. I doubt whether this process can be stopped.
Harvester: (Looking at the Principal and Nicole alternately) Is that so?
Mossi: (Looking at the principal) The President?
Narine: Yes, Sir.
Ramdaye: Why have you kept as in the dark about this?
Narine: The Mayor’s office has been duly informed, Sir.
Mossi: (Lookingg at Narine) Oh yes, I remember! But you never explained what kind of thing it was!
No, you still have to stop it!
Pirro: I think that is beyond their powers, Your Worship.
Mossi: (Looking at Pirro) This thing we are talking about is a school project under their control!
(Turning to face the Principal) It is, therefore, within your powers to find a way around it. (Pauses,
then turns to face Nicole) Think about it. You are at the centre of it! Figure out a way… like writing to
the Ministry of Education indicating that there are some fundamental errors in it that you need to
attend to… get what I mean?
Nicole: I am afraid, Your Worship, the assessment of the innovations was done by senior officers at
the Ministry of Education. Experienced software engineers were also involved. It passed all the tests,
and no errors were found.

Q3. ORAL NARRATIVE (20 MARKS)
Read the oral narrative below and then answer the questions that follow
Long, long time ago animals and birds spoke just like men do. When God had to stop them
speaking, he made birds sing, like this chrrip! Chrrip… Lions to roar like this graagh! Graagh! And
hyenas to howl like this huuu! Huuu! And do you blame God? Listen to what naughty hyena who had
gone two days without any meat did. He had been wondering up and down t
he hills when he suddenly stopped, nose in the air, one foot raised. Do I smell,
eh…………smell food? He slowly raised his head to the skies as if to say, “Please God, let me find
some food, even one rotting bone will do.”
Slowly, he followed the smell, sniffing hard, stopping now and again, over grinning wider as
the smell became stronger. “Here at last”, He said as he came in sight of a calf that seemed dead, flies
buzzing over its excrement. “God, no time to waste. Who knows the owner may be around. Oh, no! I
see it is secured to a tree with a “Mukwa” I’ll take my time. Ha, I am tired too, come to think of it. God
gave us pretty strong senses of smell, generous old…… man. Still I do think some people tend to
exaggerate, now who was it saying the other day ‘ati’ God is the giver of everything and that we
should be grateful. O.K. Tell me, did God give this calf? Did you God? I found it myself, smelled my
way there, all the way. Nice calf too, rather thin but it will do. I’ll take the head home and make soup
with herbs. I especially like ‘muthathii’, and I see one over there.
OK. Here we go, where shall I start, this lovely neck? No, I know, I will start with the ‘mukwa’
then I’ll get on to the soft stuff, the tail, the
rump, ‘Mahu’……….” After chewing up half of the ‘mukwa’ the hyena brushed his teeth with the
twig of a ‘muthiga’ a tree of stimulate his appetite. He stepped on the calf’s tail, stuffed it in his mouth
and ‘snap’ it went. The calf which was only very sick and tired shot up and bolted away in the
twinkling of an eye. The hyena rubbed his eyes, ambled after the disappearing calf and soon fell down
in exhaustion. He looked up again to the heaven, tried to speak but no words came. Hyenas have
never been able to speak ever since.

UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali yafuatayo.

Kutokana na malalamishi ya mara kwa mara kuhusu uamuzi viwanjani nchini, Mitambo ya teknolojia ya
Kusaidia Uamuzi (VAR) katika ligi zetu, hasa kwenye Ligi kuu ya Kenya (FKF-PL) inahitajika kwa dharura.
Ligi hii inapaswa kuwa miongoni mwa 10 bora Afrika ili kuvutia wachezaji wazri kutoka nje ya bara hili,
lakini uamuzi duni imedidimika, itasaidia kupunguza makosa ambayo yamekuwa yakitokea mara kwa mara.
Tumeshuhudia mabao yakiingia na kuhesabiwa baad aya waamuzi kuamuru yawe mabao. Lakini baada ya
kutazama picha za marudio, baadhi yao yanabatilishwa. Hapa, teknologia itasaidia kupunguza visa hivi ili washindi
wapate haki yao.
Tumeshuhudia waamuzi na wasaidizi wao wakishtuka mpira umeanza haraka na bao kufungwa katika hali
hiyo, lakini picha za marudio zinaonyesha yaliingia kinyume cha kanuni zilizowekwa.
Tutakubaliana kwamba, duniani kuna mabadiliko yametokea katika nyanya mbalimbali na FKF inapaswa
kuelewa kwamba mambo mengi yameanza kuendeshwa kwa usasa ambapo karibu kila kitu kinakumbatia
teknolojia. Teknolojia imegusa karibu kila fani ya maisha ya binadamu na hakuna anayeweza kuhepa. Hali hii
imeshika kiasi katika kila jambo ndiposa FIFA ikaamua kuleta VAR kusaidia katika uamuzi uwanjani, mbona
hatujaanza.
Vifaa vya teknolojia vimesaidia katika mambo katika sekta mbalimbali ikiwemo michezo kwa ajili ya
kupata mafanikio katika sekta hiyo. Sio tu kwa ajili ya kubaini udhaifu wa waamuzi wetu katika soka, bali kuvutia
wawekaji kufanikisha mchezo huu.
Tunahitaji wawekezaji waje wasaidie timu zetu, lakini lazima tuonyeshe timu Fulani haipendelewi kama
ilivyo sasa kwenye ligi zetu. Wawekezaji wanapovutiwa na uendeshaji wa mradi popote pale, mafanikio ya haraka
hupatikana na kubadilisha maisha ya wahusika.

