COMPREHESSION AND SUMMARY
1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
My name is Jane. I have a friend called Tunu. We study at the same school. Yesterday evening Tunu and I left for home together. On the way we found two big dogs fighting. We stopped and watched the fight for a while. Suddenly one of the dogs started running toward us. It looked very angry and we thought it would bite use. Therefore we started running. Tunu run faster than me, she reached the main road before me as and as she tried to cross it ,a lorry which was moving very fast knocked her down. “PoorTunu”! I exclaimed instantly.
Indeed. It was a very bad accident because she was injured badly. I didn’t know what to do because Tunu lay there bleeding and unconscious. I started screaming so that people could come and help me. A few minutes’ later people gathered at the spot. One of them was a traffic police officer. MrMwasile. He looked at her for a minute or so then ordered two men to rush her to hospital. Then, he asked me to go home and tell her parents about the accident.
This accident reminded me of my uncle who involved in an accident last year. In fact that accident he was among the few survivors. “Glory be to God”.

2. Write a summary of the passage below into five sentences
Mobile phones have the advantage that we can take the call almost anywhere instead of waiting at home for a phone call. However, they may have several disadvantages. secret Information may be accessed by unintended people through mobile phones and this may lead to break up of social relations and leakage of restricted information such as examinations. Youths may waste a lot of their productive time chatting with friends or playing games. Sometimes they may access information which will end up destroying them morally. Worse still the electromagnetic waves given out by phones can damage the brain.
