The nurses from our local clinic visited our school today. They came to talk to us about HIV and
AIDS. We had to ask some questions which they answered. Here are some of the questions they
had to answer;
1. What does HIV and AIDS stand for?
* AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
* HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency virus.
2. What is a virus?
* A virus is a very small germ that you can only see with a powerful microscope.
3. What is HIV?
* lt is a virus that weakens the body's defence mechanism (immune system) and attacks the cells
that help fight infections.
4. How does a virus get inside the body?
* Some viruses (especially colds and flue) are spread through the air or by sharing a glass with
someone who already has it. Some are spread through bodily fluids.
5. How is HIV spread?
* lt is spread through sharing needles especially when injecting drugs.
* lt is also spread by having unprotected sex with an infected person.
* An infected mother can also pass the virus on her baby before or during birth or when the baby
is breastfeeding.
* lt can also be transferred during blood transfusion but the risk is very small as all the blood is
usually screened for viruses before use.
Please note: HIV is not spread by sitting next to someone who has got it, at school or on the bus.
You can't get it from sharing swimming pools or by touching or by hugging or shaking hands.
These are just myths.
Questions
1. Who visited the school?
2. What was the purpose of the visit?
3. What does HIV stands for?
4. State one myth about HIV and AIDS.
5. What is a myth?
Summary
In not more than 30 words, summarise the ways stated in the passage through which HIV and
AIDS can be spread. (5 marks)

# The distance between the tip of the thumb and the little finger is called the span.
# The single step taken when walking is the pace.
# Ben's span measures 15cm.
# Ben measured the length of the chalkboard in spans and found out that it is 20 spans.
# Therefore, to calculate the length of the chalkboard in metres, you firstly multiply 15cm by 20
spans to get 300cm.
# 300cm is the length of the chalkboard in cm.
# Divide 300cm by 100 and get 3m.

AGENTS OF WEATHERING
# These are factors responsible for weathering to occur.
A : Running water
# When it rains, water will flow.
# When it rains heavily, the water that flows will be having a lot of power.
# The power will force some rocks or stones to be moved.
# As they move, they rub against each other (abrasion) resulting in them breaking down into
smaller particles to form soil.
C : Temperature changes
# When temperatures are high during the day, the rocks expand and when they become low
during the night, the rocks contract.
# This act causes rocks to peel off or to become weak and they break.
D : Animal hooves
# When animals move over some small stones, the action of hooves causes the rocks to breaks.
E : Tree roots
# When roots of trees grow between cracks, they cause the rock to enlarge and widen.
# Pieces of rock fall down as the roots grows bigger.

Dear Liberty
I am sure you read on the internet that our warriors won the COSAFA tournament in the
National Sports Stadium. I wish you were there to witness the match in which our team
outplayed the Chipolopolos.
Our triumph over Zambia made every Zimbabwean proud. The Legendary Peter Ndlovu scored
the first goal, followed by Agent Sawu who scored two consecutive goals, allowing the team to
lead the Zambians by three goals to nil. Our Zimbabwean goalkeeper was never troubled at all.
No goal ever passed him until the match ended.
Zimbabwean flags were waved all over the ground with the song ‘’ yave nyama yekugocha’’
being sung by the joyful spectators. Indeed we were made proud.
Your friend

Change comes with acceptance and rejection. Technology has its own benefits as well as its bad
aspects.
Technology enables tasks to be done easier, quicker and conveniently. Work that was supposed
to be done manually can now be done by machines. In hospitals, lives are being saved through
the use of technology. Learners can now learn in the comfort of their homes online. Technology
enables the storage of information for future use.
However, technology has brought job insecurity to workers. There is also a danger of being
addicted to gadgets. The use of machines is complex to illiterate people. Information stored can
be manipulated or edited thereby changing its originality.

Patrick has heard about Great Zimbabwe at school and he has seen pictures of the fine stone

Totems help people identify their relatives. ln other words, people who share the same totem are
related. A great sense of pride is shown by people as they speak highly of their totems. This is
called self-esteem. It seems everyone rates their totem best. Since people of the same totem are
considered blood relations, marriages between such two is regarded as taboo. When such mishap
occurs, the elders help the two perform a ritual of cutting blood ties known as kuchekaukama in
Shona. A person must not eat his or her totem. The bird(Shiri) would not consider birds as food,
thereby reducing the danger for the birds from humans. This promotes the conservation of
resources.

*John's adventure*
John settled down to enjoy the car ride into the park. They passed zebra, giraffes and all kinds of
buck but they did not stop.
" Do we only stop when we find lions?" asked the driver. The young man nodded. For an hour
they bumped along rough roads, as they searched all the places where lions might be. John began
to think that all the lions had left the park but soon, the driver slowed down.
About twenty metres away from the stream, there was a small thorn tree. The driver pointed to it
and smiled with satisfaction as he said, "There is the biggest male lion in the park." The lion lay
asleep, or half - asleep, in the shade of the tree.
"Look across the stream! There is his mate," whispered the young man. "She has got her family
with her too. Look there!" his finger shook a little with excitement as he pointed. Three cubs,
each about the size of a full- grown cat, trotted along behind their mother.