UFUPISHO (ALAMA 15)


Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.

Ukitaka kufaulu maishani lazima ujue kuwa una kazi kubwa sana inayokungoja. Baada ya kukabili vilivyo
kazi hiyo kwa kutumia nyanya mbali mbali utayaimarisha maisha yako. Karibu kila mtu aaliyestawi amepitia
katika vikwazo vingi tena vya kutatiza kuliko vikwazo wanavyovipita vijana wa kisasa. Vijana wote wanatakiwa
saa wasugue bongo zao sawasawa watende mambo mengi mazuri kuliko wanayoyaona. Wasitosheke nay ale
yaliyotendwa na wazee wao. Kila kijana iwapo atakuwa na moyo kama huo nchi zote zitaendelea kwa kasi.
Kwa kujisaidia katika kujiendeleza, yafuatayo yanafaa kuzingatiwa vijana wanatakiwa wawe watotowenye
kuelewana na wazazi wao ambao watawaelekeza vyema kitabia na wakiwa ni wazazi waelewe, watawapa watoto
wao maelekezo na radhi ambavyo ni bora kuliko mali. Watoto wenyewe wajue wanataka nini, wawe na malengo
katika maisha yao na wakazanie kupata kile wanachokitaka bila kutaka tama, watie bidii katika kila wanalifanya,
wapande kusoma bila kulazimishwa kwani kusoma kwa kulazimishwa hampi mja amani. Kutaka kushurutishwa ili
asome ni sawa na ng’ombe apelekwaye mtoni kunywa maji naye akifika mtoni akatae kunywa maji. Mtoto
mwenyewe anatakiwa ajitafutie na anue kuwa hasara ni yake asipofanya bidii na ajiamshe kifikira, motto huyu
asiridhishwe na kupokea vitu vidogodogo, kamwer na asiwe mwenye tama wala kumtazama kupewa zawadi kama
peremende na hela kila. Lazima ajue kuwa kupewa au kutopewa ni mamoja. Aelewe hali yao, wazazi wakiwa na
kitu cha kumpa aone kwamba ni sawa! Wakiwa hawana pia aone kuwa ni sawa. Mtoto anatakiwa kuwa muelewe.
Anatakiwa awe na ile fikira ya kujitafutia. Hata kama anatoka katika aila yenye utajiri azoee kutafuta ili
ikiwezekana atajirike hata zaidi. Asitegemee cha ndugu kwani huenda akafa akiwa maskini. Kidogo chako
ulichokitolea jasho ni bora kuliko kikubwa cha mwenzio.
Vijana wanatakiwa kuwa na nidhamu ya kiwango cha juu popote walipo, wawe ni watu wa kijamii wasikate
tama eti kwa ajili masomo ni magumu bali wakazane kutafuta jinsi ya kuyarahisisha ili kuyaelewa, hatimaye,
watayamudu na wafanikiwe maishani. Yafaa vijana waelewe kuwa hakuna kizuri kinachopatikana kwa urahisi,
daima dawamu wakumbushwe umuhimu wa kuwaheshimu watu na wakati. Wasidharau walimu au wenzao,
wasipoteze wakati wao kusengenya, wapuuze wanaowanyanyasa, wasingatie hata neno moja la kuwaudhi
wanaloambiwa na watoto waovu. Vijana wawe tayari kukosolewa na kuomba msamaha wa makosa yao.
Wanapaswa wawe ni watu wanaowaelewa wenzao na kuchukuliana vyema nao, wawadhamini wengine kwa vile
walivyo. Wasidhamaini vitu vya anasa kupita inavyostahili, kama maisha ya starehe au mavazi ya kitajiri. Watoto
wengi wasio na chochote wanaopuuza mambo ya anasa ndio wanaofaulu pakubwa katika maisha. Wenye tamaa
hawafaulu kwani huishia kuwa wezi kwa kuwa na hamu na kujipatia vya mwosho wakajipatia gerezani.
