Task 3 Lets talk ‘n Think about It!

What is Linear Text?

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end. Here, the
reader makes sense of the text according to the grammatical and syntactic arrangement of the
words. Moreover, this type of text has an order or sequence; it’s typically the author of the
text who decides the order of the text, or its reading path. Generally, texts printed on paper
are considered as linear texts. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational texts, all those
texts
we read from the beginning to the end, are linear texts.
 Figure 01: Linear Text

Linear text is the most common type of reading. It is the traditional method of reading
we are taught as children. However, linear text or linear reading is not always advantageous;
it may prove disadvantageous when you are in a hurry and need to find some information
quickly. This is because reading a linear text involves reading the whole text from the
beginning to the end, and it may take a considerable amount of time to find the specific
information you need.

What is Nonlinear Text?

Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it is nonlinear and
non-sequential. In other words, the readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential
manner in order to make sense of the text. This type of text has many reading paths since it’s
the readers who decide the sequence of reading, not the author of the text.
There are many definitions of the term nonlinear text. Most people consider texts with
visuals or graphs along with it as examples for nonlinear texts. Some examples include
flowcharts, charts, and graphs (ex: pie chart, bar graphs), graphical organizers such as
knowledge maps and story maps. In fact, any text that is not read from beginning to the end
falls into the category of nonlinear text. For example, consider an encyclopedia or a
telephone directory. We do not read them from beginning to the end; we skim through them
to obtain the specific information we need.
Figure 02: Nonlinear Text

It is also important to note that digital texts or electronic texts are also nonlinear
texts. These texts offer an array of constituents such as mobile and immobile pictures,
hyperlinks, and, sound effects. Here also, the reader can choose his own path of reading.

COVID-19 pandemic: How’s the Philippine ‘curve’?

By: Jovic Yee - Reporter / @jovicyeeINQ

Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:40 AM May 03, 2020
MANILA, Philippines — It has been almost two months since the country was
nearly ground to a halt by the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak
which has sickened close to 9,000 Filipinos, and health authorities are ramping
up tests to see whether the contagion has been contained.

Though the majority in the country had started to phase in to the “new normal,” it
remains to be seen if the worst is over and whether the government’s efforts have
been successful in containing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes
the severe respiratory disease.

ADVERTISEMENT
The Department of Health (DOH) is cautious about saying that it had “flattened
the curve,” acknowledging that there are limitations in the data available to the
agency.
As of Saturday, the DOH recorded an additional 156 infections, bringing the
national total to 8,928 cases. The number of recovered patients increased by 40 to
1,124. The death toll, though, rose to 603 with 24 patients who had succumbed to the disease.
Worldwide, more than 3.3 million are afflicted.

About 200 new cases daily

Over the last month, the reported number of new cases has stayed at around 200 daily. A spike
was seen only on April 6 when 414 new infections were reported.

Similarly, daily reported deaths during the same period was around 20, except on April 12
when the number rose to 50.

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire earlier said that there were “indications” the
epidemic curve was flattening. For one thing, she said, the case doubling time had increased
from three days to five days. That meant that it took more time for more people to be infected
than previously.

“But since we should be looking at one’s onset of symptoms, we couldn’t say yet that we have
flattened the curve. But we are improving in our case doubling time,” she said.

“It’s too early for us to say that we have already reached the peak of our cases. Remember, we
are doing expanded testing in different areas of the country and we expect the numbers to
increase because of that since we will be able to detect more cases,” Vergeire said.

According to Johns Hopkins University, a country is flattening the curve, or is able to control
the spread of the disease, when it is able to “reduce the number of new COVID-19 cases from
one day to the next.”

“This helps prevent health care systems from becoming overwhelmed. When a country has
fewer new COVID-19 cases emerging today than it did on a previous day, that’s a sign that the
country is flattening the curve,” it said.

ADVERTISEMENT

Factors to consider
According to Dr. Beverly Ho, the DOH’s director for health promotion and communication
service, they couldn’t categorically say that the curve had flattened.
That is due to several factors such as the gaps in reporting as well as the limited
capacity to test suspected cases, she said.

“Why are we so careful about it? It’s because we know the issues with the data. We know the
limitations. To call it as such would be irresponsible from our end. We don’t want to say it
because it might be scientifically inaccurate,” Ho earlier told reporters.

