Soma ufahamu kisha ujibu maswali 31-40  

Hewaa! Bila shaka, sote tulikuwa tumeisuburu siku hii kwa hamu na ghamu. Nami sitapoteza hata punje ya sekunde. Nitatumia fursa hii adimu na adhimu kukufafanulia mambo unayofaa kuyafanya ili ufaulu katika mtihani wa kitaifa. Ni bayana na wazi kama meno ya ngiri kuwa sasa wewe ni mwanafunzi wa darasa la nane. Muda nao haupo, una miezi michache sana kabla ya kuufanya mtihani wa kitaifa wa darasa la nane. Je, umejiandaa vipi? Unawezaje kutumia muda huu mfupi uliosalia ili kufua dafu katika mtihani wako?

Awali ya yote, ni lazima kama ibada kuwa mwenye bidii. Naam, bidii hulipa. Bidii ndilo daraja la kukuvusha hadi katika kisiwa cha ufanisi. Fanya kazi unazopewa na mwalimu kwa moyo wako wote. Kazi za kiada na ziada zisipuuzwe hata kidogo. Usikubali kulaza damu na kuwa mtepetevu. Masomo yapewe kipaumbele ikiwa unataka kufaulu. Licha ya hayo, tumia muda wako vizuri. Wakati ni upepo, haumsubiri mwana wa mfalme. Muda ukienda haurudi Jambo linalofaa kufanywa leo lifanywe leo. Usijiambie kuwa nitafanya kesho. La hasha! Wakati uliotengewa kusoma utumike kwa kusoma. Ule uliotengewa kucheza uwe wa kucheza. Usipoteze wakati ukitazama runinga au kucheza na marafiki hapa na pale. Hilo uliepuke.

Aidha, ni muhimu kuwachagua marafiki zako kwa hekima na busara. Lazima unajua wanafunzi katika darasa lenu ambao wanapenda kusoma na wale wasiokuwa na haja na masomo. Wale wapendao masomo ndio wanaofaa kuwa marafiki zako. Hao watakufaa na kukuelekeza katika mambo ambayo huyajui. Watakusaidia unapokuwa na tatizo katika somo lolote. Kwa upande mwingine, kuna wanafunzi ambao kazi yao kuu ni mchezo na kuchekacheka darasani. Wanapopata nafasi yoyote, pengine mwalimu hajaingia darasani au hakuja shuleni, wao huipokea nafasi hiyo kwa furaha ili wacheze na kuwasumbua wenzao. Kutembea au kusuhubiana na watu kama hao ni kujiingiza katika kichaka cha simba ukiona. Tabia za mtu hutegemea sana tabia za watu anaotembea nao. Marafiki wabaya wanaweza wakafanya uwe mwenye tabia mbaya. Hilo usisahau.

Vilevile, usichoke kuuliza maswali na kufanya utafiti. Wahenga walisema kuwa kuuliza si ujinga, ni kutaka kujua. Kila unapokuwa na swali ama jambo usilolielewa, usione aibu wala haya. Uliza mwalimu wako ili akupe mwelekeo. Iwapo mwalimu hayuko na kuna mwanafunzi anayeweza kukueleza, basi tafuta msaada kwake. Kwa namna hiyo, utazidi kupata maarifa na kujiimarisha kimasomo. Usiwaogope wanafunzi ambao humcheka mwenzao anapouliza swali. Waache waendelee kucheka. Pengine hawajui kuwa mcheka kilema hali hakijamika. Kujisomea na kudurusu nako ni muhimu sana. Panga muda wako wa kujisomea ili kuelewa mambo ambayo hukuwa umeelewa vizuri. Fanya mazoezi ya mitihani iliyopita kisha ujisahihishie au mwalimu akusahihishie. Hakikisha kuwa unapata maelezo ya maswali uliyofeti na kufanya masahihisho. Kwa namna hii, utakuwa imara kama chuma cha pua.

Jambo jingine ambalo ni muhimu mno ni kumtanguliza Mungu. Mungu ndiye mpaji wa vyote. Ndiye ahakikishaye kwamba umelala na kuamka salama salimini. Afya yako, ja mwili na akili, i mikononi pake. Huwezi ukafaulu katika jambo lolote bila msaada wa Mungu. Juhudi zote unazoweka katika masomo yako si chochote si lolote bila uwezo wa Mwenyezi Mungu. Muu ndio ukweli wa kauli kuwa jitihada haiondoi kudura. Hatimaye, ni jambo la busara kutenga muda wa kupumzika vya kutosha. Hakuna awezaye kuchapa kazi bila kupumzika. Unafaa kupumzika kila baada ya kusoma kwa muda wa kutosha. Kupumzika huko kunajumuisha kulala ama kucheza na wenzako. Unapocheza kisha uoge na kupata usingizi wa kutosha, akili yako huwa na uwezo wa kuelewa mambo unayoyasoma kwa kasi sana. Ninakutakia kila la heri unapojiandes kwa mtihani wako mwisho wa mwaka huu.

