Akiba ni nini? Kwa kifupi, akiba ni kitu kilichotengwa kwa ajili ya manufaa ya baadaye. Watu wanaoamini akiba huwa wanafahamu kuwa maisha yana nyuso mara mbili: wakati wa mavuno mema na wakati wa mavuno hafifu. Wanazaraa hawa wanafahamu fika kuwa kuna uwezekano wa kupata mavuno kama hayo mbeleni. Taifa linalowajali wazalendo wake huhakikisha kuwa maghala yamejaa vyakula nomi. Akiba maarufu zaidi ni ya kuhifadhi pesa benkini.

Watu wengi duniani wamebakia kuwa walalahoi kwa kutojua wala kutambua namna ya kuweka akiba. Utawasikia wengi wakisema kuwa hakiba huwekwa na waja wenye vipato vikubwa. Kabla ya kufikiria hivyo ni vyema ujue kuwa waliokuwa au walionavyo, mwanzoni hawakuwa navyo. Mtu anaweza kuweka akiba hata kama kipato chake ni cha chini kabisa. Kumbuka kuwa hakiba haiozi na kidogo kidogo hujazaa kibaba.

Wengine hulalamika eti hawawezi kuweka akiba kwani mapato yao huishia tu wanapokidhi matakwa
yao ya lazima. Hawajui kwamba iwapo wanataka kuwa na uchumi thabiti katika siku za usoni ni sharti kujinyima. Kukosa kuweka akiba eti kwa kusingizia mshahara mdogo ni kujipumbaza tu. Kuna baadhi ya watu vilevile wanaodhani kuwa wao ni wachanga zaidi kuanza kuweka hifadhi. Kuna wanaofanya mipango mizuri zaidi ya kuzitumia pesa zao lakini tamaa na uchu huwafanya tena kupotoka kabisa. Kupanga kufanya jambo na kisha ukakosa kulitekeleza ni kupoteza muda. Utawaona watu wanalipwa mshahara, wanatumia kila kitu na kuendelea kufanya kazi kungojea mshahara mwingine. Huku ni kuzungukia sehemu moja kama tiara bila kupiga hatua.

Ni jambo la busara sana kuanza kuweka akiba kutoka utotoni. Akiba hizi zinaweza kufanywa kwa njia ayami. Mwanzo mtu anaweza kuwa na mkebe mdogo uliotengenezwa kwa njia ya kipekee. Mkebe huo huwa na kishimo kidogo kinachomwezesha mtu kuweka pesa bila kutoa. Njia nyingine ni kuwa wazazi au walezi wao kuwawekea. Wazazi na walezi wanaweza kuwafungulia watoto wao akaunti kwenye benki. Kuweka pesa benkini ni bora zaidi kuliko akiba nyingine zozote. Hii ni kwa sababu ya ulinzi wa pesa pale benkini. Isitoshe, pesa zinazowekwa kwenye benki huzaa riba. Vilevile pesa hizo zinaweza kuwekezwa kwa njia ambazo faida zitaonekana na mtoto mwenyewe. Mtoto anaweza kununuliwa mifugo kama vile; kuku, sungura, mabata ambao watazaana na kumletea mtoto faida zaidi.

Mtoto anapoona kuwa pesa zake zinaweza kuendelea kuzaa huwa na motisha wa kuendelea kuweka
akiba. Mwana akilelewa kwa tamaduni hizi za kuwekeza, kamwe hataacha hata akiwa mtu mzima. Atakuwa na mshawasha wa kuendelea kuzalisha milele. Kuweka akiba kutoka utotoni humfanya mtoto kuwa na pesa za kutosha hata kuyaendeleza masomo yake bila kutegemea wafadhili. Huku ndiko kujitegemea. Mtu anayejitegemea huishi maisha ya amani na raha mstarehe.

Je, wewe tayari una akiba au utaanza kuweka leo? Kumbuka kuwa kuweka akiba ni ishara kubwa zaidi ya kuwa na nidhamu.

    1. akiba muhimu zaidi ni za vyakula vya wakulima

    3. wanafanya mipango mizuri lakini hawaitekelezi 
    4. mapato yao yanawaruhusu kuweka akiba ndogo mno

Nyanya Matinda alikuwa ametualika twende kumsalimia. Mwanzo aliwauliza wazazi wetu iwapo sote tungepatikana wakati wa sikukuu ya Krismasi. Wengi waliitikia ualishi huo isipokuwa shangazi ambaye aljitetea kuwa binamu yetu Juma angekuwa na shughuli muhimu chuoni. Baada ya majadiliano ya kina na watu wote wa ukoo, uamuzi ulitolewa kuwa twende kumtembelea wakati wa kiburunzi.

Mimi sikuwa nimemwona bibi huyu kwa zaidi ya nusu mwongo. Nilikuwa na mchanganyiko wa furaha na maswali. Furaha kwa kuwa ningepata nafasi ya kuzuru watu wa nyumbani na maswali ya kujua tuliloitiwa. "Je, nyanya anataka kuishia ahera ama vipi? Niliwaza na kuwazua. Nilitaka kuingojea siku hiyo ili nijue dhahiri shahiri. Bibi alikuwa ametayarisha kuchinja ndume wake kuwa kitoweo chetu.

