EXPRESSING ONE’S BELIEFS AND CONVICTIONS BASED ON MATERIALS VIEWED
Belief vs Conviction
A belief is something that is considered correct and true. For example, a person can believe in
various things such as cultural or personal faith, morality, or values. It expresses viewpoints, but it is not
based on facts or other evidences. A belief is also an opinion, which is why it cannot serve as the basis
for a formal argument.
Beliefs are very personal ideas and cannot be rejected because they express an opinion. Also,
these beliefs are not mandatory to change completely with new experiences.
A conviction, is a bit different to a belief. A conviction is something that an individual is
convinced of. To be convinced, you need to obtain all the related information. Based on the information
that the conviction is built, a belief changes with time and new experiences, yet, a conviction remains
the same.
However, conviction is more complex than belief as it becomes a point of view of the world.
Basic Signal Phrases in Expressing Beliefs or Convictions
I believe… In my opinion… I think…

I feel… In my personal view… From my point of view…
These are signal phrases that express beliefs or convictions. Their intentions and purposes
would highly rely on the additional specific information as your source.

QUARTER 3 – WEEK 6
CITING TEXTUAL EVIDENCE
When we have ideas about what we read, we need to cite text evidence to support our claims.
Text Evidence
1. uses specific examples and ideas from a text to help support and further define your own claims
and ideas.
2. gives your words validity and strength.
General Statement
1. is a claim that needs to be proven.
2. presents the topic of a paragraph, essay or book.
3. usually expresses the main point or main idea of a piece of writing.
Example:
“The rain forest is home to many creatures. Monkeys, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals live in
the rain forest. Butterflies and anteaters also live in the forest.”
What is the general statement in the above selection?

“The rain forest is home to many creatures. “
 This is the general statement that expresses the main idea of the given paragraph.
This claim needs to be proven.
So, what is the text evidence that supports the claim of the general statement?
Monkeys, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals live in the forest.
 This sentence is the text evidence that supports the claim of the general statement. It
uses specific examples like monkeys, birds, reptiles and others to make the claim of the
general statement valid.
Points to Remember in Citing Text Evidence:

1. Read and understand the text thoroughly.
 It is important to read the text thoroughly so that you may be able to identify not only the main idea of
the text but also the specific details to support the main idea.
2. Identify the general statement or the main idea from the text you read.
 When you are able to identify the general statement or the main idea of the text, it would be easier for
you to cite or search for the text evidence to support your claims.
3. Go back to the text to find supporting statements to give your claims valid.
 Once the general statement is identified, that’s the time to look for some specific details from the text
that will support the general statement or idea.
4. Add the quotes to your response.

Mobile No.: 09171686099/09171358814
 Finally, add the quotes of the author or use your own words to relay the idea of the author to support
or explain your claim.
5. Remember, not all ideas are explicitly stated in the text. Sometimes we have to make an inference.
To do this, we use evidence from the text and our prior knowledge to understand the text better. This is
also called “to read between the lines.”
Example:
You are talking in the class while the class discussion is ongoing and suddenly your teacher
makes a frowning face.
Based from the text and your prior knowledge, it can be inferred that your teacher is angry with
you. (This is the general statement)
What evidence do we have about this claim?
You are talking in the class while the class discussion is ongoing . Your teacher is trying to
make a point in her discussion. Suddenly, she makes a frowning face . (This is the text evidence
through making inference.)
Few Examples of Citing Text Evidence:
Example 1
Religious gatherings represent Filipinos’ faithfulness to God. We may have different religions
but we commonly believe in one Supreme Being . Masses, processions, feasts of Saints, weddings,
baptisms are Filipinos’ best practices to celebrate life with God.
General Statement:
Religious gatherings represent Filipinos’ faithfulness to God.
Question: What religious gatherings that represent Filipinos’ faithfulness to God?
Text Evidence:
Masses, processions, feasts of Saints, weddings, baptisms are Filipinos’ best practices to
celebrate life with God.
Example 2

others. Someone who is capable of providing anything essential to others abundantly. In other words , I
dreamed to become a wealthy person to be able to help and provide something for others especially
the poor ones. I am only thirteen years old but I have this desire to help many people. My young age
frustrates me that I don’t have the capacity to provide what others need. I don’t come from a well-off
family by the way. It seemed that I am hopeless to become what I want to be.
General Statement:

Simple Ways to Avoid COVID 19

Ritchie C. Javier
Coronavirus brought hardship to all the people around the world. It really affects many lives
most especially the source of their living.
If we are going to observe our community during this pandemic,it looks like an obsolete society.
We suffer limited stocks of our daily needs since it’s not easy to furnish product because many people
are afraid to expose themselves and be infected with this virus.
For us to prevent the spread of virus, it is simple as washing our hands thoroughly with soap as
what we taught our children in school after coughing or sneezing, touching garbage and toilets.
Since coronavirus is everywhere and not easy to detect,Weshould wear facemask and follow
social distancing for us to beprotected all the time. Using alcohol and hand sanitizer is also effective in
dismantling the virus.
Because the virus spreads quickly,it’s important to disinfect things that are regularly touched
and used like doorknobs, remotecontrols, mobile phones, etc.
Coronavirusis highly contagious nowadays,so we must stay at home and avoid crowds
specially those who are unhealthy because this virus spreads through droplets produced when one
coughs or sneezes. Finally, avoid touching surfaces where the virus may stay. This is to protect the
vulnerable groups of our communityfrom contacting the disease.
