CHAPTER 4
MUTUALLY COMPLEMENTARY MATERIALS (SWAHILI)
| kupanda | Umepanda muhogo wako? | Have you planted your cassava? |
| Bado sijapanda. | Not yet, I haven't. | |
| kupeleka | Umepeleka kalamu yako kwa fundi? | Have you taken your pen to the repairman? |
| Bado sijapeleka. | Not yet, I haven't. |
The replacement begins:
| Mwenyekiti amechaguliwa? | Has the chairman been elected? |
| Bado hajachaguliwa. | He hasn't been elected yet. |
The team concluded that, while the new drills are not particularly brilliant, they at least are no less so than the originals were. There appears, then, to be no reason at this point why the newspaper items should not be suitable for dealing with a random series of structure points. Further exploration of Swahili vocabulary may be carried out using such questions as:
| Viongozi wa chama ni nani? | Who are the officers of the organization? |
This question will elicit answers like the words for president, committee member, public relations man.
| (Mwenyekiti) hufanya nini? | What does the (chairman) do? |
Answers to this question will enable the student to talk about the principal duties of the various officers.
