SECTION
A: COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY
1.
Read the passage below carefully and then
answer the questions that follow
My name is Nianjema; I had not traveled to Mwanza before. My sister, Ananijali
invited me to her house in Mwanza so that 1 could see the rocks. My mother told
me to be polite to my sister and her husband during my stay with them. 1 was so
excited and 1 told my friends about the journey. My sister told me that my
brother-in-law will come to pick me over the weekend.
It was Saturday evening when my brother-in-law
arrived at our place. He told me that, we would travel by bus as it was faster
than the train and cheaper than the plane. On Sunday we bought tickets at the
booking office in Dar-es-salaam and we managed to board the bus at 8,00a.m. The
conductor was very respectful and polite in attending to his passengers. When we
reached Dodoma, I heard a screech of tyres and the bus started to move in a
zigzag manner and finally stopped.
Most of the passengers were screaming and I did
the same. My brother-in-law who was concerned with my safety held my hands and
urged me to stop panicking. He told me that it was only a tire bust and there
was no more danger. The bus was moving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
We were all grateful to the driver, Mr. Ntoi, because if he was moving at a
high speed than that; we could have been involved in a very bad accident.
We all got out of the bus and the tyre was
changed before we continued with our journey. We then stopped to refuel at
Manyoni Kobil fuel station. The Amp attendant looked up and saw me looking at
him. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He told me that, I will be enjoying
very much seeing the wonders in the rock city where rocks are set as if they
are going to fall. He finally told me to bring him some fish on my way back.
What he told me stimulated me a lot and I could not wait to get to Mwanza to
see the rocks and tell my sister about the journey.