Kufikia saa tisa alasiri tarehe thelathini na moja Desemba, kila mmoja alikuwa amewasili. Mimi ndimi niliyefika karibu wa mwisho. Nilipofika kwa nyanya nilishangazwa na wingi wa watu. Ukweli ni kwamba, singewajua wala kuwatambua wote. Wengi walikuwa ajinabi machoni pangu. Kulikuwa na harufu nzuri ya vyakula hewani. Nilianza kudondokwa na mate bila kujua. Punde si punde, tuliombwa na ami mkuu tuingie ndani sote. Nyumba ya nyanya ilikuwa na bahari ya sebule. Tulimezwa sote na hakukuwa aliyetapikwa hata mmoja. Ilikuwani nyumba ya kisasa iliyojengwa kwa teknolojia mpya.

Pale sebuleni. kila mmoja alionekana akishughulika na simu za mkononi. Wengine walikuwa kwenye mtandao, wengine wakicheza michezo, wengine wakiandika jumbe na wengine wakipiga picha almaarufu 'selfie". Mara nyanya Matinda alinyerereka asteaste na kuingia ndani. Cha ajabu ni kwamba, hakuna aliyemwona isipokuwa mimi. Wote walikuwa na shughuli. Nyanya alionekana kukasirika. Alitoka shoti na kuingia katika chumba chake cha kulala. Aliporudi alikuwa amebeba gunia. Alikohoa. Kila mmoja aliinua kichwa na kumwangalia. "Hata hamna muda wa kuzungumza mjuane? Simu..simu.simu tu! Kila mmoja aiweke simu yake kwenye gunia hili." Nyanya alifoka kwa ukali. Tulitii amri ingawa kwa shingo upande.

Sote hatukufurahia lakini tukajibu, "Pole nyanya Matinda kwa kukuudhi'"kwa kauli moja. "Ni kwa nini mmechangamkia elimu ya ulimwengu na huku elimu ya ukoo mmeipoteza? Ni kwa nini hamuwezi kuzungumza mkajuane? Hamjui kwamba dunia imeharibika siku hizi? Hamjawaona ndugu wa damu wakioana kwa kutojua? Ni kwa nini dunia hii inawapotosha wajukuu wangu? Ama nyote mnajuana?" Hapana nyanya," tulijibu kwa pamoja. "Haya hebu sasa mwangalie mwenzako," alitoa kauli nyingine.

"Ah! Wajukuu wangu, mmedanganyika na kupotoka kabisa. Hebu tazameni humu mwangu, ni kitu
gani cha kisasa ambacho hakiko? Angalieni runinga yangu na simu yangu. Hivi vyote si vya kisasa? Sasa
hebu mniambie iwapo vimenikatiza kujua watu wa ukoo wangu?" Nyanya alisimulia kwa masikitiko.
"Vyombo hivi vyote vya teknolojia ni vyema. Nyinyi ndinyi mnavitumia isivyofaa. Mimi nilipozaliwa
nilipata kuwa kulikuwa na magazeti na televisheni. Baba yangu alikuwa na kijiredio cha mbao ambacho
hakuna hata mmoja aliyeruhusiwa kukigusa." Tuliangua kicheko. "Acheni kucheka. Hata tulikuwa na
televisheni ya "Sanyo' ambayo ilionyesha rangi nyeusi na nyeupe."tulicheka tena. "Isitoshe, kijiji kizima
kilifika kwetu wakati wa Magharibi kutazama taarifa ya habari!"

Wakati huo wote tulishindwa kuzuia vicheko. Nyanya pia aliongezea kuwa baba yake alikuwa na saa kubwa sana. Saa hiyo iliyotajwa kuwa ya "Majira' iikuwa kubwa zaidi kiasi kwamba iliwekwa sakafuni.
Alidokeza kuwa saa hiyo haikutumia betri. Kila mara ungesikia ikitoa sauti kwaa krabu zake, ch! ch! ch!
Saa ishirini na nne.

Wajukuu wangu, nimemaliza mizungu. Sasa karibuni tule na tufurahie kuwa watu wa ukoo mmoja." Sinia za minofu zilianza kuletwa mezani.

Read the passage below and answer questions 26 to 38

I had heard a great deal about Miss Beam's school. It was the talk of the town. Many parents wished they could secure a slot there for their children. However, it was not everyone who applied got the nod. I had a burning desire to visit the school and see for myself what happened there. It was not until last week that the chance to visit it came. I was full of mirth as I readied myself for the visit.

When I arrived, there was no one in sight but a girl of about twelve. Her eyes were covered with a bandage and she was being led carefully between the flower-beds by a little boy who was about four years younger. Suddenly, the girl stopped and it appeared as she had asked the boy who had come. He seemed to be describing me to her. Then they passed on.

