SECTION A 

COMPREHENSION

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

 Most people in this country live in the country side. However, more and more of us are giving up own lives in the country to go and live in the city, where it is commonly though life is better. In my opinion, this view is mistaken.

 

It is often said that people can earn more money in the city. However, it is not just money that is important. In the country side money is not always necessary. If people grow their own food on their own shamba, with their own house and well, then they will not need to spend as much money as they do in the town. In the town, however, everything has to be paid for.

 

A further point is that life is healthier in the countryside. The air is cleaner, the water is purer and the food is fresher. People may say that in the countryside it is harder to find a clinic when you are sick. Of course, these are many poor people in the countryside with health problem, but if you can grow your own food and have money to buy a few extra things, you are less likely to get sick than in the town where the unhygienic conditions mean that diseases spread very quickly.

 

Finally, life is a lot safer in the countryside. People can trust their neighbours not to steal their possessions when they are away from home and they can walk home at night without fear of being attacked and robbed. In the city both of these are commonplace. There are also dangerous temptations for young people in the city such as drugs and gangs. These are rarely found in the countryside.

 

To sum up, life in the countryside is better in many important ways. No doubt the city does have its attractions, it well paid jobs, smart shops and entertainments, but to my mind these are less important than the advantages the countryside offers.

2.    Read the following short passage carefully and the write its summary in thirty (30) Words only.

Among the traditional African people, a man’s name was precious possession. The names meaning history and connotations were taken seriously. In same societies, a name of a person was only second to religion in terms of total spiritual environment, security, identification and ethnic pride. The concept of name –pride was so strong that there were several conflicts between individuals caused by simply referring to a person by a wrong name.
