[User] We are doing good

[Assistant]
My name is Zahara Majili, I am with sister Mariana Kinabo and bother Mbaba Malaki. We are from the Sokoine University of agriculture we are working with International organisation which deals with agriculture and it is known as IRI which is based in Nairobi and also it has his offices in Dar es Salaam. It is not the first time to hear about that to you. It came few years ago with project known as More Milk (Maziwa Zaidi). We are aslo working with Emory University which is found in USA. We are in the research we want understand the food changes in community and house hold also to study what is causing these changes. We came here in February this year we talked with some of the people and we discovered that there are new things which we don’t understand and hence we want to know more about that that is why we come to do more discussion on those issues that raised questions and understand how we can assist the community and house hold to improve the nutrition and food issues. We will be using recorders…….. (Consent processes going on-Abdulaziz Juma)

Let me start with the first section; We all know that in most societies, so many changes have been occurring, At the moment we can say those natural food is not very common as they used to be consumed in the past. Also, the way we cook have changed. The way we were cooking meat is not the same as how we used to cook in the past. Do you all agree with that?

[User] Yes

[Assistant] How we used cook meat in the past comparing to the current time we have?

[User] In the past we used to boil meat for so long but currently we cut it into pieces and roast the raw meat with tomatoes

[Assistant] mhhh so now you fry more than boiling? But we also have seen there are some food which are no more eaten and there are those that we consume. Example fish though some of Masai don’t consume it but there are Masai who are consuming it. They also eat sardines, chicken, rice, beans, and vegetables. These were not there among Masai society. What about Wagogo community?

[User] We used to eat Leaf Jute and dried cowpea leaves.

[Assistant] What about this time? You don’t dry the cowpea leaves. So, we have seen there are some changes it is either those natural old food is no more eaten or are less consumed. So, what caused this, why people are not more eating the natural food?

[User] Okay. Managed to improve my results from the last term.

[Assistant]
That’s good! Okay so why not we talk about that? Improve result is it just for English or other subjects?

Is it for different subjects?

[User] Most of the subjects improved.

[Assistant] Great! What about English in particular since this is a-

[User] WA1 I was from a fail to ... then after studying for quite a long time, I managed to pass in WA2.

[Assistant] Was it-WA1 was compre, compo?

[Assistant] Was it-WA1 was compre, compo?

[User] WA1 was compre. and WA2 was compo.

[Assistant] So, I used to teach English. My students would tell me “Cher, English cannot study one” So you said you studied, you worked hard. So what did you do?

[User] WA1 was compre. and WA2 was compo.

[Assistant] So, I used to teach English. My students would tell me “Cher, English cannot study one” So you said you studied, you worked hard. So what did you do?

[User] The teacher gave me samples of WA from the past years and then we get to find how to solve it and then write it.

[Assistant] Solve it meaning- it was a long compo or situational?

[Assistant] And then you come back and looked at it? Do you practice on your own, you were saying work hard so-

[User] Yeah I was at home practicing.

[Assistant] Okay, so when you practiced, usually you need somebody to tell you whether you are off track or not? Did you run it through Scribo to check?

[Assistant]
Oh okay. Because that’s what I was feeling, “eh how come I ask everybody and then nobody uses it for their own practice. So like huh?” 浪费掉, I mean it’s there what, so...

Okay so tell me some of the things that you are more confident of correcting even without Scribo, compared to previously. So what are some of the things you managed to catch?

[Assistant] So what are the types of sentence structures now that you used to make, but now you are better with?

[User] I used to type or write with.. I write very long sentences without commas. So now, after Scribo, it helped me shorten my sentence.

[Assistant] Okay, that’s great! Actually come to think of it, did your teachers comment- I mean it’s great that you from WA1 to WA2, you have improved. Along the way before WA2, did your teacher comment that “Jimmy, this year 不错 you have improved” or anything like that?

[User] No, I don’t think so.

[Assistant] Okay, no problem. Okay so we are comparing from- maybe we compare in general before we get down to Scribo. There are 3 main parts, I promise we will finish in about 25 minutes time. Definitely not longer than 5 o’clock. So I want to know generally, comparing last year Sec 2 and this year Sec 3, is it the same teacher?

[Assistant] Was there a difference in the way the teacher teach at Sec 2? That particular teacher that taught at Sec 2 versus now ?

[User] This year the teacher, they minus marks due to content. Like the quota, like the work count, we have to hit the word count. But then last year, they didn’t have word count.

[Assistant] But is the wordcount a problem for you?
