What I Know

A. Read the article below then answer the questions that follow by choosing the
letter of the correct answer.

Online bullying remains prevalent in the Philippines, other countries

One in three young people in 30 countries said they have been a victim of online
bullying, with one in five saying they skipped school due to cyberbullying and violence,
according to a new poll released today by UNICEF, the United Nations organization
working for children’s rights.
In the Philippines, latest national data show that cyber violence affects almost half of
children aged 13-17. The prevalence of cyber violence for males (44 percent) is almost the
same for females (43 percent).
One-third of cyber violence experienced by Filipino children are in the form of verbal
abuse over the internet or cellphone, while a fourth are through sexual messages. More
females received messages of sexual nature or content than males. However, twice as
many males than females reported having their nude body or sexual activities, whether real
or falsified, shown on the internet or cellphone.
Violence against children, in all forms
including online bullying or cyberbullying, has
devastating effects on the physical and emotional
wellbeing of young people. This can create lasting
emotional and psychological scars, even physical
harm. It is particularly challenging to address since
children are vulnerable and have easy access to
the internet, making them easy targets of online
violence.

3
 In the UNICEF U-Report poll conducted in June 2019, almost three-quarters of young
people from 30 countries said that social networks including Facebook, Instagram,
Snapchat and Twitter are the most common platforms for online bullying. Being connected
online means that school no longer ends once a student leaves class, and neither does
bullying.
The U-Report further revealed that 32 per cent believe that the government is mainly
responsible in addressing online bullying, 31 per cent said that young people are
responsible, while 29 per cent said internet companies. These show that opinions are
equally divided on who should be responsible for ending online bullying – highlighting the
need to involve children and young people in the shared responsibility.
UNICEF is calling for urgent action to implement policies that will protect children and
young people from bullying – both online and offline. Addressing the problem requires
action from all of us.
Establishing and equipping national helplines to support children and young people in
reporting violence is a concrete step. Training teachers and parents to respond to and
prevent bullying will ensure the safety of children and young people, particularly the most
vulnerable ones.
Gathering better data about the online behavior of children and young people, and
how criminals are using the internet, will guide policies and action plans.
UNICEF is also urging social media and social networking service companies to
improve ethical standards and practices in collecting and managing information of children.

Editorial is an article in a newspaper or other
periodical or on a website presenting the opinion of the
publisher, writer, or editor.
Speech is a formal address or discourse delivered
to an audience.

What Is It

In order to write a good exposition, one should include key structural elements and
language features.

STRUCTURE OF AN EXPOSITION
There are three main parts to an exposition. Your writing will be clear if you follow this
structure.
1. Statement of position
Introduce the topic and make it clear what your position is. You need:
• a strong opening sentence that provokes your reader's interest or captures your
reader's attention
• an overview of your thesis (or argument) on the topic and the points you will
make

6
 Provide a brief outline of the key points to be covered by your argument. This gives
your reader a preview of where you are going to take them. This also enables you to show
the reader that your exposition is structured logically.
2. Argument
In this section you can make a number of points. Begin each paragraph with a key
statement or general statement. Give supporting reasons in the rest of the paragraph.
Then make a new point in the opening sentence of the next paragraph and give
supporting reasons, and so on.
3. Reinforcement of the statement of position
Sum up your argument. You could make a statement about what you see as a
solution to the problem or what might happen if the situation is not resolved. You could call
for some form of action from the audience.

LANGUAGE FEATURES
An exposition or argument includes particular language features. Aim to include some of
these features in your exposition.

FEATURE EXAMPLE

1. Conjunctions( or joining words) so, and so, because, therefore, if,

join one part of a sentence to and, but
another. They link the flow of the
argument
2. Modal verbs express the can, could, should, must, might
writer’s attitude to the topic

3. Evaluative language suggests important, best, most, truth, largest,

the degree of approval or helps more popular
compare ideas
4. Thinking verbs know, believe, feel, people think,
agreed
5. Transitional words link ideas in firstly, for that reason, for example,
an argument as a consequence, because of this,
in particular, therefore, finally

Don’t forget to use

these structure and
language features
on your exposition!

Independent Activity 2
Read the editorial below then answer the questions that follow.
Most bullied children
There is one other disheartening aspect of the global education survey in which 15-
year-old Filipino students ranked lowest in reading comprehension and second lowest in
mathematics and science. The results of the latest Program for International Student
Assessment or PISA also showed that Filipino students are among the most exposed to
bullying.
The PISA study showed that 65 percent of Filipino students, mostly in senior high
school, experienced bullying “at least a few times a month,” according to Sen. Sherwin
Gatchalian, who chairs the Senate committee on basic education. This is way higher than
the 23 percent average among the 79 countries included in the PISA survey conducted by
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Both victims and perpetrators of bullying,
according to the PISA study, show poorer academic
performance, tend to skip classes and even drop out of
school. The study indicated that students who reported
being bullied scored 56 points lower in reading
comprehension compared to those with little or no such
experiences.
The Philippines passed an ant-bullying law,
Republic Act 10627, back in 2013. It requires schools
from kindergarten to high school to implement
measures to prevent bullying.
Technology has made bullying easier. In February this
year, the United Nations Children’s Fund reported that cyber bullying, online violence and
digital harassment affected over 70 percent of youths worldwide, with girls at greater risk
than boys. The report was based on a study of one million people aged 15 to 24 years old
from over 160 countries.
The PISA study recommends direct intervention by bystanders to prevent bullying.
This, however, is difficult in the anonymity of cyberspace. UNICEF warned that victims of
cyber bullying are more likely to skip school, abuse drugs and alcohol, perform poorly in
academics and suffer health problems. Their low self-esteem can lead to suicide – an
increasing problem in Philippine schools.
The Anti-Bullying Act has recommended measures to address the problem. Various
quarters are also pushing for emphasis on Comprehensive Values Education in schools, to
include Good Manners and Right Conduct. This is a complex problem that needs urgent
solutions.

schools, to include Good Manners and Right Conduct. This is a complex problem that
needs urgent solutions.

countries.

Independent Activity 3
Arrange the editorial below according to the structure of an exposition. Rewrite your
answers on your answer sheet.
Bullying must be taken seriously
____ Student surveys consistently indicate young people realize bullying is a problem in
schools and online. Though high school, middle school and elementary school students say
bullying is a problem and agree that it is wrong to bully another student, it still happens, and
it happens way too often.
____ A national organization that has helped to lead the charge in anti-bullying
campaigns, NoBullying.com, has reported that at least 50 percent of teens have been
bullied online, according to the iSafe Foundation.
____ Like most things, the real solutions must begin in the home. When children have
parents and role models who act respectfully and treat others with respect they tend to, in
turn, show respect to others. They will learn those lessons in the classroom, at church or
through anti-bullying programs, but they must first learn those lessons in the home.
____ Bullying, in whatever form it takes, must always be taken seriously. When you just
look at the numbers, the amount of bullying that happens in our schools and online is
staggering. Anyone who says “kids will be kids,” just doesn’t understand the problem.
Young people have been damaged for life and some have taken their own lives as the
direct result of having been bullied by their peers.
____ According to the organization, about 10 to 20 percent of those teens are bullied on a
regular basis per the Cyberbullying Research Center. One-million children on Facebook
alone were harassed in 2011 as reported by Consumer Reports. DoSomething.org claims
90 percent of children in grades 4 through 8 have been bullied at some point. Safe
Foundation reports 35 percent of children have actually been threatened online, some more
than once.
