It was found sleeping deeply after feeding on a man. When the ogre heard the footsteps of the hunters, it woke up and ran as fast as its legs could carry it. When it reached a garden, it found a woman digging. The ogre told the woman: There are people who want to kill me for nothing, Pease help me. The woman hid the animal until the hunters had gone far away. When they were gone, the woman told the ogre to go away. But when the animal came out of the hiding place, it asked for food. The woman said: You asked for protection from the hunters chase. Now you ask for food. There is no food. The ogre said: If there is no food, you are going to be my food for today. The animal then ate the woman. From: The Oral Literature of the Kalenjin by C. Chesaina, Nairobi EAEP, 1991 .

COMPREHENSION 20MARKS Read the passage below and answer the question that follow. America has a long tradition of creativity. The expression Yankee ingenuity is an acknowledgement of this trait present Americans with a novel problem, especially technological and they are likely to come up with the solution sooner rather than later. That is the positive side. The downside is that in policy matters, Americans sometime come up with the solutions and then look for personal problems on which to test them. Washington D.C , perhaps more than any other city in the world, has many solutions seeking problems to lock onto. If the solution are successful, domestically or internationally, you can expect any amount of excitement and chest thumping, which is another hallmark of the American character. Modesty is frowned upon as something for sissies or failures. Countries and people are ready paradigm of winners and losers. Woe unto you if are a loser . You will endure all manner of taunts and putdowns. To escape this fate, most Americans-including those who are demonstrably poor, call themselves middle class, which probably they are when compared to the poor in other places. But poverty is relative to immediate environment not to some distant places. |
Never mind that there have been numerous turning points in Iraqi s tortured post-invasion experience. The winners were emerging. A few voices have urged caution but they are drowned out by the self-congratulation that has engulfed just about every major media outlet here. It is reminiscent of the chatter that followed Saddam Hussein s capture. That was another turning point. The irony is that America has been through this before, in a different place, with almost the exact same headlines. In the late 1967, many American newspapers published flowery and upbeat stories on the elections held in South Vietnam at the height of the war. The turnout was nearly 83 despite Vietcong terror. The election was declared a success and a turning point that would lead to stabilization of the country and eventual defeat of the insurgents. Of course, nothing of the sort happened. History does not invariably repeat itself. Sometimes it does. Whatever one might think of it, history does always serve up many lessons. One of them is that a dose of modesty is always in order when confronted with vast historical forces or when seeking to rearrange complex societies their go hundreds, if not thousands, of years back. What may look like victory as first sight may turn out to be another opening to a complex and trying situation that control produce winners or losers. It looks like this what is emerging in Iraq. The millions who headed to the polls on the instruction of their electrical leaders remember Grand Ayatollah Sistani declared it a religious duty to vote? May or may not have had a clear idea of what society were hoping to create. Their leaders probably do. Iraqis voted and they are justifiably proud of it. However, this should not be made to look like a first in the Islamic world, as it is being painted in the media. Not too long ago, an Islamic party had won a clear and convincing victory in free and fair election in Algeria. It was never allowed to assume power. The international authorities desisted from calling the denial an affront to democratic practice. The man who cancelled the Algerian election results if feted in the very same quarter that now preach democracy. Society s broken tyranny, war, fragmentation and other ills are not served by putdowns of important segments within them. The approach may produce winners in the short term but for more losers in the end. Moreover, here we are talking of those who could lose everything, including their lives, on a mass scale. |

Now , there came a time when they both wanted to get married. They decided would marry one woman with whom they had both fallen in love. Between the two of them they had enough bride wealth to pay for the woman, because each of them had half the required bride price. The woman s father accepted the bride wealth and gave permission for his daughter to get married to the two young men. The made an agreement among themselves and laid down conditions that were going to guide them in sharing this woman as a wife . One of the friends chose to have exclusive right to the woman s from the waist to the legs while the other one chose from the waist upwards to the head. Whenever the man who had chosen the upper part desired the woman, he called her into his house and had a pat on her and that was all. The other man who had chosen the lower parts took the woman to his house for the night. This arrangement worked until the woman became pregnant. After delivery. The friend who owned the upper part said to the woman, I won t allow you to breastfeed because the baby isn t mine. The woman objected loudly saying , But the baby is mine and the breast are also mine so I ll have to breast feed it. No, and yes, the baby is yours and my friends, but the breasts happen to be yours and mine, so you and my friends should try to get milk for your baby from elsewhere. I don t want you to feed it from your breasts, The man was serious and the woman got very worried. |

Perhaps my friend who owns your upper part can pay me back the part of the bride wealth I paid for you then he can have you as his wife and you won t have to be a wife to both of us, the other husband offered. However, he knew very well that his friend had neither money, cattle nor anything else which he could refund to him as part of the bride wealth he had paid for their wife. The matter was taken to the elders for discussion and settlement. After much consultations, it was decided that, that woman should be married to the man who owned the upper part of the body as the baby had to be fed. The friends disagreed and had their first serious quarrel. The situation was critical, so the father of the baby conceded and allowed his friend to refund the share of the bride wealth he had paid. It was then agreed by the elders that the woman should be exclusively married to the man who owned the breasts. This development marked the end of the friendship between the two young men.

