1. How the Heart Works
The heart is at the center of
the circulatory system, which
is a
network of blood vessels
that delivers blood to every
part of the body.
Blood carries oxygen and
other important nutrients that
all body organs
need to stay healthy and to
work properly. It is a muscle,
and its job is
to pump blood throughout
the circulatory system. It is
divided into two
separate pumping systems,

1. Eyebrows are part of the
face which serve two
purposes- for beauty and
protection. Eyebrows make the
face more beautiful by calling
the attention to the eyes. They
make the eyes look healthier
and brighter. Eyebrows do not
only beautify the face but also
protect the eyes from
sweat. Without the eyebrows,
drops of sweat may run into
the eyes and blur the sight.
Sweat itself is a waste product
and should be rid
of. _____________________

Purpose of an Informational
Text: using enumeration as
its structure. Enumeration is
a process by which the
writer is listing details or
mentioning words or
phrases. It is a technique
used by an author in writing.
Whenever an author writes a
text, paragraph or line, he
has many reasons. There
Time order presents ideas
according to the time in which
they occurred. The major
supporting details are
arranged in a sequential order
according to when they
happened or should happen.

Informational texts offer facts, it
seeks to be truthful, objective and
precise. There are five common
text structures used in
informational text: description,
sequence, cause and effect,
compare and contrast,
and problem and solution.
Informational text seeks to
uncover information about a
subject area and educate the
reader about a specific topic.
are three main purposes.
These are to persuade, to
inform and to entertain.
1. The author writes to
persuade because he wants
you to believe on what
you read.
Examples of texts written to
persuade include essays
and ads.
2. The author writes to
inform because he wants to
give an information of
a topic. Examples of texts
written to inform include
encyclopedia and
textbooks.
3. The author writes to
entertain because he wants
you to enjoy what you
are reading. Examples of
text written to entertain
include stories, poems, and
dramas. Here is a good
example of a paragraph that
uses Enumeration as a
technique in organizing the
author’s ideas. Read the
selection below and tell
its purpose.
If you want to form a strong
relationship with your dog,
try playing

and if everything goes well
your dog should do
most of the fetching. Just
find something that your dog
wants to retrieve, such
as a stick, a thick rope tied in

timelines
This is an example of time
order used in a story.
The Three Little Pigs
There were three little pigs
who left their mother’s house
and
decided to live on their own.
First, the youngest piglet built
his house
out of straws. Then, the middle
piglet built his house out of
woods.
While the two siblings were
resting in their houses, the
eldest piglet
built his home out of bricks.
Later, a wolf who wanted to
eat the pigs, came by and
asked them to let him come in.
The two pigs refused, so
the wolf decided to blow down
their houses. On the same
day, the wolf came to the
eldest pig's house but the
house was sturdy that he
couldn't blow it down. He
decided to climb the chimney
and finally he fell into the pot
of boiling water.
Transition words like first,
then, while, later, and finally
were used to indicate the
proper order of the events in
the story. These words act as
bridges to link the sequence of
events in the story and helps
the reader to better
understand the connection
between the events.
This is an example of time
order used in giving directions.

Today, let us talk about
comparison and contrast
When we compare and contrast,
two or more things are described
and their similarities and
differences are discussed. To
compare means to find
similarities while contrast means
to find differences.
Read the excerpt of an article
below.
COVID-19, which is caused by
the new coronavirus, has been
dominating the news lately.
However, you may have first
become familiar
with the term coronavirus during
the severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS) outbreak in
2003. Both COVID-19 and SARS
are caused by coronaviruses. The
virus that causes SARS is known
as SARS-CoV, while the virus
that causes COVID-19 is known
as SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19
appears to transmit more easily
unlike SARS. One possible
explanation is that the amount of
virus, or viral load, appears to be
highest in the nose and throat of
people with COVID-19 shortly
after symptoms develop.
Common symptoms of COVID-19
are fever, cough, fatigue
shortness of breath while the
symptoms of SARS-CoV are
fever, cough, malaise, body
aches and pains, headache and
shortness of breath.

attention, throw the object as
far as you can. Be
careful not to throw it
anywhere that you wouldn’t
want your dog to go, like
the middle of the road or

Hopefully your dog will bring
the object back to you.
When he or she does, praise
your dog and command
him or her to drop the object.

