As you go along this lesson, the activities will let you measure your ideas and
beliefs. All these, while you learn the structure of an argumentative text.
Let us start with the essential vocabulary activity. Using a light-colored crayon,
highlight all 10 words that you think are connected to argumentative text.
As a teen you are naturally inquisitive and argumentative. When people advise
you to do things, your first instinct is to question or challenge the idea until you
convince them to think otherwise. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes not. One
reason is the structure of your argument.
Argumentative text is a reason or set of reasons given to convince others
that an action or idea is right or wrong.
The structure of the argumentative text is held together by the following:
1. Hook
Often found in the first part of the text, a hook is a sentence or group of
sentences that draw people into reading or listening to your argument. A
hook sparks a person's curiosity.
Example:
Who says mobile games are just a waste of time? These days,
online games are not just for fun and entertainment, but for virtual
interaction and socialization as well. Mobile Legends, for example, is
not just about choosing heroes and defeating opponents. It also allows
the app users to chat with other players from different countries all over
the world. They can also form groups and squads if they want
permanent allies in games and potential acquaintances in real life.
Thus, mobile games are not just for “smashing enemies” but for
winning friends too!
2. Claim

all over the world. They can also form groups and squads if they want
permanent allies in games and potential acquaintances in real life.
Thus, mobile games are not just for “smashing enemies” but for

Thus, mobile games are not just for “smashing enemies” but for
winning friends too!
However, some players spend more time using game apps than actual
meeting and talking to real-life friends. This often leads to neglect of relationships.
Answer the activities that follow to practice your knowledge and skill on
argumentative text.
Activity 1
Read the passages below. Write A if it is an argumentative text and NA if it is
not. Write your answer on the space before the number.
__________ 2. Discrimination. A word we all tend to shy away from, but which more
likely than not, we have either been victim to at some point in our lives,
or, whether we admit it or not, we have somehow been a perpetrator of.
It is undeniable, even today, the 21st century, that discrimination
exists. And in some corners of the world and some sectors of society,
much more prominently than others. In the same light, one may also
argue that in some areas, it is tolerated. In some countries, it is a result
of colonialism in the past, and the stigma that history has brought
about. Maybe it’s human nature to stereotype, or perhaps it is a result
of how we were raised.
__________ 3. Long ago in the kingdom of Aurora, there lived a prince who wore a
beautiful pearl necklace. People secretly laughed at him and some
openly mocked him.
__________5. Discrimination in society is alive and well. We just fail to address many
of them because we have decided to simply accept these. But that
should not continue. We should stop discrimination in all of society.
Easier said than done but ending discrimination can start by showing
respect to other people. We may disagree on certain issues, but we
should always respect one another. Respect goes a long way in making
a better society and preventing unnecessary conflicts.
A. For example, not all the guys in Middle East have bad
motives in sending messages in social media. How come there
are a lot of memes that feature them? And when a guy from
that area says “hi” in messenger, we instinctively block the
account.

Have you tried joining a debate team? Have you talked to someone about
truths and possibilities? Then, you are already familiar with the if clause or
conditionals.
Conditionals are used to speculate about what could happen, what might
have happened, and what we wish would happen. In English grammar, these
sentences are made up of an if clause and a main clause.
1. Zero Conditional
Example:
2. Type 1 Conditional
This conditional is used for real possibility. This is about the future. For
example, you plan to play tennis but the clouds are dark. It follows the
pattern:
Example:
3. Type 2 Conditional
This conditional is used for unreal possibility. It’s still about the future
but the chance is unsure. The pattern is:
Example:
4. Type 3 Conditional
Example:
If you had studied harder, you would have passed the exam.

Question: What is the most important lesson you’ve learned in your life, and
how would you apply it to your time as Miss Universe?
Catriona Gray: I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila, and the life there
is very poor and very sad. I’ve always taught myself to look for the beauty in
it, to look for the beauty in the faces of the children, and to be grateful. I would
bring this aspect as a Miss Universe to see situations with a silver lining, and
to assess where I could give something, where I could provide something as a
spokesperson. If I could teach also people to be grateful, we could have an
amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster, and children would
have a smile on their face. Thank you.

Jane’s Insights
1 Jane and Paula are cousins. They seldom see each other because of work.
But whenever they have time, they make sure they spend it well. If they go out, they
watch movies, play sports, attend forums, and a lot more.

case."
"If he didn’t die, there wouldn’t be protesters in the streets of United States"

"But if they had stayed home, the enforcers would have ignored the case,"

counters Jane.
“You’re right. O dear. I can’t believe this. It’s 2020 and there’s still racism?

COMMENTS
Now that you understand conditionals and you can already use it in
expressing arguments, it’s time for a bit of fun. Ready your materials for this simple
Science experiment.
Layers of Liquids
Did you know that some liquids mix and some do not?
This is a very cool way to learn about density!
Materials:
Tall clear drinking glass
A large spoon
Water
Oil, about 1 cup (vegetable works great)
Syrup (Karo works great)
Optional: Food Coloring
Paper Towels
Instructions:
The great thing about this experiment is that you can mix the liquids in any order,
but to begin with, this is our suggestion.
