What’s In
We cannot move forward if we allow the past to pull
us back. Finger-pointing is not the way. That is why I
will not waste precious time dwelling on the sins of
the past or blaming those who are perceived to be
responsible for the mess that we are in and suffering
from.

a.2 point 2 with support
a.3. point 3 with support
WRITING PATTERNS
1. Chronological order. Author/ writer used this
pattern to explain how things happen in order.
Useful transitions:
First, to begin, to start, initially, second, next, also,
then, at last, finally.
1. Chronological order.
Example:
This morning was weird. My alarm clock was set for
PM instead of AM, so I woke up really late. Then, I
just threw on some clothes and ran out the door.
Next, I rode my bike as fast as I could so that I won’t
be late on my meeting.
WRITING PATTERNS
2. Cause and Effect. An action and its result(s) is/ are
explained.
Useful transitions: because, cause, due to, leads to, as a
consequence, as a result, so, thus, resulting to,
consequently.
Example: Due to COVID 19 a lot of people could hardly
sustain their daily needs. As a result, many of them are in
desperate situation.
WRITING PATTERNS
3. Compare and Contrast. Tells how two things are similar and
different.
Useful transitions: and, again, and then, besides, equally important,
on the contrary, by comparison, in contrast, similarly, in the same
way/manner, whereas, like, alike, unlike.
Example: Pandemic and epidemic are similarly used to describe
medical occurrence and outbreak. Pandemic is a disease that
happens throughout the world. Whereas, epidemic is a harmful
illness that affects a number of individuals within a community,
region or country.
WRITING PATTERNS
4. Problem and Solution. A problem and answer are suggested.
Useful transitions: as a result, because of, since, issue, problem,
consequently, solution.
Example: Obesity and poor fitness will decrease the life expectancy.
Overweight people are more susceptible to have serious illness
leading to diabetes and heart disease. The solution for this issue is
engaging in regular exercise and eating healthy food. The
government may also implement initiatives such as educating the
people about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