Miss Beam was all that I had expected - middle-aged, full of authority, yet kindly and understanding. Her hair was beginning to turn grey and she had the kind of plump figure that is likely to be comforting to a homesick child. She received me with open arms as soon as I had introduced myself. Of course she had been expecting me. I asked her some questions about her teaching methods which I had heard were both unique and exciting.

She briefly explained how the school started and what prompted her to employ practical methods of teaching. "Our principal goal is to equip learners with special skills that will enable them demonstrate kindness to others and to be responsible citizens. Take a minute and look out of the window." I went to the window which overlooked a large garden and a playground at the back. "What do you see?" Miss Beam asked.

"I see some very beautiful grounds," I said, "and a lot of jolly children. It pains me, though, to see that they are not all so healthy and active-looking. When I came in, I saw one poor little girl being led about. She has some trouble with her eyes. Now I can see two more with the same difficulty. And there's a girl with a crutch watching the others at play. She seems to be a hopeless cripple.

Miss Beam laughed. "Oh, no!" she said. "She's not really lame. This is only her lame day. The others are not blind either. It is only their blind day." I must have looked very surprised, for she laughed again.

"This is a very important part of our system. To make our children appreciate and understand misfortune, we make them share in misfortune too. Luckily, they are always eager to take part in the activities. Each ter1n every child has one blind day, one lame day, one deaf day, one injured day and one dumb day. During the blind day, their eyes are bandaged absolutely and they are on their honor not to peep. The bandage is put on overnight so they wake blind. This means that they need help with everything. Other children are given the duty of helping them and leading them about. They all learn so much this way -both the blind and the helpers. There is no misery about it. Everyone is very kind and it is really something of a game. Before the day is over, though, even the most thoughtless child realizes what misfortune is. The blind day is, of course, really the worst, but some of the children tell me that the dumb day is the most difficult. We cannot bandage the children's mouths, so they really have to exercise their will-power. Come into the garden and see for yourself how the children feel about it."

Miss Beam led me to one of the bandaged girls. I spent some time talking to them as well as the other children who appeared to have different forms of disabilities. I enjoyed interacting with them and even offered to play the role of a helper whenever necessary.

When I finally had to leave, I told Miss Beam that I was very sorry to go. I wished I had spent the entire term there to learn more essential life skills. As I left Miss Beam's School, I was a changed man. Now I understood why many adults wished to enroll their children there.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

Thanks to scientific advances over the last several decades, we human beings are able to lead healthier lives than ever before. We know how important it is to exercise regularly. We know which foods are the best for our bodies. And we certainly know one habit that we shouldn't pick up, because it's unhealthy and can even be fatal. What are we talking about? Smoking, of course! Have you ever read the Warning labels on a pack of cigarettes? Laws now require cigarette packages to contain warnings about the many bad side effects that can be experienced as a result of smoking.

If you look around you, though, you still see people smoking cigarettes. In many areas, it’s no longer lawful for people to smoke cigarettes in restaurants and other public places. These laws help protect non-smokers from the dangers of secondhand smoke.

If you stand in line at a convenience of store, you're also likely to see several people purchase packs cigarettes. Although the number of people who smoke is on the decline, there are still millions of people around the world who smoke cigarettes, despite the obvious health risks. Why do they do that? One of the main reasons people still smoke today is that they started smoking in the first place. People start smoking for many reasons: advertisements, easy availability of other reasons. And cigarettes, peer pressure, among as most smokers already know, once you start smoking, it can be very, very hard to stop

The fact that smoking is dangerous to your health is well-known today. Smoking has been linked to an increased likelihood to develop cancer and heart disease. Some studies show that your smoking can decrease lifespan by a decade or more. Smoking can also be a huge financial burden, costing thousands of shillings per year.

So why do people continue to smoke despite these negative effects? The answer is addiction. One of the primary ingredients of cigarette tobacco is nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like many addictive illegal drugs, nicotine makes a smoker continue to crave cigarettes if they try to smokers who are stop smoking. Even highly-motivated to stop smoking can have a difficult time withdrawal kicking the habit. Nicotine symptoms can make a smoker feel sick and lead to continuing to smoke despite a desire to quit.

The best way to quit smoking is never to start in the first place! Of course, that advice only helps those who have never smoked before or tried cigarettes. For those who have smoked for some time, it is possible to quit, but it can be a tougher battle than many people realize.

There are many products and strategies available today to help smokers kick the habit. For example, nicotine gum and patches can be used to slowly wean smokers off of the addictive substance. Many smokers, however, find that quitting "cold turkey" is the only way to go. That means that they simply stop smoking cigarettes one day and never smoke again. For people who try to quit smoking in this way, it is often helpful to rely on support groups, such as family, friends, or local groups of former smokers.

If you have someone in your life who smokes, you can help them quit by providing the support and encouragement they need. The first few days are always the hardest, and relapses are common. But, with support, many people are able to break the bonds of nicotine addiction to become smoke-free. When they do, they feel better and can begin to reverse some of the damage done by smoking.

    3. all types of foods are suitable for our bodies.
