Dear Father,

I miss you and the family, but I am happy to be living here and serving Sir
Stephen. Castle life us exciting while I learn the skills and behavior expected
of a knight.
Many things are required of pages like me. My duties include serving Sir
Stephen and caring for his horses. I am also learning to fight with a sword
and hunt with a falcon. I often play chess and other games that require great
skill and strategy.
I can hardly wait seven years until I
am sixteen. Then, I can become a
squire. A squire serves his master as
a valet and is trained to become a
mounted soldier. He also exciting
thing squires do is to test their skill
in a contest, called jostling. In this,
one squire tries to knock down
another squire off his horse with a
long blunt lance.
My friend, Squire Robert, helps Sir
Stephen put on his armor for
contests and before a battle. Almost all of Sir Stephen’s body is covered with
this metal suit. When he is covered in armor, we cannot recognize him;
however, his coat of arms, a cross, is on his shield and his cloak.

I remain your faithful son,

Arthur

The Kalingas

One of the major groups existing in the Cordilleras of Northern

Luzon is the group of the Kalingas. The Kalingas are often described as the
“peacocks of the Cordilleras” because of the special attention they give to
their festive attire which they elegantly wear on such occasions as in their
dance.
The Kalingas, however, were known as vicious headhunters.
Headhunting was a way of life to them. Young neophytes were trained as
apprentices of the more experienced members, accompanying them to
headhunting trips where they acted as a watch out or a rear person; or he
would be ordered to kill a community member who had done a grave crime
that requires capital punishment. This ritual that they practice with the axes
and spears as symbols give them their status in their society. As economic
and legal career, headhunting could only be met by the bravest if the
members which gave them the acquisition of power.
Today, headhunting has practically ceased as a Kalinga practice
and though tribal wars still occasionally occur, there have been more subtle
ways of settling disputes. –From a 1996 calendar, “Filipino Heritage, the
Making of a Nation,” volume 2

MASTERING SIMPLE SENTENCES

Learning Competencies

EN4G-IVg-23 Use simple sentence: Compound subject + simple predicate

EN4G-IVh-24 Use simple sentences: Simple subject and compound predicate

LESSON GUIDE

To combine simple predicates to form compound predicates, study the example below:
(1) The store owner sells quilts.
(2) The store owner teaches quilting.
(3) The store owner repairs sewing machines.

(4) The store owner sells quilts, teaches quilting, and repairs sewing machines.

Sentences 1,2, and 3 are sentences with simple subjects and simple predicates (sells,
teaches, and repairs). On the fourth sentence, the sentence still shows simple subject but
now has compound predicate. This shows simple subject + compound predicate.

To form a compound subject and simple predicate, simply study the example below:

10
 (1) Danny watched the movie.
(2) Harry watched the movie.
(3) I watched the movie.

(4) Danny, Harry, and I watched the movie.

The first three sentences show simple subject and simple predicate. However, when the
simple subjects were combined in the fourth sentence, a compound subject was formed.
This shows compound subject + simple predicate.

Rhinoceros

In 1994 the African black rhinoceros, or rhino, was reported to be

facing extinction. Today, there are approximately 3, 000 black rhinos: in
1960s there were 65,000 to 100,000.
Rhino horn is used in Chinese medicine to reduce fever. This is why
the species is hunted and killed. In 1976, governments worldwide banned
trading in rhino horn, but his has not stopped the practice as it is extremely
lucrative. One kilogram of rhino horns costs about P588,000.
Some conservationists feel that legalizing the trade would cause the
price to drop and, therefore fever rhinos would be killed. However, others
disagree. They say that most poachers are extremely poor and would kill
rhinos even if the price of rhino horns was drastically reduced.
African governments have attempted to save the rhinos by legalizing
de-horning of rhinos without killing them. One doesn’t have to kill a rhino to
get its horn. Poachers however still kill the rhinos because it is easier to
dehorn a dead rhino than a live one.
Plants can save rhinos. Many plants have similar medicinal properties
to that of rhino horn. They may be used instead of the rhino horn.

one day he thought of a plan to amuse himself. He rushed toward his village shouting,
“Wolf! Wolf!”
The villagers came running to help hi nut when they realized there was no wolf, they
went home grumbling. A few days later the naughty boy tried the same trick and again the
villagers came rushing to help him. They were very angry, however, when they realized they
had been tricked the second time.
Just a few days later, a wolf really did begin prowling around the sheep. Of course
the boy set off crying, “Wolf! Wolf!”
But the villagers thought that the boy was lying again, so nobody came to his aid and
the wolf ate the boy’s whole flock. (Grolier’s Story a Day)

Story B The Wise Mamad Who Always Told the Truth

Once upon a time there lived a wise man called Mamad who never lied. The king
heard about him and decided to play a trick.
The king held his horse by the reins, place his left foot on the stirrup and told
Mamad to tell the queen he was going hunter. Mamad bowed and left. Then the king
laughed, and said, “We won’t go hunting and so Mamad will have lied.”
But wise Mamad went to the queen and said, “The king said he was going hunting
but I don’t know if he finished mounting his horse after I left.”
Then the next day the king told the queen, “The wise Mamad lied to you yesterday.”
But the queen told him what Mamad had said, and the king realized that the wise
man only tells what he has actually seen. (Grolier’s Story a Day)

of cardiac muscles which is an example of an involuntary muscle. Its
function is to pump blood to the different parts of the body.

Step 2: Make an outline.

I. The Heart (topic)
A. a hollow muscular organ located near the lungs and protected by the rib cage.
(subtopic)
B. the size of the fist (subtopic)
C. made up of cardiac muscle (subtopic)
D. it pumps blood to the different parts of the body (subtopic)
Step 3: Write a paragraph based on the outline.

The heart is a hollow muscular organ located near the lungs and protected by the
ribcage. It is the size of the fist. It is made up of cardiac muscle. And it pumps blood to the
