KISWAHILI KIDATO CHA KWANZA
MUHULA WA KWANZA - 2024
MUDA: SAA 1 ½
Jibu maswali yote kwenye nafasi zilizoachwa wazi.

Mawasiliano ni neno ambalo asili yake ni wasili. Wasili lina maana ya kufika kwa mtu, kitu, au
jambo fulani baada ya mwendo au safari. Kwa hivyo kuwasiliana kuna maana watu, kitu au
mambo kufikiana kutoka mahali.
Katika siku za jadi mawasiliano yalikuwepo lakini ya shida. Hata hivyo, watu waliwasiliana
kwa kutumia moshi, ngomezi au kupiga mbiu. Mbinu hizi za jadi zilitumiwa baina ya vijiji ili
kujulisha wanakijiji jambo la dharura au kuwajulisha jambo lingine lolote. Mbiu ilitumika kwa
jambo la dharura. Njia za kusafirisha mizigo zilikuwa haba. Baadhi ya watu walitumia
wanyama, kama fahali au farasi kukokotea mizigo yuao.
Siku hizi mawasiliano yamepanuka sana. Mawasiliano ya kisasa yanahusisha simu, mtandao,
televisheni na wavuti. Mawasiliano ya kisasa yamefanya ulimwengu wa kisasa kuwa kijiji
kimoja kikubwa.
Kwa kuzingatia maudhui haya, vyombo au njia kama redio, simu, waraka, ndege, meli,
motokaa na wavuti vimepewa jina la vyombo vya mawasiliano. Hivyo basi yafaa tutathmini ni
vipi vyombo au njia hizi hufanya kazi ya kuwasiliana na huwasilisha nini. Vyombo hivi
vinaweza kuelezwa chini ya vichwa vitatu; usafiri, mazungumzo na picha. Vyombo mathalan
baiskeli, ndege, meli na magari hufanya kazi ya kuwasafirisha watu kutoka janibu moja hadi
nyingine. Watu wanaposafiri huwa wanasafirisha mali yao. Bidhaa kama kahawa, vyuma na
mizigo mingine husafirishwa kwa meli, ndege na magari kupitia majini, hewani au barabarani.
Bandari, viwanja vya ndege na barabara zimeimarishwa ili kukuza uchumi na kuleta
maendeleo. Anayesafirisha bidhaa fulani na wakati huo anatakikana kukusanya nyingine,
inamlazimisha asiambatane na bidhaa hizo lakini ahakikishe zimewasili alikozikusudia. Hivyo
basi njia nyingine ya mawasiliano ilivumbuliwa.
Njia hii ambayo ni mazungumzo hutumia vifaa kama barua, simu, barua pepe na kipepesi.
Mtumiaji ataandika ujumbe na kuutuma kupitia shirika la posta au mashirika mengine ama
mtandao. Yamkini ilihitajika kuweza kujibizana na kuulizana kati ya watu hao wawili ndipo
simu ilipovumbuliwa na kumwezesha mtu kuzungumza na mwingine akiwa mbali sana. Watu
huzungumza na kufahamiana. Ilipohitaji mtu kukiona kitu anachozungumzia ndipo ilibidi
kuunda vifaa vya kuonyesha picha kama vile televisheni.
Ilikuwa fahari kubwa sana kwa Wakenya kuwasiliana na nchi ya Ghana wakati wa michuano
ya mpira ya kuwania kombe la taifa bingwa Afrika. Wakenya waliweza kuiona michezo hiyo
moja kwa moja ingawa kijiografia Kenya na nchi hiyo zina majira tofauti.
Page 1 of 4
Mawasiliano tuliyotaja ni vyombo vya ufundi vilivyoundwa lakini kunayo maswasiliano ya ana
kwa ana. Mwalimu na mwanafunzi darasani huwasiliana kutumia midomo, mikono, macho,
kichwa na ishara nyinginezo. Wanapofanya hivyo huwa wanaelewana.
Ndege kama kuku akihisi adui hufanya ishara au mlio fulani wa kutahadharisha viranga wakek
katika michezo. Mwamuzi huwasiliana na wachezaji labda kwa kutumia firimbi au kipenga,
kengelel au ishara za mkono. Kengele pia hutumiwa shuleni ili kuonyesha kukamilika kwa
kipindi au kuhitajika mahali pengine.
Kwa muhtasari, mawasiliano hutumia chochote ilimradi ujumbe utokao kwa mtu, kitu au
mahali fulani ufike panapotarajiwa.