The purpose of a discussion is to help each group member explore and discover personal meanings of a text through interaction with other people.

Www.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1, 2 3 19 In any learning discussion, communication is the essential issue, and the type of communication in use at any particular moment depends on the nature of understanding of each participant with regard to the topic at hand. Sometimes everyone understands a particular topic, in which case it need not be discussed. Sometimes nobody understands, in which case the group should consult the instructor or the text or else move on if it is not a topic of particular importance or interest. More commonly, some understand a particular issue and others do not. When this is the situation, those who think they understand may fine, while trying to explain, that they don t understand as well as they thought they did. And by the same token, those who thought they dint understand may find, in the process of formulating their questions and attempting to pinpoint their difficulty that is, thinking out loud , that they can answer their own question. There are two steps which together can appreciably increase the quality of learning, and the enjoyment of all group discussions. These are thoughtful preparation and organization of the discussion period. Unless each member is well prepared the group discussion will flounder. A discussion work sheet will be required for each discussion reading assignment. These work sheets will help you prepare effectively for class and allow the instructor to ascertain that you have indeed done this. A discussion of a novel can be successfully organized. One thing that will ensure this is to understand what the author actually said. There are five steps involved in this phase of discussion. Briefly define all important terms and concepts. This will help ensure that participants aren t talking past one another, by using the terms differently from one another. Then state the author s general point in your own words. In 3 or 4 sentences, what is the author basically trying to get across? Often there is a subtle point which is more important than the most obvious one. Afterwards, identify the major themes and key points in article. Make special note of those which are relevant to the concerns of the course. These will provide the most for discussion. Next allocate a certain amount of time for discussion of each major theme. There is never enough time to cover everything of interest. Budgeting time before you begin helps you pace the discussion so that you make sure you cover the most important topic. Lastly, discuss major themes or key points identified in the third step. |

Nora: I would be perfectly infamous of you. Sobbing to think of his learning my secret, which has been my joy and pride, in such an ugly, clumsy way that he should learn it from you! And it would out me in ah horribly disagreeable position. Krogstad: Only disagreeable? Nora: Impetuously well, do it, then! And it will be the worse of you. My husband will see for himself what a blackguard you are, and you certainly won t keep your post them. Krogstad: I asked you if it was only a disagreeable scene at home that you were afraid of? Nora: If my husband does get to know of it, of course he will at once pay you what is still owing, and we shall have nothing more to do with you.

Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow, Moving to a new country can be an exciting, even exhilarating experience. In a new environment, you somehow feel more alive: seeing new sights, eating new food, hearing the foreign sounds of a new language, and feeling a different climate against your skin stimulate your senses as never before. Soon, however, this sensory bombardment becomes sensory overload. Suddenly, new experiences seem stressful rather than stimulating, and delight turns into discomfort. This is the phenomenon known as culture shock. Culture shock is more than jet lag or homesickness, and it affects nearly everyone who enters a new culture - tourists, business travellers, diplomats and students alike. Although not everyone experiences culture shock in exactly the same way, many experts agree that it has roughly five stages. In the first stage, you are excited by your new environment. You experience some simple difficulties such as trying to use the telephone or public transportation, but you consider these small challenges that you can quickly overcome. Your feelings about the new culture are positive, so you are eager to make contact with people and to try new foods. Sooner or later, differences in behaviour and customs become more noticeable to you. This is the second stage of culture shock. Because you do not know the social customs of the new culture, you may find it difficult to make friends. For instance, you do not understand how to make "small talk," so it is hard to carry on a casual, get-acquainted conversation. One day in the school cafeteria, you overhear a conversation. You understand all the words, but you do not understand the meaning. Why is everyone laughing? Are they laughing at you or at some joke that you did not understand? Also, you aren't always sure how to act while shopping. Is this store self-service or should you wait for a clerk to assist you? |
Are they laughing at you or at some joke that you did not understand? Also, you aren't always sure how to act while shopping. Is this store self-service or should you wait for a clerk to assist you? If you buy a sweater in the wrong size, can you exchange it? These are not minor challenges; they are major frustrations. Www.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1, 2 3 36 In the third stage, you no longer have positive feelings about the new culture. You feel that you have made a mistake in coming here. Making friends hasn't been easy, so you begin to feel lonely and isolated. Now you want to be with familiar people and eat familiar food. You begin to spend most of your free time with students from your home country, and you eat in restaurants that serve your native food. In fact, food becomes an obsession, and you spend a lot of time planning, shopping for, and cooking food from home. You know that you are in the fourth stage of culture shock when you have negative feelings about almost everything. In this stage, you actively reject the new culture. You become critical, suspicious, and irritable. You believe that people are unfriendly, that your landlord is trying to cheat you, that your teachers do not like you, and that the food is making you sick. In fact, you may actually develop stomachaches, headaches, sleeplessness, lethargy, or other physical symptoms. Finally, you reach the fifth stage. As your language skills improve, you begin to have some success in meeting people and in negotiating situations. You are able to exchange the sweater that was too small, and you can successfully chat about the weather with a stranger on the bus. Your self-confidence grows. After realizing that you cannot change your surroundings, you begin to accept the differences and tolerate them. For instance the food will never be as tasty as the food in your home country, but you are now able to eat and sometimes even enjoy many dishes. You may not like the way some people in your host country dress or behave in public, but you do not regard their clothes and behaviour as wrong -just different. In conclusion, nearly everyone moving to a new country feels some degree of culture shock. Symptoms may vary, and not all people experience all five stages. Newcomers with a strong support group may feel at home immediately in the new culture, while others may take months to feel comfortable. |

