Feeling a bit thirsty, he picked up a few cans of Pepsi and a carton of orange juice. Looking at the list once again, he still needed to pick up a bag of frozen vegetables and chips. That evening, they were having sandwiches for tea, so he chose a nice loaf of bread and slices of cold beef. Last on the list was kitchen roll, a tube of toothpaste and a bottle of shampoo.

To an important urgent function

Cold bell beer with small talk

Then friend chicken with niceties

Wine to fill the hollowness of the loughs

Coffee to keep the Ps awake on return journey

I drive the permanent secretary back

He yawned many times in back of the car

Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked

Did you have any lunch today?

I replied looking straight ahead

And secretary smiling at his belated concern

That I had none, but was slimming!

Upon which he said with seriousness

That amused more than annoyed me

Mwananchi, I too had none!

I attended to matter of state

High delicate diplomatic duties you know

And friend it goes against my grain

Causes me stomach ulcer and wind

Ah, he continued yawning again

The pain we suffer in building the nation

So the Ps had ulcers too!

My ulcers I think are equally painfully

Only they are caused by hunger

No sumptuous lunches!

So two nation builders

Arrived home this evening

With terrible stomach pains

The result of building the nation

Have you ever asked yourself why people who engage in sports look healthy and have great strong bodies? Sports play a very important role in our daily lives. For those who care about their health, it is a need for them to engage in sports of their interest, sports include swimming, football, athletics, cycling, mountain and rock climbing, skiing among many others.

Most health officers and doctors encourage people to engage in sports activities for fun and ensure that they are physically and mentally fit. These activities keep us away from heart related diseases (heart attack, high blood pressure), diabetes obesity, and mental stress among others.

Sporting is a good way of relaxing the body. After a busy day at work, it is encouraged to engage in sports activities that you like most to wind down the day. This will help relaxing of the muscles while making them more supple and toned. In addition it strengthens bones and joints. People who engage in sports are stronger and in position to engage in more challenging activities than those who don’t.

Aports provide environment that allow people to develop socially through socializing with others. At the end of the day friendships are established and deals are made. Other activities like draft and chess increase the efficiency and power of our mind to reason. If you compare a chess player and a non- player, a chess player can be very fast in terms of reasoning and decision-making. H`ealth should be everyone’s concern, as it keeps away amnesia as well as total memory loss during old age. Finally, sports help to boost our body posture and appearance.

SECTION A (10 Marks)

COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY

1. My friend told me of an old saying-“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. Because you believe this you also agree with the statement above. It is important that everyone should be able to employ himself/herself pleasurably and even profitably in their spare time, because in activity leads to boredom and a person who is bored is uninteresting; also he is more likely to fall into bad or even unlawful ways of spending his or her free time.

What is a hobby? It could be defined as some activity undertaken outside normal routine of school or work, preferably quite different from it ,so that one can get variety, which adds spice to life. It could be some form of physical activity e.g. games or athletics; mental activity e.g crosswords or chess and some form of entertainment in which you take an active part.

Your own hobby could be stamp collecting. You might find this relaxing, full of interest, educational in a pleasant sort of way. Geographical and Historical information can be gained from pictures and designs on stamps. It could be an inexpensive hobby or that most of your stamps are given to you by friends who have correspondents abroad or you are exchanging your stamps with other stamp collectors. Occasionally you might decide to buy from stamp dealers but always cheaply. You are always hoping to come across some rare and valuable stamp, though this rarely happens .

Your chief interest lies on arranging stamps in an album in order of countries – sometimes collecting only the stamps of one particular country or of one particular kind e.g stamps depicting flowers or animals. One advantage of your hobby is that it can be profitable as stamps rarely lose their value. The longer they are kept the more the value they gain.

Because of the introduction of machine and labour saving gadgets, people are earning more and more leisure time. Therefore, it will become more and more important in the future to learn to use our spare time wisely and well. A hobby is one of the best ways of doing so.