“But if you’re talking about if there are indications that it’s flattening, yes it is. We all want the
good news. It’s just difficult to say it scientifically,” she added.

Target daily tests

The DOH earlier targeted an average daily testing capacity of 8,000 by April 30.

The department, however, failed to meet its target. As of Friday, the 20 laboratories nationwide
it had accredited to do tests could only process a maximum of 6,420.

The highest actual number of tests being conducted was 4,907.

Vergeire explained that if they could conduct at least 8,000 daily tests they would be “able to
somehow correctly detect and see the actual picture” of the outbreak in the country.

Also, this would mean that more individuals under their expanded testing protocol could be
accommodated. Currently, priority is given to persons and healthcare workers who are severely
ill, and those who are symptomatic with preexisting ailments and belong to the vulnerable
population such as the elderly and pregnant women.

As the testing capacity increases, those with mild symptoms as well as the asymptomatics but
have been exposed to a known case or recently went abroad would also be tested. 
87% of cases in 2 areas
On Friday, Vergeire said 87 percent of the new cases came from only two areas—in the
National Capital Region (NCR) and Barangay Kalunasan, where the Cebu City Jail, the most
populous jail in the country, is located.

“The DOH is closely coordinating with the local government units to contain the virus in NCR
and in closed-setting facilities such as the jail in Barangay Kalunasan,” she said.

According to DOH data, more than half of the country’s 81 provinces have not reported any
COVID-19 case for the past two weeks.
These are: Agusan del Sur, Aklan, Apayao, Aurora, Basilan, Batanes, Biliran, Bohol,
Bukidnon, Camarines Norte, Camiguin, Capiz, Compostela Valley, Cotabato, Davao
Occidental, Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental, Dinagat Islands, Eastern Samar, Guimaras,
Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and Kalinga.

The others are: Lanao del Norte, Maguindanao, Masbate, Mountain Province, Misamis
Occidental, Negros Oriental, Northern Samar, Pangasinan, Quirino, Romblon, Sarangani,
Siquijor, Sorsogon, South Cotabato, Southern Leyte, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Tawi-

What I Have Learned

KEEP THIS IN MIND
Summary – Linear vs Nonlinear Text
Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end,
the reader makes sense of the text according to the grammatical and syntactic arrangement of
the words.It has an order or sequence. Texts printed on paper are considered as linear texts.
Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational texts, all those texts we read from the
beginning to the end, are linear texts.
Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it is nonlinear and
non-sequential. In other words, the readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential
manner in order to make sense of the text. Some examples include flowcharts, charts, and
graphs (ex: pie chart, bar graphs), graphical organizers such as knowledge maps and story
maps.
The difference between linear and nonlinear texts mainly depends on their reading
paths. Since linear texts have a sequential order, they have only one reading path. However,
nonlinear texts have multiple reading paths since they are non-sequential.

Brief History

The history of Palawan may be traced back

22,000 years ago as confirmed by the
discovery of fossils of the Tabon Cave Man
in the municipality of Quezon. Although the
origin of the cave dwellers is not yet
established, anthropologists believe they
came from Borneo. There are several
versions regarding the origin of the name
"Palawan". Some contend that it was
derived from the Chinese worl "Pa-Lao-Yu"
meaning "Land of Beautiful Harbors".
Others believe that it came from the Indian
word "Palawans" meaning "Territory". Still Click image to view a large Palawan Map
others say that it was derived from a plant
which the natives called "Palwa". But Philippine Travel Tips and General
popular belief is that, "Palawan" is a Informations
corrupted from the Spanish word "Paragua"
because the main island's shape resembles a
closed umbrella.

In ancient times, our Filipino ancestors have their own way of life. They don't
have their own houses.
They were vagabonds, they move from one place to another where they can find
an abundance of food.
Sometimes they live in caves. Others also build their dwellings on top of large
trees.
Part of the tribe building straw houses were Burnik and Paway. They were
united in just a year and Paway is carrying their first baby.
"We need to stop in a particular field somewhere. I am about to give birth so we
need a permanent place to stay," said Paway.
Burnik understood his wife so he went out and search for a place teeming with
plants and trees. He found a good spot which is also near the river so they can
easily fish.
From there, he built a small hut made of straw.
The harvests were plentiful during their stay. The place has the abundance of
fruits and fish to catch. As time goes by, Burnik sources of foods reached their
limit and finally got depleted.
One day in search of food, Burnik came to a meadow where plenty of grasses
have grown. The fruits of the grass were golden in color.
A native man from this place told Burnik to gather the grains of the grass and
pound it until the white fruit is revealed and add some water to cook. They
called it "palay" (rice in English).
Burnik was so filled with excitement, joy and happiness about it. Now they
certainly have a good source of food to eat.
He planted more of these palay (rice) and also shared and taught the other
natives how to multiply or reproduce it.
Until now, rice farming is the common livelihood of most Filipino farmers.

