WORKSHEET 12
Paraphrase the following paragraphs. Do not forget to introduce the sources of information

1. The Marikina shoe industry is dying in a slow painful death – smothered by cheap Chinese imports, in
need of competitive modern technology and production methodology and starved of support. The
problem is compounded by the poor work ethics in the industry (Gutierrez, 2006)

2. Even in dealing with social and political problems, Filipinos resort to humor and merriment to cope
with worrisome situations. Political jokes go the rounds of barbershops, coffee shops, restaurants and
bars – any place where Filipinos congregate and socialize. When they feel almost powerless to cope
with a political problem, Filipino crack jokes. They can thus forget their misery and misfortune and go
on to face another day (Gutierrez, 2006).

3. In the realm of probabilities, this January 16-22 SWS survey is deemed passé, even useless as a frame
of reference for political wannabes. In short, as soon as the survey results are out, the next poll
configuration has dramatically changed. The only conceivable value of surveys is to “condition” the
minds of the voting public (Gutierrez, 2006)
