6. Read the passage below carefully then answer the questions that follow:

Drugs are chemical substances that can change the way one thinks and works. People
use drugs to change their feelings. The most abused drugs are marijuana or cocaine,
heroin and alcohol. Drug abuse is common in almost all the developed and developing
countries. Billions of dollars are spent internationally for preventing drug abuse,
treating addicts and fighting drug related crimes.

Drug abuse causes multiple problems in countries and communities. Firstly, it causes
medical and psychological problems. It is obvious that addicts cannot function as
normal members of the society. They neglect or abuse their families and eventually
they require expensive treatment or hospitalisation. In Tanzania, especially in urban
areas, it is common to see teenagers who are not only weak but also sick. These young
men and women are so aggressive and they constantly break the law. In addition, they
are extremely violent as they easily get into physical fights. These Tanzanian addicts
pose a vivid example of the medical and Psychological problems faced by the addicts
all over the world.

The second problem caused by drug abuse is the increase of crimes. There are some
crimes which are either drug influenced or drug related. These crimes are petty or
organised ones. Drug addicts are likely to involve themselves into such petty crimes as
robbery, burglary and theft. They do so because they want money to buy drugs and
food. It is worth noting that most drug addicts are not employed. Drug dealers can
also organise themselves into criminal gangs which get money from drugs. Police and
legal resources are therefore needed to fight crime related to drugs or the crimes
influenced by drugs.

However, the threat of drugs can be fought successfully if some strategies are
employed. Education on drug abuse is the first way of combating the problem. People,
especially children, need to be educated at home or in school about drugs. People need
to be aware of drugs so that they can avoid using them. Also, families and counsellors
need to talk to children and people at risk. Parents need to take care of their children
and help them to become responsible citizens. Moreover, jobs need to be created to

 give people sources of steady income. However, effective laws should be enacted so
that the criminals can be caught and taken to the court.

Although the problem of drug abuse may seem impossible to eliminate easily, there
are concrete strategies that can be taken to weaken drug dealing in the society. The
danger of drugs is too great to ignore.
Questions;
a) Where in Tanzania is drug abuse mostly practised?
b) Who is a drug addict?
c) Why are drug addicts involved in crimes?
d) Explain the meaning of the expression, “Multiple problems.”
e) Give three ways of eliminating drug abuse

7. Make 5 sentences to indicate passive voice.

8. Imagine you are Mr. and Mrs. Kihongo Mwindu of P.O. Box 30054, Kibaha, with