 What I Need to Know

In this lesson, you will work on exercises to hone your skills in scanning
in order to find specific information which contrast with skimming which is
reading quickly to get a general idea of meaning.
Scanning is another reading technique that use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes. You will
need to learn different ways and understand that choosing how to read is an
important step in building reading skills.
Scanning is also one of the important fundamental skills to be developed
in preparing research to find particular facts, to study fact-heavy topics, and to
answer questions requiring factual support and also to develop you as strong
readers.

YOUR OBJECTIVE

For you to follow the path of your journey, you will learn another useful
tool for speeding up your reading:

globally recognized natural attraction. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River

National Park, also commonly known as the Puerto Princesa Underground
River, was officially recognized as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in
2012. This gave tourists good reason to stay a while in the province’s capital,
instead of bee lining northwards to El Nido or Coron. Here, visitors enter a cave
aboard paddleboats directed by their personal guide. And inside they are treated
to an astonishing display of stalactites and stalagmites suspended above the

and was divided into two areas: one for the disease-inflicted, and the other for
its “healthy” residents. Many of Culion’s inflicted residents were torn away
from their homes and families and shipped off to what was then a completely
foreign island, never to return home again. And while the island today is
leprosy-free, reminders of its painful, isolating past still remain. There’s the
Culion Museum and Archives and all around town are historical structures from
its days as a leper colony, accompanied by information signage that take visitors
back to how life might have been like back then. Often overlooked, a trip to

Port Barton

Coconut on a beach in Port Barton, Palawan | Coconut on a beach in Port Barton, Palawan

This fishing village in the municipality of San Vicente sits almost

halfway between Puerto Princesa and El Nido. For some reason, its beautiful
beaches and islets aren’t nearly as popular as those of El Nido or Coron. So this
is one Palawan destination that still remains quite low-key. This is also perhaps
its strongest allure — that its sand and shores are still peaceful, and can still be
savored without the company of tourists docking one bangka after the other.
Aside from pristine island-hopping stops like German Island and Exotic Island,
Port Barton also has thriving reefs perfect for snorkeling and wrecks for
advanced divers.

For Palawan visitors who don’t have enough time to venture up north to
El Nido or Coron, the islands of Honda Bay, near the heart of the province’s
capital, are a good alternative. It’s about a half-hour drive from the city proper
to the Honda Bay port, where travelers can arrange their day-long island-
hopping tour. Stop at Starfish Island for endless encounters with – you guessed
it – starfish. Check out the picture-perfect sand bar that is Luli Island, which
recedes and emerges with the tide (the name is literally derived from Filipino
words which mean “sinking” and “rising”). And admire the flourishing reefs of
Pandan Island and their schools of colorful fish swimming about, extremely
close to shore. Set off on the tour equipped with a snorkeling set and you won’t
even notice time go by as you drift along Honda Bay’s crystal clear waters,
marveling at the wondrous world below.

TASK 3

 Scan the needed information stated explicitly and implicitly.

Text A. Directions: Read the selection carefully then answer the questions
by scanning the sample paragraphs for the answer.
Another benefit of being the eldest is that I have developed many qualities
that have made me a mature individual. Through experience, I have learned to
be responsible, dependable, and to be earnest as well. For example, my
parents would go out on weekends and leave my brothers in my care. They
believe that I can take care of my brothers at home. By putting their trust in
me, my parents have taught me to take full responsibility.
Besides my parents, my brothers also depend on me. They rely on me to
help them with their schoolwork as well as their problems in dealing with
growing up.
I have also learned to be earnest. Since I’m role model for my brothers, I
strive for the best in whatever I do. That is, I have to do well in school and
never give up on any task given to me, no matter how difficult it may be. At
first, I resented being the firstborn, but as I have become more mature, I have
realized that it has really strengthened my moral fiber-my character.
1. What two qualities has the narrator developed by being the eldest
child?
2. What the narrator realized by being the eldest child?
3. Are all the answers to the questions above found in the sample

paragraphs?