Daima siwezi kumsahau Mzee Saidia katika maisha yangu yote. Japo wasemao husema kuwa yaliyopita si ndwele tugange yajayo, kumsahau Mzee Saidia na wema wake si rahisi kama kula papai kwa kijiko. Mzee Saidia alikuwa jirani yangu aliyekuwa si maskini hohehahe wala tajiri wa kutajika. Alikuwa na duka moja pale sokoni Shibale alipouzia bidhaa rejareja. Kila nilipotumwa dukani na wazazi wangu, nilihakikisha kuwa nimenunua dukani pake kutokana na upole wake alipowahudumia wateja. Aghalabu duka hilo lilijaa wateja waliohiari kusubiri kwa muda mrefu ili wapate huduma nzuri. Wengine nao hawakuwa na pesa, haja yao ilikuwa kumlilia hali ili wakopeshwe. Mzee Saidia aliwasikiliza na kuwasaidia kulingana na uwezo wake. Duka lake lilifunguliwa asubuhi na mapema, lingekuwa wazi huku wateja wakiingia na kutoka hadi saa mbili au tatu za usiku.

Kuna wakati wazazi wangu walianza kuugua kutokana na maradhi yasiyokuwa na tiba. Juhudi zao za kutafuta matibabu hazikuzaa matunda. Haukupita muda mrefu kabla ya wazazi wangu niliowapenda kama mboni za macho kuzidiwa na maradhi. Walilala usingizi usiojua kuamka. Niliunawa uso wangu katika machozi yasiyojua kuwa kilio si dawa. Wanuna wangu nao walionekana kuzubaa tu, wasielewe kwa nini watu wengi walijaa nyumbani kwetu. Baada ya mazishi ya wazazi wangu, shangazi alichukua mnuna mmoja na mjomba akachukua mwingine. Mimi nilibaki na ami yangu aliyependa pombe kama uhai wake. Maisha katika nyumba ya ami yalikuwa magumu kama jehanamu. Kuenda shuleni kulikuwa ndoto ya mchana. Lishe bora nayo ulikuwa msamiati uliowekwa katika kamusi kimakosa.

Siku moja nilipigwa na butwaa nilipoona watu wakijaa katika boma. Wengi wao walikuwa waliokula chumvi nyingi. Mara nilipasuliwa mbarika kwamba nilifaa kukeketwa kulingana na mila na itikadi za jamii yetu. Licha ya watu wengi kuzitupilia mbali mila hizo zilizopitwa na wakati, kunao waliopuuza na kuzikumbatia. Nilitetemeka kama kijibwa kilichonusurika kumezwa na chatu. Nilifungwa maleso na kuelekezwa katika kijumba kilichokuwa kitalifa cha pua na mdomo kutoka kwa ami. Ghafla kama mawingu, niliona maafisa wa polisi wakijitokeza mbele yetu. Ami na baadhi ya watu waliohusika katika shughuli hiyo walitiwa mbaroni. Wengine wallfaulu kupiga mbio na kutokomea. Polisi hao walinifahamisha kuwa walipigiwa simu na Mzee Saidia, akawafahamisha kuhusu ukatili uliokuwa ukiendelea.

Mzee Saidia alinirudisha shuleni. Huko nilisoma kwa bidii za mchwa ajengaye kichuguu kwa mate. Mzee Saidia alinifaa kwa hali na mali. Alinichukulia kama mmoja wa watoto wake. Sote tulienda shuleni na kufaidi utamu wa masomo. Nililala katika chumba kimoja na mabinti zake. Wakati wa wikendi au likizo, tulifanya shughuli kadhaa za shambani na nyumbani. Mzee Saidia hakukubali hisia za uzembe wala ubaguzi. Baada ya masomo ya shule ya msingi. tuliendelea na masomo ya shule ya upili. Mzee Saidia alinilipia masomo yangu ya chuo kikuu. Nikasoma hadi nikatimiza hamu yangu ya masomo. Baada ya kufuzu, niliajiriwa katika kampuni moja maarufu nchini humu. Niliwachukua wanuna wangu ili waendeleze masomo kutokea walipokuwa wamefika. Nilizingatia mafunzo ya uadilifu na bidii niliyopewa na Mzee Saidia. Tulipopata nafasi, tungejumuika nyumbani kwake pamoja na wanawe ili kufaidi nasaha alizotupa na kumshukuru kwa moyo wake uliosheheni wema.

