• The Department of Education, especially, its learners, teachers, staff, and all parents who
are part of our 27 million army of learners and 900,000 army of teachers are very pleased,
enthusiastic, and happy to participate in this launching of the World No Tobacco Day on
May 31st. This is a great occasion for us to remember that despite of the long years of
campaign against tobacco, the danger is still there. The technology for the communication
for convincing and capturing more victims are still there. Only we do not notice them at
all.

• I have a very personal commitment against tobacco. Three of my brothers past ay an early
age because they are smokers, they died from smoke related illnesses. Even when they
stopped smoking already, the diseases associated with smoking caught up with them
anyway. We have people who are close to us, friends close to myself, who are in 4 stages
of cancer, having heart diseases, lung diseases, and all sort of illnesses which may not
generally be associated immediately with tobacco smoking but can be traced to earlier of
smoking and prolonged smoking. Hence, my personal commitment to this campaign.
• I congratulate, therefore, our colleagues, the
Department of Education who have initiated this
campaign, all of us who participated and will continue to
participate in this month-long celebration. I also,
congratulate all other organizations who continued the
campaign who tell us not to forget, who remind us that
the danger is still there, who remind us that the enemy
has not left, that tobacco is as dangerous as ever and
insidious as ever and as deadly as ever. Thank you and
good evening.
The importance of applying the CASTS method to determine the worth of ideas in the listening text was
emphasized in this lesson. You can utilize the method to make simple inferences from the details
provided in the text, which is especially useful when summarizing the speaker's message. The formula
below can help you remember how to make inferences:
Day 3 ASSESSMENT

• Instructions: Decide whether each statement is TRUE or FALSE.

• 1. Context is the people who listens to the speech.
• 2. Summary covers the important points of the speech.
• 3. Listening to a text is easier to comprehend than reading the text.
• 4. CASTS method involves context, audience, speech, tone or mood, and
summary.
• 5. Inferences are derived from two things — details from the text and
your prior knowledge.