4. Does the paragraph explicitly or directly state the answers to the

questions?
However, based on your application of scanning skills, you also know that there
are other implicitly stated information which you cannot process. Whatever the
author has realized beforehand remains unsaid. Certainly, there are other things
that the narrator considers as part of the benefits of being the eldest. Since the
transition word you scanned indicates “another benefit “you can only wonder
what other benefit is. This is the implicit information you try to produce,
Now, read the following questions. Then scan the sample paragraphs again
for the answer.
5. Do the narrator’s brothers consult with her or him in accomplishing
their schoolwork?
6. Do the narrator’s parent spend all their days with their children?
7. Do the paragraphs give you the answer to the questions above?
 8. Do the exact words to the questions numbers 5,6 and 7 state explicitly
in the paragraph?
The answers are found in the paragraphs, but they are not explicitly
stated. They are implied. It can be deduced that the brothers consult with the
narrator in accomplishing their schoolwork. What statement or details lead you
to the answer? The statement they rely on me to help them with their
schoolwork is the answer to the first question.

‘App’ is a computer industry word that is short for

‘application’. It indicates the practical application of
computer software that is designed to perform a specific
task. A range of convenient apps is now available on
mobile phones and other mobile devices aroid the
world.
1. How many Android smartphones exist across the
globe?
2. Which program has over 450 000 apps available?
3. How much is the one-time registration fee for
Android apps?
4. In terms of commercial developers using the App
Store, what percentage are Android-based and what
percentage are Apple-based?
5. What percentage of 35–44 year olds played Angry Birds in the last 30
days?

What is It
 You learned about scanning. You scan for specific facts or details.
Here are some guidelines when scanning:
1. Scanning is reading a text quickly to find specific information figures or
names. It can be contrasted with skimming, which is reading quickly to get a
general idea of meaning. For example, when we are searching for a telephone
number in the directory, we scan the page for the name of the specific person
we are looking for. When we scan, we usually:
 have an idea what information we want from the text, and look for
content words or visual clues that signal that information.
 read in blocks of words rather than word by word.

2. Move your eyes quickly over the text or the selection until you come to the
specific information that you want.
3. If you remember that it is given in the middle or toward the end of the
selection, start your search there.
4. Concentrate.
5. After finding what you are looking for, stop and immediately write it down.
Then, move on to the next point.
Details can be stated explicitly and implicitly. It is explicitly stated when
the readers can read the exact words used in the text while implicitly stated
when the meaning is implied.

What is It

Task 5 READING TEXT

Find out from what source of information the text you are about to
read has been lifted.
Coronaviruses
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause
illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS).
A novel coronavirus (CoV) is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been
previously identified in humans.
Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet
cats to humans in China in 2002 and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to
humans in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in
animals that have not yet infected humans. As surveillance improves around the
world, more coronaviruses are likely to be identified.It depends on the virus, but
common signs include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath,
and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia,
severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Some coronaviruses can be transmitted from person to person, usually
after close contact with an infected patient, for example, in a household
workplace, or health care centre.When a disease is new, there is no vaccine until
one is developed. It can take a number of years for a new vaccine to be
developed.
There is no specific treatment for disease caused by a novel coronavirus.
However, many of the symptoms can be treated and therefore treatment based
on the patient’s clinical condition. Moreover, supportive care for infected
persons can be highly effective.
Standard recommendations to reduce exposure to and transmission of a
range of illnesses include maintaining basic hand and respiratory hygiene, and
safe food practices  and avoiding close contact, when possible, with anyone
showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
Health care workers are at risk from the Coronavirus if they come into
contact with patients more often than the general public WHO recommends that
health care workers consistently apply appropriate.
WHO encourages all countries to enhance their surveillance for severe
acute respiratory infections (SARI), to carefully review any unusual patterns of
SARI or pneumonia cases and to notify WHO of any suspected or confirmed
case of infection with novel coronavirus.
Countries are encouraged to continue strengthening their preparedness for
health emergencies in line with the International Health Regulations (2005).
