 The word paragraph comes from two Greek words: para which means
“beyond” or “beside” and graphein which means “to write”.
 A paragraph is a collection of related sentences with one central idea. Each
sentence shows connection to other sentences in the paragraph.
 A paragraph is an independent unit or a related unit. As an independent unit,
it is complete in itself. As a related unit, it is a part of a composition that is
combined with other paragraphs to make a larger composition.
 Whether a paragraph is an independent unit or a related unit, it has its
beginning, middle and end.

A narrative paragraph simply tells what happened and establishes facts. It is

sharing of personal experiences that offer lessons and insights. It is more than
just a chronological sequence of events that happen to the different
characters.

Narration is the most common type of paragraph development. It has the

following elements:
1. Setting. It is the time and location in which a story takes place.
2. Characters. The life-giving element of the story.
3. Plot. It is the logical series of events in the story.
The five essential parts of the plot are:
a. Exposition. It is the part of the story where the characters and
the setting are revealed.
b. Rising Action. It is where the events in the story become
complicated and the conflict in the story is exposed.
c. Climax. This is the highest point of interest and the turning
point of the story.
d. Falling Action. The events and complications begin to resolve
themselves.
e. Denouement. The final resolution of the plot in the story.
4. Point of View. It is the perspective of the writer in narrating the story.
a. First person point of view . The story is told by the
protagonist or one of the characters using pronouns I , me ,
we.
b. Second person point of view. The author tells the story in
second point of view using the pronouns you , yours, and
your.

3
 Third person point of view. The narrator is not part of the story but
describes the events that happen. The writer uses the pronouns he, she
him, and her.

DOH records 36.6K Covid-19 recoveries, 23K new infections

MANILA – The number of new coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infections stayed
below 30,000 for the second straight day, with only 22,958 new cases recorded on
Wednesday.
In its Covid-19 bulletin, the Department of Health (DOH) said this raised the active case tally
to 270,728, lower than Tuesday's 284,458.
Among the active cases, 257,632 are mild, 2,970 are moderate, 8,335 are asymptomatic,
1,487 are severe, and 304 are critical.
Wednesday's fresh infections are also lower than Tuesday's 28,471.
Meanwhile, another 36,611 recoveries raised the recovery count to 2,969,853 or 90.2 percent
of a total of 3,293,625 infections recorded since the pandemic started in March 2020.
“Of the 22,959 reported cases today, 21,691 (94 percent) occurred within the recent 14 days
-- Jan. 6, 2021 to Jan. 19, 2022,” the DOH said.
The regions with the most cases in the past two weeks were the National Capital Region
(NCR) with 7,861 or 36 percent of new infections; Region 4-A (Calabarzon), 4,647 or 21
percent; and Central Luzon, 2,049 or 9 percent.
The death toll is now at 53,044 with the addition of 82 new fatalities, representing 1.61
percent of overall cases.
Of the 82 deaths, 56 occurred in January 2022 (68 percent), eight in October 2021 (10
percent), 15 in September 2021 (18 percent), one in July 2021 (1 percent), one in May 2021
(1 percent), and one in January 2021 (1 percent) due to the late encoding of death information
to COVIDKaya, the DOH said.
The data as of January 17 show that about 43.5 percent of the 62,532 who were tested have
turned out positive for Covid-19.
“About 91 duplicates were removed from the total case count as 64 of these are recoveries,”
the department said.

Meanwhile, 32 cases previously tagged as recoveries were reclassified as deaths after
validation.
All laboratories were operational on January 17 but six were not able to submit their data to
the Covid-19 Document Repository System.
The DOH said the six laboratories contribute, on average, 1.5 percent of samples tested, and
1.9 percent among positive individuals based on data in the past 14 days.
To date, 49 percent of 3,700 intensive care unit (ICU) beds, 51 percent of 20,300 isolation
beds, 53 percent of 14,300 ward beds, and 23 percent of 3,100 ventilators are used by patients
with Covid-19 nationwide.
Meanwhile, 53 percent of 1,200 ICU beds, 48 percent of 4,900 isolation beds, 60 percent of