Baada ya nusu mwongo wa kufanya kazi nchini humu, nilipata nafasi ya kufanya kazi kule ng'ambo. Mimi na wanuna wangu hatukuwa na budi kuhamia huko, Mzee Saidia na aila yake yote walitusindikiza hadi katika uwanja wa ndege. Tuling'oa nanga, tukasafiri na kuwasili Marekani bila shari wala dosari. Miaka takribuni kumi ilikuwa imepita. Wakati huo wote tulizungumza na Mzee Saidia kwa simu tu na kuandikiana baruapepe. Kila mwisho wa mwezi, sikusita kumtumia kitita cha pesa, shukrani zangu za dhati kwa wema wake. Mara nilipata ujumbe kuwa Mzee Saidia alikuwa amezidiwa na ugonjwa wa figo. Nilizungumza na wanawe pamoja na mkewe, tukaelewana kuwa aje ng'ambo ili afanyiwe matibabu. Alipowasili marekani, nilienda kumpokea katika uwanja wa ndege. Tulikutana tena baada ya tukio hilo la wema. Ulikuwa umepita muda mrefu lakini bado nilimshukuru.

Read the passage below and answer questions 26 to 38.   

Whether you are the best pupil in class or not, no matter how hardworking or bright you are, you are bound to miss class one day. The likelihood is that it will be more than one day; it is inevitable. Emergencies, illness, bereavement and a desire to sleep on are some of the reasons pupils abscond classes.

When you miss class because of your irresponsibility, you ought to look closely at your priorities and obligations because you are responsible for your future. So, what happens when you miss a lesson? Will you just walk into the next class and continue as
usual?

If you miss one lesson, it means you have missed out a section of the syllabus. You therefore need to be at par with your classmates. Some of the practices to help you get completely up to speed for your next class when you miss class include: You need to understand that some teachers take offence at absences. Unless you were gravely ill or lost a close relative, they may never want to listen to your explanations. Others will allow you to miss even if it is just a mild flu. Whichever category your teacher falls, do not take it personally. Every teacher wants their pupils to perform well. Determine where your teacher stands and let that dictate how you handle such circumstances.

Tell your teacher or have a close relative inform them that you will not be attending their classes. This will convince the teacher that indeed you have a problem. You could also inform the class prefect or classmate to inform your teacher about your absence.

If you have been given an assignment prior to your absence and you had completed it, ensure it gets to your teacher even as you are away. When you eventually come back to class, it would be rude for you to ask if you missed anything important. Every teacher knows and feels that their class is important. Get hold of notes that were taken while you were away, ask questions and clarification for the information you did not understand.

Find out from the other pupils what they did while you were absent and request them to share their notes. Do not just read one student's notes; get them from different students since some students tend to miss out some points. This way, you will get the complete picture of what had happened in class. You could also request your teachers for one-on- one session with them during free time so that they take you through the lesson you missed.

26. Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?
    1. There are reasons why student miss classes.
    2. Disciplined, bright and hardworking pupils often miss classes.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39 to 50.

Research has shown that students who are involved in co-curricular programs tend to achieve better results in academic work as opposed to the usual 'bookworms'. They know how to strike a balance between academics and co-curricular activities. They utilize time they have at their disposal and make the most of it. They show great interest in their academics and go an extra mile to show their prowess. It is also important to note that students taking part in co-curricular activities stand a chance to join better secondary schools and colleges.

Co-curricular activities make learners both creative and innovative. They stimulate the learner's interest and desires to find new ways of solving the many challenges that come their way. These learners also relate well with other people. They know how to make and keep friends

Co-curricular activities help the learners remain fit and refresh their mind. Such learners are unlikely to suffer from lifestyle diseases or even subjected to intense stress. It also keep students away from harmful habits like drugs, crime and immorality. Learners who are active in co-curricular activities are occupied at all times and have no time to think of destructive behavior.

Parents should encourage their children to be active in co-curricular activities. Education is a broad concept that goes beyond the confinement of a classroom. The principle aim of education is to bring about an all-round development of a child. This implies that a child has to develop physically, intellectually, morally and socially. To fulfil, these objectives, there is a prime need of striking a balance between syllabus work and co- curricular activities. It is pointless for a child to get A's in academics yet he is physically unfit and can hardly get along with the society at large.

Co-curricular activities are activities which take place outside a typical pen and pencil classroom environment.
