B. Learn
Today’s lesson will help you build greater understanding of what you
are reading by reflecting the speaker’s ideas in a text through its
content, feeling and meaning.
Reflecting Content
The most immediate part of a speaker's message is the content. It refers to the
aspects dealing with information, actions, events and experiences. The readers focus
on the content of what a speaker is conveying, including thoughts, ideas, beliefs, facts,
data, etc.
Reflecting Feelings
It involves expressing in your own words the essential emotions strongly implied in the
text either verbally or non-verbally. Its purpose is to bring vaguely expressed feelings
into clearer awareness.
A skilled reader will be able to reflect a speaker's feelings from verbal and non-verbal
cues. He/she has the ability to identify such feelings both from the words and actions
descriptively used by the writer such as body language, facial expressions, hand
gestures, and the likes.

Verbal Cue
“Our health workers should not bear the burden of deciding who lives and who
dies. If the health system collapses, it is ultimately our poor who are most
 compromised. In the end, winning the war against COVID-19 relies heavily on
being able to keep our health system capacitated to address the needs of all
Filipinos.”
This statement means that our health workers are overly exhausted due to the
weight of their jobs during this pandemic crisis and they begged for time out from
over working.
