Local Government Unit of
Tubod, Surigao del Norte

Dear Mayor Romarate,

This is an appeal to the appropriate government authorities take legal action against some of the
activities that have put the lives of our local wildlife at risk.
Humans are now in charge of causing environmental changes that harm animals and plant
species. Our dwellings and cities take up more space on the planet. We pollute the environment.
We hunt and kill animals without permission. Exotic species are introduced into natural
environments. All of these activities deplete plant and animal resources and habitats. As a result,
I'm reiterating the consequences of urbanization on the environment, which I believe should be
addressed and taken into account in your opinion.
Habitat fragmentation occurs as a result of urbanization, with larger continuous habitats being
separated into smaller unconnected pieces. It also contributes to habitat loss by increasing the
number of roads and buildings that do not produce any biomass. This puts wildlife under new
stress caused by humans. Physiological and ecological restrictions have a direct impact on
organisms, but they also alter host-parasite and predator-prey relationships. In certain ways,
urbanization is beneficial, but it must not come at the expense of the environment.
I appreciate you taking the time to think about it. I am delighted seeing the required changes for
a brighter future.

Sincerely,
Joana Jean B. Suyman

Dear Miss Salazar,

I attended your Career Planning Workshop at the Trace College Library on
December 15, 2018. Your presentation was just what I needed to organize myself.
Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your resume-writing guidelines,
the worksheet and the sample? Unfortunately, you ran out of the handouts before I
was able to receive one.

Sincerely,
Menard B. Bancajr
WHAT I CAN DO

“ONCE YOU LEARN TO READ, YOU WILL BE FOREVER FREE”

This quote reminds me of the importance of reading in our life. Frederick

Douglas' idea about reading and freedom has now become the basis as to whether
or not in today's time, reading can result in a positive or negative effect in our
lives. When we begin to read, we open up a world of possibilities for ourselves.
In the world of education, reading is the key to success in everything we do.
Reading is one of the oldest human occupations, and it is still practiced today.
Reading has been pushed through for many years already as it is claimed to be
one of the keys to literacy. Being literate can bring many positive impacts to our
personal lives as well as to the lives of others. It can help us understand a certain
concept as well as can discern properly what actions or decisions to make. Reading
is helpful in our everyday lives, most especially when our tasks involve tasks that
relate to words, comprehension, understanding, and decision-making. Reading has
already evolved from a privilege from before time to be a basic need to literacy in
today's generation. If before, only those that are in position or those that have
power and influence can be sent to school and be taught how to read, today, almost
everyone already knows how to read.

People especially parents have seen the importance of literacy and they are
passing it to the next generation, to their children. Now, this is one of the two sides
of the coin just yet. While there are a lot of positive sides to reading, there are also
some points that destroy a person through reading. One example would be the
inappropriate material that is exposed to a person. This can destroy his ideas and
views especially when the material has no basis. Another one is if reading leads
him to advance a negative cause that instead of leading to peace and harmony, the
world is being dragged to burden and negativities.

Reading is the key to success, and how far your future holds in education. The
experience of reading a good book makes you feel free, which I think is one of the
messages in this quote. This quote reminded me of how much reading a good book
feels relaxing. Feeling free to me means releasing stress and enjoying something.
When I am reading a good book I feel like I have escaped the world for just a few
chapters and I feel relaxed.

Indeed, the habit of reading is one of the best qualities that a person can possess.
Books are known to be your best friend for a reason. So it is very important to
develop a good reading habit. We must all read on a daily basis for at to enjoy the
sweet fruits of reading. It is a great pleasure to sit in a quiet place and enjoy reading.
Reading a good book is the most enjoyable experience one can have. And as what
Fredireck Douglas would say, “ONCE YOU LEARN TO READ, YOU WILL BE
FOREVER FREE”.
