 "HEAL THE WORLD"
Michael Jackson

There's a place in your heart

And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there

If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living

Make it a better place

For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world…

Activity No. 3 Title: Main Idea of a Text Day: 3

Key Concepts:

Main Idea of a Text

- is the central or most important idea in a paragraph or passage
- is often found at the beginning of a paragraph or passage
- is also found in the concluding sentences of a text
- it maybe stated in the first sentence of a paragraph and then be repeated or stated at the end

Example:

the forest rangers. Rangers who spend their summers as fire-fighters will tell you that every thundershower
brings several bolts of lightning to their look-out stations."
- Notice that the underlined sentence tells what the paragraph is all about.; the sentences that
follow support the idea stated in the first sentence, therefore, the Main Idea in this text is
found at the beginning of the paragraph.
Activity No. 3
Instructions: Identify the main idea presented in each short text. Write your answer on the blank provided.

1. Man is a social being. Every day, he/she interacts with others in the community. He meets
different persons in every necessity in order to survive. Students go to school and learn from their
teachers. Parents go to office and work with their officemates. Drivers pick up passengers. Vendors
sell their merchandise to various costumers. An individual encounters different people everyday.
Thus, a person should learn how to mingle with others in positive ways so that people would
establish healthy relationships among themselves.

3. Teaching is the noblest of all professions. A teacher has a sacred duty to perform. He does the
responsibility of molding the character of young children. Apart from developing their intellect, he
can inculcate in them qualities of good citizenship, remaining neat and clean, talking decently and
sitting properly. These virtues are not easy to be imbibed. Only he,who himself leads a life of
simplicity, purity and rigid discipline can successfully cultivate these habits in his pupils.

4. Penicillin is one of the greatest of the wonder drugs. It has saved thousands of lives already
and will save many more in the future. Unfortunately it has no effect at all on most of the ills of
mankind. Penicillin is a very good drug , but is certainly not a cure-all.

5. Sunlight is free and abundant. In fact, if it could be efficiently controlled and directed, the
sunlight that reaches the earth would supply more than enough solar energy for the whole planet.
Scientists are finding ways to harness the sun′s rays to generate electricity , that will cook food,
purify water, and furnish air-conditioning. They have even developed solar furnaces hot enough to
melt steel. Not all the problems involved in capturing solar energy have been solved, but scientists
are certain that in the future, they will be able to devise efficient ways to collect and store energy
