So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any
other task, is to cultivate the peace of mind which does not
separate one’s self from one’s surroundings. When that is done
successfully then everything else follows naturally. Peace of
mind produces right values, right values produce right thoughts.
Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce
work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the
serenity at the center of it all.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
2.
With an artistic drama, we empathize with one or more of its
characters, but there’s also a distance between us and their
situation—a safety valve that allows us to express a range of
emotions, but also to say, “It’s only a movie,” “It’s only a play,”
“It’s only a novel.” Work is based upon problem solving, how to
eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for
work. We want day-by-day not confrontational trauma—even if
it would lead to life-changing revelation. But drama
exaggerates conflict, pushes situations to their extreme, and
leads us to a big turning point.

In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his
finger on the heart of Frost’s greatness: “His head carved out of
granite O / His hair wayward drifts of snow / He worshipped the
great God of Flow / By holding on and letting go.” Here’s an
example from part of one of Frost’s lesser known pieces, For
Once, Then, Something. In the first half he says friends rebuke
him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in
the water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It’s a
criticism that could be aimed at any writer, but what is as
interesting as the meaning of Frost’s reply is this sense of
movement that carries the reader forward to the climatic end.

5.From Beowulf
And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded
Herot, warriors coming to that hall
520 From faraway lands, princes and leaders
Of men hurrying to behold the monster’s
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with no sense
Of sorrow, felt no regret for his suffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his beaten
525 And lonely flight, to the edge of the lake

Where he’d dragged his corpse like way, doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.
The water was bloody, steaming and boiling
In horrible pounding waves, heat
530 Sucked from his magic veins; but the swirling

Surf had covered his death, hidden
Deep in murky darkness his miserable
End, as hell opened to receive him.
Then old and young rejoiced, turned back
535 From that happy pilgrimage, mounted their
hardhooved
Horses, high-spirited stallions, and rode them
Slowly toward Heorot again, retelling
Beowulf’s bravery as they jogged along.

For those who do not have the internet, I want you to read the informative text.
Conquering Stage Fright
Many people are gifted with different talents but most of them are just a part of the
audience on certain occasions. Their stage fright is the very reason why some are
not stage performers. It is normal to experience stage fright according to stage
performers. Actors and actresses believe that you can overcome your stage fright.
By changing your perception about stage fright and by following basic tips, you can
conquer it.
Try these tips to get you on stage without butterflies in your stomach.
Practice. Constant practice makes perfect. You have to trust yourself. Self-
confidence is the best way to control or overcome stage fright.
Talk to yourself. Instead of thinking that you will be forgetting some lines, or that
you will not be able to pronounce the words correctly, think that you will be delivering
flawlessly, that you have talents to show, and that people will appreciate your
extraordinary performance.
Visualize. Picture yourself on stage with so many people listening as you do your
part without committing a single mistake.
Practice with a small audience. After you have practiced your piece alone, you
may invite other family members or friends to listen as you rehearse. Or prior to
inviting other people, you may rehearse in front of a mirror for you to see the needed
improvements to your facial or body gestures.
Are you beginning to feel confident as the curtain is about to unfold? Are you
still nervous? If yes, don’t worry, that’s normal. Here are some suggestions to
overcome nervousness.
Yawn. Our body needs oxygen to keep our muscles relaxed. Yawning keeps our
tight muscles relaxed and breathing becomes shallow.
Stretch. Just like yawning, stretching also helps muscles relax. Do some simple
exercises like shaking your hands and feet, rotating your neck and your head, then
keep still until the spotlight hits you.
Focus on the first few lines of your piece. After you have delivered the first few
lines, you will notice that your nervousness is slightly disappearing.
Trust yourself. Keep telling yourself that you will not make the audience notice it.
After your successful performance, you will realize that you can overcome
6
your stage fright and face the even work to your advantage if you learn to overcome
it. After that flawless performance comes another until facing big audiences becomes
fairly easy.
After each performance and your audience is standing ovation acknowledging

your extraordinary performance, bow your head gently and be humble.

