Lesson Identifying Important
1 Details in Expository Texts

Listened to
Good listening skill makes you a productive learner.
Like reading, it is a skill that requires understanding
and comprehension. It is one of the communication skills
that learners should master.
This module contains activities that will improve your

listening skill to understand and interpret messages.
In this module, there are listening activities that
provide comprehension questions and interesting
exercises to lead you to identify important details in
expository texts you have listened to.
What’s In
Listening is not only hearing. Listening involves the

mind to understand what others are saying. Just like in
reading, listening also involves comprehension by
analyzing what is being said to you.
It includes knowing the significant facts to enable you

to answer questions about the texts you have listened to.
Sample questions can be:
 Who were the characters?
 Where did the story happen?
 When did it happen?
 What were some important events that took
place in the story?
 What did you learn from the story?
There are some questions that also require your

reasoning ability. Therefore, it is important that you have
to listen attentively to understand the important details in
every listening activity you will be doing in this module.
What’s New
Directions: Listen very carefully as I read to you the

following words.
frontliners nurse farmer

teacher doctor school
policeman soldier fisherman
These words are taken from the story entitled

“Frontliners” which I will read to you. Listen very carefully
and take note of the important details. Then, answer the
questions that follow.
Frontliners
by Mabelle A. Fababier
“Father will be here

anytime soon!” exclaimed
Kaiser excitedly as he woke
up early that morning.
“He can’t come home today,” Mother replied.
“But why? It is his day-off today,” he sobbed.
“Father can’t be with us for a while because he is a
frontliner. His commanding officer asked him to extend his
duty. He will be here next weekend,” explained Mother.
“What is a frontliner, Mother?” asked Kaiser.
“A frontliner is a person who works in our community
for a special purpose. Soldiers, along with policemen, like
your Father, are frontliners in keeping our country safe and
peaceful. Doctors are frontliners, too. They heal sick
people. Nurses, like Tito Emil, who works at President
Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Hospital, assist the doctors.
Farmers and fishermen who provide food on our table are
also frontliners. In school, teachers are the frontliners.
They encourage learners, like you, to do learning activities
needed for your education.
All of them help build our nation to be a beautiful
place to live in,” Mother told his son.
“I want to be a frontliner, too,” said Kaiser.
“Someday, you will be. Just study hard and soon you
will be a frontliner like your father,” Mother replied.
Directions: Study the pictures below. They are the
frontliners mentioned in the story. Can you name them?
Write the answers on your paper.
1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.
What is It
The story you have listened to entitled “Frontliners” is

an example of an expository text.
An expository text is a kind of written information that
explains. It is a mode of writing in which the purpose of
the author is to inform, explain, describe or define his or
her subject to the reader (Haitram, 2020).
The basic goal of expository text is to give
information needed to know by the readers.
Do you know why the story is an example of an
expository text?
Try to recall the important details stated in the story.
Remember, effective listening requires focusing on
the details of the text you are listening to.
Answers to wh -questions (Who, Where, When, What,
Why, How) are particular information you should give
attention to.
Focusing on ideas and key points will help you
remember facts necessary for comprehension.

being respectful which can be seen among young ones

shown by the little ones and adults to their elders. It is
done by putting the hands of the older person on their
forehead.
At work, workers slightly bow their heads to show
respect to their employers. The bowing of head is also
applicable in today’s new normal where physical
distancing is strictly observed to avoid the spread of
corona virus to show your greeting. So, everytime you
meet someone, young or old, make it a habit to bend
your head to show respect and courtesy to them.
