Self-Assessment Activity 2
We often tell statements indirectly by using descriptive words rather giving the exact
words. It is because either we do not want to offend a person or we would like the message
to be imagined vividly by the person we are speaking to. Revise at least two of the
statements below by creating mental images rather than purely telling it. Write your short
paragraphs in the box provided after each statement.
1. Nangangamoy ang anghit mo.

2. It’s Christmas time!

3. He is so tall.