BAYOMBONG, NUEVA VIZCAYA—Vegetable farmers dumped tons of ripe

tomatoes on roadsides here and in nearby Ifugao province due to a glut in supply
and low market prices.
Small and medium-sized tomatoes were found abandoned along the roads in
Tinoc town in Ifugao on Tuesday, a week after tomatoes were also seen rotting on a
roadside in Bambang town in this province.
“The sorry sight of dumped tomatoes adds to the woes of farmers, who are
suffering from the impact of the quarantine,” Adrian Albano, administrator of Ifugao
Highland Farmers’ Forum, told the Inquirer by telephone on Thursday.
According to farmers, the low retail price of tomatoes would prevent them
from recovering their huge production expenses, as it would only cost them more to
transport the produce to buyers.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines’ confirmed coronavirus disease 2019

(COVID-19) cases surged to 20,626 as the Department of Health (DOH) reported
Friday an additional 244 cases.Meanwhile, 82 more patients have recovered from
the respiratory disease, bringing the total recoveries to 4,330.
The new reporting system has resulted in a massive surge in new COVID-19
cases in recent days. But the DOH said the spike in cases does not mean that the
outbreak is getting worse as it attributed the increase to the government’s increased
testing capacity and “aggressive efforts” to catch up on the validation backlogs.
Earlier, COVID-19 Response Deputy Chief Implementer Vince Dizon said the
government is now eyeing to include asymptomatic patients in its “expanded
targeted testing” program.
This came as he reported that the country’s rated testing capacity increased
to nearly 42,000 a day.
However, the DOH earlier said that daily actual tests done by all the
accredited laboratories is only around 8,000 to 9,000 as some testing centers face
operational issues.There are currently 52 accredited laboratories nationwide, of
which,
10
40 can use RT-PCR tests while the other 12 are testing centers licensed to use
GeneXpert rapid tests.

Making Connections to Your Schema
What Can I do
Enrichment Activity Activity 8 Community Services Brochure
The Community Services Brochure is your major output for this lesson. This
brochure specifically informs the public of the services available in your community.
As a form of informative writing, the brochure should present factual information and
details about any club, center or key persons offering services in your
barangay/community which you would like to feature. Other forms of informative
writing include letters, reports, speeches, review and instruction pamphlet.
The criteria for assessment will be: Focus, Content, Organization, Supports,
Visuals, Clarity and Language Mechanics. Here are some ideas which might help
you in the preparation and presentation of a Community Services Brochure. Keep
these points in mind as you go through the process.
Planning Stage
Think of a plan for the preparation of your brochure in which you can
communicate with your barangay but still following the social distancing technique
where the following points should be covered:
 You should create the simplest but presentable community services brochure you
can do but sill have all the essentials that a brochure should have e.g. pictures you
can make use, how to layout your brochure, what are the services in your barangay
that you will feature that you want other people to know etc.
 Identify the topic of your brochure.
16
 Clarify the main requirements of the brochure which are the topic, purpose, and
audience.
 Clarify the purpose of the brochure. Answer these questions: Who will be interested
to read the brochure? Who needs it?
 Identify the key persons whom you will contact in the barangay, clubs or services
that will be highlighted in your brochure.
Gathering Information
Before you gather information, be sure that you have secured a permission to
conduct an interview with the key persons, services or club you planned to feature.
 Look for the key persons in the barangay you can make contact with, clubs, or
centers, that offer services that make a difference.
 Prepare questions (interview schedule) and put them in a logical order.
 Call or visit and interview at least three (3) people to learn more about their services.
 Make a list of their accomplishments/achievements and specialization.
 Find out what they consider important to their success.
 Collect photos, drawings, illustrations, or videos (if possible) showing ordinary people
making a difference by performing their roles in life willingly and graciously.
Drafting
 Consolidate the information you have gathered, and choose what will be used in
your brochure.
 Use few, simple, short, catchy but meaningful sentences and captions
 Think of the order you will use to organize the factual information.
 Point out the help, support, and benefits the club, or key persons receive as well as
the specialization or services they offer.
 Explain the significance of the services to the target readers.
 Through speaking and writing, report the services and needs of the clubs or
organizations.
 Use photos and charts in the presentation.
Writing and Presenting

17
 Ask your teachers to read and evaluate your brochure
 Ask for comments and suggestions
 Look over the first draft and rewrite it.
 Polish your draft incorporating the suggestions made by your evaluators

Content Checklist:
 Contact information: This often ends up being the flap or the back of the
brochure; should contain all the ways your clubs or organization can be
contacted (names, addresses, phone number, email, web address)
 Mailing addresses: One of the outside panels of your brochure should have a
return address for your organization and a blank area where you can stick a
mailing label or write and address. Saves you the cost of envelopes!
19
 Front cover. This should contain your name, logo, and slogan, but not much
more. Keep it from getting too crowded and chaotic,but try to make the reader
interested in opening the brochure up and reading on.
 Features/benefits: This is usually the inside of the brochure. This part of your
brochure should tell a bit about what your program does and what the benefits
are to those who become involved.
 Action: What can the reader do? This could focus on how the volunteer can
pitch in and help the group or coalition, or it could focus on how the volunteer
can benefit from the services him/herself. You can include both, if you’d like.
 Elsewhere, if desired, a brief history of the organization, directions on how to

access or use services provided, how the organization is funded, or information
on the staff.
