Listening involves more than just hearing


the words directed at us. It is an active process by
which we make sense of, assess and respond to what
we hear.

What are the keypoints of his speech?


How many times did you listen to understand its message?
Was the speech easy to understand?
Do you have some ways to understand the speech easily?

Speeches typically serve four general purposes. These are:

1. To Inform - provide interesting and useful information to your audience; for


example

• A teacher telling students about earthquake


• A travelogue about a tower in London
• A computer programmer speaking about a new software

2. To Instruct - the how-to-do-thing in your teaching; for example

• How to start your own blog?


• How to bake a cake?
• How to write a speech?

3. To Persuade - to convince people to change in some way: the way they


think, do or start doing something they are not currently doing; for example

• Becoming an organ donor


• Improving health through better eating

3
• Becoming a volunteer to change the world

4. To Entertain - provides pleasure and enjoyment; for example

• A speech on excuses for any occasion


• A speech on the things you would want to know about a certain animal or
person
• A speech on most embarrassing moment

Argumentative Essay

Let your parents read the essay aloud while you listen, and apply the techniques in
listening.

As online learning becomes more common and more resources and more
resources are converted into digital form, some people have suggested that
public libraries should be shut down in their place and everyone should be given
an iPad with an e-reader subscription. Proponents of this idea state that it will
save local cities and town’s money because libraries are expensive to maintain.
They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they have to
travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read
and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials
because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books; they can simply
rent out as many digital copies as they need.
However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets.
First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more
problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs book reading found
that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information and
understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same
information on print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has shown to
cause numerous health problems including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes,
headaches and eye strain, at much higher instances than reading print does.
People who use tablets and mobile devices excessively also have incidents of
more serious health issues such as fibromyalgia, shoulder and back pain,
carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle strain. I know from whatever I read from
my e-reader for too long, my eyes begin to feel tired and my neck hurts. We
should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people
more reasons to look at screens. Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded that
the only service library offers is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of
benefits, and many are only available if the library has physical location. Some
of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to
converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing
jobs, answering patron questions and keeping the community connected.
One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community
events such as play time for toddlers and parents, job fairs for teenagers and
meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third percent of residents reported to
have felt more connected to the community. Similarly, a Pew survey conducted
in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their
local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries
a way to connect with others and get their questions answered.

5
.
While replacing libraries may seem like a simple solution, it would
encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens despite
the myriad issues surrounding them.

Questions for Discussion:


1. What is the essay about?
2. What are the reasons cited by the writer why digital books and sources
cannot replace libraries?
3. According to the essay, there are disadvantages in using tablets and
other online sources. What are those?
4. What are the benefits of using the library instead of digital books?
5. What are your thoughts on this issue?

11. Alonzo winked at his mother’s shocked gaze and with a grip quipped,
“Sausage and pepperoni pizza for breakfast makes perfect sense. Allow me
to demonstrate. You have your tomato. Tomato is technically a fruit. You
have your cheese. Cheese is a daity product. You have your crust -
necessary carbs for quick energy in the morning, and don’t forget the
sausage and pepperoni - my protien. If you think about it, it’s just like bacon
and eggs, toast and orange juice.” Still grinnning, he added, “Really it is.

candidates. Write your congressional representative and express your
outrage!

do not function as well early in the morning.

Marilyn Monroe singing “Happy Birthday,” or Dave the macho builder,
swinging his hips and singing a medley of Madonna’s songs, but the most
memorable was George’s Cranium Doodle hint for architectural term “Flying
buttress.” It was well side-splittingly outrageous!

A. Entertain B. Inform C. Persuade D. Instruct

12
II. Read each selection and answer the questions that follow.

A.
Ripples of Energy

A wave is any movement that carries energy. Some waves carry energy
through water. Others carry energy through gases, like air, or solid materials. If you
drop a rock into a pool of water, a wave, or ripple of energy, skims across the pool's
surface. In the same way, an underwater earthquake can release energy into ocean
water. Then it carries a giant wave, or tsunami, across the surface until it hits land.
If you hear a clap of thunder, sound waves (or vibrations) have carried the crashing
“BOOM” to your ears. Sound waves speed through the air at about 1,100 feet (335
meters) per second. Light also travels through the air in waves. They travel at more
than 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second. So the light waves from a flash
of lightning reach your eyes before that clap of thunder reaches your ears! Electrons
travel in waves, too. They move back and forth in a solid wire, sending waves of
electricity, so you can turn on a light during the storm!

15. What is the author's most important purpose for writing the selection?

A. To persuade readers to throw rocks into the water


B. To entertain readers with the legend of Wally Wave
C. To teach readers how to use a surfboard to ride waves
D. To inform readers about different kinds of waves

16. Which question could best help someone figure out this author’s purpose?

A. Did the author give me information?


B. Did I learn how to make an electric light?
C. Did the selection make me feel sad or scared?
D. Did the author want me to make waves?

17. Which might also have been an author’s purpose for this selection?

A. To teach readers why people wave at one another


B. To inform readers about gravity and magnetic pull
C. To persuade readers to study more about tsunamis
D. To entertain readers with a little humor

B.
People who Need People

Everyone needs help sometime. Humans depend on one another. That's why,
communities everywhere have special people to lend a helping hand to anyone who
needs it. For example, what would our citizens do without a community fire

13
department? If a home catches on fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might
be destroyed and the inhabitants got hurt … or worse. We're so fortunate to have
trained firefighters to come to the rescue and put out the fire safely. If the fire
department hadn't come so quickly, the Jacksons might have lost everything. What
about our local police who protect our families, our homes, and our belongings? The
police have helped so many families this past year, especially rescuing people and
pets and protecting our property after the flood.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have
sanitation workers who collect trash and keep our community clean. We have road
workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix potholes in the streets to protect
not just us, but the tires on our cars, and where would this community be without the
teachers in our school and the doctors, nurses, and technicians in our community
clinics? We benefit so much from all these tireless workers who keep our community
running, but these services are expensive.

As citizens, we pay taxes, it's true, and some of the taxes go toward buying
the services we need, but today, there's just not enough money. Times are hard and
the economy has slowed. Plants are closing and people are losing their jobs and
homes, but citizens still need services! Many service workers are thinking of leaving
and going to other communities where they'll be paid a better wage, one that allows
them to support their families. They can't afford to live here anymore … and we can't
afford to let them leave. We need these people in the community. So, join with us
today as we petition for changes to our tax system that will allow our community to
keep more of the tax dollars to invest in service workers who live right here in the
community. Please sign our petition now, and be sure to vote for Proposition 6X1 on
Election Day!

18. What is the author’s most important purpose for writing the selection?

A. To entertain readers with an exciting story about a flood


B. To persuade readers to sign a petition about taxes
C. To teach readers how to use the new voting machines
D. To inform readers about what firefighters do

19. Which question could best help someone figure out this author’s purpose?

A. Did the author make me laugh?


B. Did the author teach me what to do in case of fire?
C. Did the author inform me about how to become a teacher?
D. Did the author want me to do something?

14
20. If the last paragraph had NOT been written, what do you think the author’s
purpose would have been?

A. To explain to citizens who the Jacksons are


B. To thank citizens for paying taxes
C. To remind citizens about the many available services they have
D. To inform readers about the dangers of pot holes