task. All you have to do is:
first, measure the desired
amount of rice and put the rice
in a bowl. Next,rinse the rice
until the water turns clear.
Then, transfer the rice from
the bowl to the inner pan of the
rice cooker and add the
correct amount of water. After
adding water, place the pan
inside the rice cooker. Finally,
plug in your rice cooker and
turn the cooker on.
A step by step procedure on
how to cook rice was used in
this example. Transition words
were used to help us follow the
correct order of the procedure.
These are other examples of
transition words that we can
use to show order: Before

This is an example of time
order used in showing a
timeline.
Timeline of the Presidents of
the Philippines from 1986 to
Present
In this example, a timeline is
used to present the list of
1. How is COVID-19 similar to
SARS?
 Both are caused by
coronaviruses
2. What are the differences
between COVID-19 and SARS?
 Well done! SARS is caused by
SARS-COV while COVID-19 is
caused by a new strain of virus
called SARS-COV 2.
 COVID-19 is transmitted faster
unlike SARS.
3. What similar symptoms do
COVID 19 and SARS patients
show?
 Fever, cough and shortness of
breath are similar the symptoms
of COVID-19 and SARS.
4. What unique symptoms does a
COVID 19 patient display?
 A COVID-19 patient feels
fatigue as opposed to what a
SARS
patient experienced.
5. Does the paragraph compare,
contrast, or both?
 The paragraph presented both
similar and contrasting ideas.
6. What helped you distinguish
the similar and contrasting ideas?
 The italicized words in the
paragraph are called signal
words.
The words however, while and
unlike are used to signify a
contrast in idea while the word
both signify similarity or the
comparison of ideas.
In addition, when you compare
and contrast you need to use
signal words. The words such as
similar, both, just as, in common,
also, comparable alike, likewise,

correspondingly, in comparison,

way indicate comparison while
the words, unlike, despite,
otherwise, in contrast, on the
contrary, although, even though,
on the other hand, as opposed to,
whereas, instead, different, differs
from, in spite of, and however
signify contrast. Notice how the
author compare and contrast
COVID-19 from SARS.
Let’s use the Venn Diagram
below to better understand the
selection read and the concept of
involving comparison and
contrast.
When you compare things, you
point out what they have in
common, or how they are the
same. Just like in the illustration,
we can easily tell the similarities
between COVID-19 and SARS.
Both diseases are caused by
coronaviruses. They also have
similar symptoms like fever,
cough and shortness of breath.
Meanwhile, when you contrast
things, you point out how
they are different. COVID-19
transmits easier than SARS and
has distinct symptoms like
headache, malaise, body aches
and pains. Compare-and-contrast
writing helps readers get a deeper
understanding of the relationship
between things.

1. The ability of a building to
withstand the stress of an
earthquake depends upon
its type of construction,
shape, mass distribution,
and rigidity. Different
combinations are used. To
reduce stress, first, the
building's ground floor must
be flexible. One method is to
support the ground floor with
extremely rigid, hollow
columns, while the rest of
the building is supported by
flexible columns located
inside the hollow
columns. A different method
is to use rollers or rubber
pads to separate the base
columns from the ground,
allowing the columns to
shake parallel during an
earthquake. Next, the
outdoor walls should be
made with stronger and
more reinforced materials
such as steel or reinforced
concrete. Then, to help
prevent collapsing, the roof
should be made out of light-

Buddhists may sit on the
floor barefoot, facing an
image of the Buddha listen
to monks chanting from
religious texts, and take part
in prayers to elicit a spiritual
experience. The Theravada
tradition emphasizes
religious practice for monks
but minimizes its importance
for the laity. In Tibetan
Buddhist communities, it is
 common to use prayer
beads, wheels, and flags to
assist in prayer (mantras)
with the goal of becoming a
buddha oneself. Zen is a
form of Buddhist meditation
that rejects both theoretical
knowledge and the study of
religious texts in favor of
direct, experiential
realization through
meditation. At home,
Buddhists often designate a
room as a shrine where they
utilize a statue of Buddha,
candles, and an incense
burner in their ritual practice.

prayers required daily, none
of which can take
place without first cleansing
oneself according to an
established ritual
or ceremony. Sleep, work,
and recreational activities
take second place
to prayer. Fasting for the
month of Ramadan,
undertaking the
pilgrimage to Mecca at least
once in a lifetime, paying tax
for relief of
the Muslim poor, and
accepting Islam’s creed
require a serious and an
energetic commitment. On
