8.Read the passage below carefully then answer the questions that follow.
English Language seems to be a problem to both teachers and students in Tanzania although it is an official language. It is taught as a subject in primary schools and is used as the medium of instruction from secondary schools to higher education levels.
In recent years, the language has been a barrier in academic performance among many students. It acts as an obstacle to some of the students toward learning new concepts intended since they fail to understand what is taught in the classroom by using English Language. As a result they finish a certain level of education without having the required skills and competences.
Some measures should be taken in order to solve the existing problem. It is suggested that Kiswahili should be used as a medium of instruction in all levels of education because it is the National language and it is well understood by Tanzanians as compared to English Language. It has been proven through various researches that, people understand better when they learn in the language they know.
There are some prevailing wrong perceptions that, Kiswahili has limited vocabularies and it is not self-sufficient when it comes to scientific and technological issues. This is a very wrong perception since any language in the universe has ability to borrow and incorporate words from other languages. However, there is no language which is self sufficient by itself.
Questions:
(a) Suggest the suitable title for the passage with about four to ten words.
(b) How could the problem of language of instruction be solved in Tanzania? Explain one means.
(c) Why has English Language been a problem in Tanzania? Give one reason.
(d) In your opinion, which language between Kiswahili and English should be used as a medium of instruction in all levels of education in Tanzania? Limit your response to one point.

10.Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Hallow heads torture me with ignorance,
Blind eyes harass me .with darkness,Deaf ears tire me with silence,
Dumb voices deafen me with gibberish,
Black minds confuse me with emptiness
And, above all,
There is power and command.
With wits and ears and eyes,
I have speech and strong mind,
But I remain weak and powerless.
They fight me they kill me.
It is a fight to bring me down to silence, To darkness and gibberish, to ignorance. And through brainwashing, to emptiness.
All right, my friends,
It's a battle and I will fight it
Ears and wits and eyes and speech,And strong conscience:
These are my weapons.
And I fight to the last cell.