It was necessary he should have no idea what a dangerous condition he was in. It was to me that the doctors came and said that his life was in danger, and that the only thing to save him was to live in the south. Do you suppose I didn t try, first of all, to get what I wanted as if it were for myself? I told him how much I should love to travel abroad like other young wives; I tried tears and entreaties with him; I told him that he ought to remember the condition I was in, and that he ought to be kind and indulgent to me; I even hinted that he might raise a loan. That nearly made him angry, Christine. He said I was thoughtless, and that it was his duty as my husband s not to indulge me in my whims and caprices as I believe he called them. Very well, I thought, you must be saved- and that was how I came to devise a way out of the difficulty www.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1, 2 3 37 Mrs. Linde: And did your husband never get to know from your father that the money had not come from him? Nora: No, never. Papa died just at that time. I had meant to let him into the secret and beg him never to reveal it. But he was so ill then-alas, there never was any need to tell him. Mrs. Linde: And since then have you never told your secret to your husband? Nora: Good heavens, no! How could you think so? A man who has such strong opinions about these things! And besides, how painful and humiliating it would be for Torvald, with his manly independence, to know that he owed me anything! It would upset our mutual relations altogether; our beautiful happy home would no longer be what it is now. Mrs. Linde: Do you mean never to tell him about it? Nora: meditatively, and with a half-smile yes-someday perhaps, after many years, when I am no longer as nice-looking as I am now. Don t laugh at me! I mean, of course, when Torvald is no longer as devoted to me as he is now; when my dancing and dressing-up and reciting have palled on him; then it may be a good thing to have something in reserve- breaking off what nonsense! |

That time will never come. Now, what do you think of my great secret, Christine? Do you still think I am of no use? I can tell you, too, that this affair has caused me a lot of worry. It has been by been by no means easy for me to meet my engagements punctually. I may tell you that there is something that is called, in business, quarterly interest, and another thing called payment in installments it is always so dreadfully difficult to manage them. I have had to save a little here and there, where I could, you understand have not been able to put aside much from my housekeeping money, for Torvald must have good table. I couldn t let my children be shabbily dressed I have felt obliged to use up all he gave me for them, the sweet little darlings! Mrs. Linde: So it has all had to come out of your own necessaries of life, poor Nora? Nora: Of course. Besides, I was the responsible for it. Whenever Torvald has given me money for new dresses and such things, I have never spent more than half of it: I have always bought the simplest and cheapest things. Thank heaven, any clothes look well on me, and so Torvald has never noticed it. But it was often very hard on me, Christine-because it is delightful to be really well dressed, isn t it?

Accordingly, I will ask the monkeys to water the garden for me, so that I can be off to enjoy myself and the holiday with the rest. So, he called the monkeys and asked them to water the garden.

After the gardener had gone, the monkeys took up the water skins and the watering pot and began to water the young trees. But the leader of the monkeys stopped them.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow. 20 marks Cybersecurity and data protection are essential topics--especially as regards children, who are more vulnerable to negative online exposure. With internet connections and internet-enabled devices in homes, children have easy access to entertainment applications, videos and games. It is crucial to educate and protect them from risk. A search of dangerous online games can be unsettling for any rational adult. Fire Fairy prompts children to turn on the gas stove at night, while everyone is asleep, with the promise of transforming into fire fairies upon waking. The Cinnamon Challenge involves swallowing a spoonful of ground cinnamon without water, which can be hazardous and lead to choking, throat irritation, breathing difficulties and collapsed lungs. Others include the Cutting Challenge, where players are encouraged to harm themselves with sharp objects; Salt Challenge; Blue Whale Challenge; and Tripping Trend. Online content includes social issues that may be contrary to certain cultural or societal norms. This can be a sensitive and complex topic for many families. But it is not all gloom for children on the internet. The internet offers children a wealth of entertainment, educational material and positive exposure. There are many online resources from educational websites and apps to interactive games and videos that can help children to learn and develop new skills. The internet can be a powerful tool for children s learning and growth if used responsibly. Many online educational platforms offer engaging and interactive lessons in subjects such as maths, science, language, arts and history. |
