SECTION B: SAMPLE NARRATIVE COMPOSITION
Question 4: Narrate an incident when you were given
something for free but with strings attached.
A CLOSE SHAVE
“Alex, Jemimah, Bashir, Edgar and Connie, this is your
auspicious lucky hour. You have messages at the secretary’s,”
relayed the information minister. I was definitely blithe and merry
and as ambitious as the devil, I kept checking on the secretary but
she told me to hold on till evening since she had her hands full.
Finally, I received my message in the evening, a box meticulously
wrapped in a fine, sleek shining wrapping paper. I joined my
colleagues and we were homebound, having decided to open my
gift at home.
The day had drawn to its close and the goats were bleating,
roosters were crowing and our neighbour’s bull was bellowing.
The chicken were clucking and slothfully entering their coop.
Tired and scratched to pieces, I reached home and could not wait
to open and see what my gift had in store for me. Fastening my
bedroom door securely behind me, I unwrapped the box and what
I saw almost threw me out of my wits.
“Whaa-a-a-at? A brandy new Samsung Galaxy? Who on earth
could give me a gift that cost an arm and a leg?” I asked myself
a myriad of questions. It bore no name of the sender so I at first
developed cold feet about using the phone but later whistled in
the dark and convinced myself that fortune knocks once at every
man’s door and besides, my family lived from hand to mouth so in
no way could I dream of my parents buying me such a spectacular
item.
I was astoundingly gorgeous and eminent that both teachers
and fellow students worshipped the ground that I walked on.
Male teachers unconsciously did me favours and this threw
other students into fits of jealousy. They were undeniably green
with envy because teachers had a strong affinity for me and,
fortunately, I disapproved the stereotyping that beauty and brains
rarely reside in the same body. I had both. Due to those two
attributes, I was appointed class captain, which duty I performed
up to the mark.
It was time for the history lesson but the pedagogue, Mr. Okot,
was still attending to some parents in his office. Usually as class
captain, I was compelled to pick notes from him and read them to
the class whenever he was held up by administrative obligations.
“Thud, thud, thud”, I hurried to his office and knocked tenderly.
“Come in, Connie,” he said, making me wonder how he knew I
was the one. There was no one else.
“Were you expecting me, sir?” I enquired, forcing a smile. When
I saw the sensual glances he was throwing at me, I knew he had
something up his sleeve.
“Can I take the notes and read them to the class, sir?” I posed.
Without saying a word, he stood and came towards me.
“Sir?”
“Sh.h.h..”, he signaled me to keep quiet.
“Did you like the gift I sent you?” he asked erotically.
I was dumbfounded and tongue-tied! He asked me to calm down
as he had no ill intentions of harming me. He briskly closed the
door. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes fell on a mattress
behind his chair that was not easily visible unless you were so
critical.
“You see, Connie, I am head over heels in love with you. You
make my mouth water each time I see you,” he said, pulling
out a punnet of strawberries and putting one in my mouth. He
reminded me that one good turn deserves another so I needed to
appreciate him too. He warned me not to shout because he would
convince everyone that I was the one who had seduced him.
At this point, I knew I was in a quandary. My heart was in my
mouth. I had only my ingenuity and quick wit to save myself. I
had to act receptive and while he was engrossed in unbuttoning
my blouse, with all his five senses seemingly not functioning at
that time, a pepper spray in my skirt was my cat’s paw. I caught
him on the wrong foot and with all my might sprayed his eyes and
nose. He threw in the towel because I had cut the ground from
under his feet.
“You scoundrel, gutterpiece, nincompoop!” I growled at him.
“You need to respect the dignity and integrity of the girl-child.
Great oaks from little acorns grow. I want to be one of the world’s
greatest pathologists and nothing ought to jeopardise my dream,”
I gave him a piece of my mind.
He writhed in excruciating pain and pleaded with me not to
tell anyone.
“That was a close shave,” I said to myself as I sorted my hair,
buttoned my blouse and marched out.
When I shared the incident with my mother, she was grateful

ENGLISH LANGUAGE QUESTIONS (OEng008)
PAPER TWO
Read the passage below and answer the questions that
follow.
There are three kinds of education in Africa. There is the
old, traditional education; there are the remains of the colonial
schooling, which varied according to how the European power
saw African requirements; and there is the Post-independent
attempt to find an education suitable for the needs of modern
Africa.
The old education grew naturally out of the village and
tribal ways of life and there was much to commend it. A child
had to learn how to deal with the dangers of his surrounding
and how to treat his fellow. He knew about weather lore and
the skills of a spear, axe and hoe from old men. His mother
taught him correct speech, behaviour and respect for his
elders. Throughout his childhood, it was impressed on him
that he could not live alone – he must “conform”, and accept
the ways of the tribe. He lived in the world of Kinship: his kin
gave him security in sickness and old age. Law and ownership
of land, too, were based on kinship. So the child learned the
rites which kinship would demand throughout his life from
birth to maturity, marriage and death.
Much of this education was informal. The home was the
child’s school, where he learned traditional legends and
proverbs. This social education had a great emphasis on
correct conduct and confidence. A traveller in East Africa in
the 1930s wrote: “I have seen three children between four
years and six quite competently preparing a meal with no
supervision”. A boy was required to go to a lonely expedition
into the forest to kill a leopard with bow. Severe tests of
endurance were a more formal part of this education. Chagga

they are one and the same.
- They disregard the “small” but crucial differences
between people and races.
- They disregard the background of immigrants and that
of the host country.
- They treat immigrants with prejudice and
discrimination based on race.
2.2 Two examples of discrimination in the passage
- They refer and classify other people as coloureds.
- Denial of employment because of one’s race.
2.3 The writer stresses that people are different and deserve to
be treated differently. He recognises that there is racism and
discrimination but that it is not right to qualify any challenge or
problem one encounters as prejudice and segregation.
2.4 (i) This is because he had grown up used to a house with
small windows that are equally set high and needed no curtains.
(ii) The immigrants make a mistake of generalising all
challenges/hardships they encounter in foreign lands as colour
prejudice which may not always be the case.
- They also have high expectations of a warm
welcome in new places which may not be readily
given to them.
2.5 Meanings of words and expressions
(i) lumping together – uniform classification/indiscriminate
categorisation/ grouping
(ii) swept aside – disregarded/ignored
(iii) automatically – easily/ habitually
(iv) anguish – distress/extreme pain/troubles
boys in the old days had to sleep in holes in the ground at
night for nine months, often in the cold mountain air. Bena
girl, aged nine to thirteen, were ducked repeatedly in streams
or terrified by women pretending to fall dead at their feet, and
by the appearance of monsters.
This traditional form of education had the advantage
of preparing a child for life in the community. It did not in
general encourage him to be ambitious or independent or
teach him to meet the needs of the modern world. So in
the colonial years, mission and “European” schools taught
the kind of things children in Europe were taught. This
produced a small westernised elite in some colonies, but it was
severely criticised for having little to do with African needs.
Reading books had European birds and snow scenes in them,
arithmetic problems dealt with taps and wallpaper rolls. Few of
these things had anything to do with many African children’s
environment.
Colonial education too has been criticised because it was,
to quote prudent Nyerere of Tanzania, “Motivated by desire
to inculcate the values of the colonial society and to train
individuals for the service of the colonial state”.
In the post-independent era, African needs are being
rethought.
Questions are being asked such as, how many universities
should a country have, whilst half of an age group gets no
schooling at all?
Question:
In not more than 100 words, summarise the importance of
old education.
