2. COMPREHENSION PASSAGE 20 MARKS


1. Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.

Discipline is something that we have all experienced personally in different forms, seen used on
others, and is also something that many of us will go on to use later in life, both in the form of
self-discipline and as something to keep children and even employees in check. It is essential to
life as we know it, and we need it in its many different forms in many different situations.

The first reason that discipline is so important is that we all need to exercise self-discipline to be
successful in life. Self-discipline can mean very different things to different people; for students,
for example, self-discipline is often about motivating yourself and making yourself concentrate
on your studies and get your assignments in on time. For working people, it can be as simple as

[Contact 0724333200/0795491185/ 0768321553 for Marking Schemes or


Order online at www.kenyaeducators.co.ke]
getting up on time every morning, however tired you may be and how much you may hate your
job, getting to work on time and doing your job. Without this kind of self-discipline, people
would not be able to enjoy academic success, or be successful in their careers either.

Self-discipline is also required for dieters and anyone doing regular exercise, because given the
chance, most of us would prefer to be lazy rather than get up and exercise, and eat burgers and
fries rather than healthy food. Without it, even more people would be fat and unhealthy, and a
lack of self-discipline in some people certainly contributes to the obesity crisis.

Discipline is also something that needs to be used on others where necessary. If parents didn’t
discipline their children when they were naughty, children wouldn’t grow up knowing right from
wrong, or be able to become productive members of society who contribute to the system.
Equally, schoolteachers need to be able to dish out punishments to children who don’t behave
themselves. Without discipline in the classroom, there would be a great deal of disruption and
nobody would ever learn anything. Indeed, teachers who struggle to command the respect of
students and who fail to use discipline effectively will often have trouble even making
themselves heard in a classroom.

In the workplace, discipline is also essential to maintaining a hierarchy and dealing with
employees who do not follow company policies and procedures, regularly arrive late or not at all,
or treat their co-workers unfairly. Then, you have to consider that without discipline, there would
be no law enforcement. Murderers would be roaming the streets and everybody would be
stealing from each other, because there would be no consequences for their actions.

Discipline acts as a vital deterrent to stop children being naughty, people from missing work,
and even potential criminals from stealing and killing, and for this reason it is vital in human
society.

Besides the springs of dove;

And very few to love

Half-hidden from the eye!
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky

She lived unknown, and few could know


When Lucy ceased to be:
But she in her grave, and oh,
The difference to me!

Passage I (10mks)

Nous sommes dans la salle de classe. Regardez !

Qui est dans la salle de classe ? C’est Monsieur Fontaine. C’est le professeur. Il met des cahiers

« Ah, qu’il fait beau aujourd’hui ! » dit le professeur.

Monsieur Fontaine ouvre la fenêtre. Il regarde les garçons. Ils sont au terrain de sports et ils
jouent. Le terrain de sports est devant le réfectoire.

Soudain la cloche sonne et les garçons entrent dans la classe. Le professeur regarde l’horloge. Il
est huit heures et quart.

Monsieur Fontaine ouvre la porte et il sort.

« Bonjour François ! »

« Bonjour, René ! »

Les deux garçons entrent et attendent le professeur. René pose son sac sur la chaise et regarde un
élève qui efface le tableau noir. François regarde le sac. Il regarde le stylo de René et il sourit.

Soudain il prend le stylo. Il crie : « Levez les mains ! » René est furieux et il crie aussi : «
Donne-moi mon stylo ! » Mais François court derrière le pupitre et des livres, des cahiers, des
crayons tombent sur la terre

Soudain la porte ouvre et un homme entre dans la salle de classe.

Quelle horreur !

UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)

Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yatakayofuata

Leo hii suala la kuwaonyesha watoto mapenzi ni suala la ziada. Kuna mambo mengine mengi
maishani mwetu ambayo tunayachukulia kuwa muhimu zaidi. Ni vizuri tuwaokoe watoto
wetu, tusije tukawalilia baadaye. Kuna vitendo vya ukatili ambavyo watoto hutendewa.

Hivi majuzi tumekuwa na visa vya vilenge kung’olewa mimbani viumbe hawa walipokatiziwa
uhai, maiti zao zilitupwa kama takataka. Hiyo ni miili ambayo ilipatikana je, ni maelfu
mangapi ya miili mingine kama hiyo inayotupwa? Hii tu ilikuwa tone ndogo tu la bahari ya
dhambi ambazo zote tunaogelea ndani.

Mambo kama haya ni mazao ya mimea yetu ambayo tulipanda sisi ambao hatuchelewi kujiita
watu walio huru, walio na maendeleo na wa kisasa. Tumekuwa watu wa kupuuza mambo ya
kimapokeo ya kuzingatia utu na kuficha aibu aghalabu tumejitia usasa kwa kutazama filamu
na video chafu, kusikiliza muziki wenye maneno machafu. Tunapoona watoto wetu
wakitembea nusu uchi, hatushughuliki hata kidogo kuwakanya.

Kama ni kosa, sisi sote tumehusika kwa njia moja au nyingine kwa njia tofauti. Ni vizuri
tuelewe kuwa sisi ni wakuuzaji na walizi wa ndugu zetu kwa kila njia.

Tutawaokoa watoto kwa kukataa mambo yote yanayowanyanyasa. Lazima tuwaonyeshe


watoto mapenzi, mapenzi si chakula, mavazi na makazi tu. Mapenzi si kuwaachia vijana uhuru
watende watendavyo. Mapenzi sio kuwanunulia watoto vitu vya bei ghali au kuacha
kuwakemea wanapokosa mwelekeo.

Mapenzi kwa watoto ni kuwaheshimu na kuwatendea kama binadamu yeyote. Lazima mzazi
akumbuke kwamba mtoto hujifunza kutoka kwake. Mtoto atakutendea isitoshe jinsi
unavyomtendea. Isitoshe jinsi unavyomtendea mtoto wako ndivyo atakavyowatendea watoto
wake na wale wote ambao atapata kuhusiana nao kwa njia moja au nyingine.

Tuwaokoe watoto wetu katika viwango vyote vya ukuaji. Kusiwe na mwanya baina ya mzazi
na mtoto. Watoto wawe kutuambia yote yanayowahangaisha mioyoni mwao, na hali hii
itawapa wazazi fursa ya kuwasaidia. Mtoto anapokosa, tuwe tayari kumwonyesha kosa lake
na kumwadhibu kwa mapenzi.

Mtoto wa mwenzetu akipotoka pia tuwe tayari kumkosoa na kuwaarifu wazazi wake.
Tuwache ubinafsi wetu kumbuka kuwa mwana wa mwenzio ni wako. Ni jambo la busara
kuhakikisha kuwa kama wazazi, tuzingatie haki zote za watoto.
