What I Need to Know
What I Know
Natalie: Well, according to the news, since we are already in general community quarantine, people can now go out and do simple exercises like brisk walking, running, jogging, and even biking. Of course, you still have to wear face masks and maintain a physical distance from others. Leon: That’s neat. How about sports Nat? I miss playing basketball with our friends. Natalie: Sadly, the news says team sports like basketball are still not allowed. Also, according to the news, gyms will remain close to avoid possible spread of the disease. Leon: Well that is alright. Safety is our priority as they say. What is important is we can now do simple exercises to make us healthy. Anyway, Nat, do you want to walk with me tomorrow in the Riverpark? Natalie: Sure, but you have to be 10 feet away from me!
C. After Reading Activity Let us analyze the conversation between Natalie and Leon by answering the following questions:
We listen and read different kinds of materials for many reasons or purposes. One of these is to get information. It is perhaps the most common reason why we listen and read. _Why do you think we listen for information? What can we get from listening for information? ________________________________________________________ ___
What other examples of listening/reading for information activities can you think of? _________________________________________________________________________
What is It
Some of the common materials that can be sources of information are: a) news reports o world news, local news, police report, weather report, science and environment news, health news, entertainment news, business news, technology news, and many others
b) textbooks o information about the different subjects in schools
c) articles from different reliable websites o articles about different subjects in schools o articles about different human-interest topics (ex. food, fashion, music)
d) speeches o by the President, by the city mayor and other public officials or personalities
e) informative talks o TED talks, vlogs, podcasts (These three are available in YouTube.)
f) panel discussions o a panel or group of Filipino artists talking about Philippine art
g) interviews o interviews with experts, famous people, politicians, celebrities
Aside from these, what other materials can be a good source of information? What can be a good criterion in selecting materials as sources of information?
We often share the information we heard or read to others. We do this because we know that the information will be useful for them, or they will be interested to know about the topic. In sharing information, try to begin with a general statement to introduce your topic; this statement answers the question “What is the material all about?”. This is also called the gist. Then, provide the specific information or details. These specific information answer yes/no questions and the 5Ws/1H questions (who, what, where, when, why, and how). We should also explain how these pieces of information can be useful in our daily living.
What values are important to remember when sharing information to others?
member or a friend. Record the sharing of information. Then, send it to your teacher’s email address.
Activity 2.2: Reading Activity
Excerpt from “How to speak so that people want to listen” by Julian Treasure
The human voice: It's the instrument we all play. It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably. It's the only one that can start a war or say, "I love you." And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. And why is that? How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?
What I'd like to suggest, there are a number of habits that we need to move away from. I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking. I'm not pretending this is an exhaustive list, but these seven, I think, are pretty large habits that we can all fall into.
First, gossip. Speaking ill of somebody who's not present. Not a nice habit, and we know perfectly well the person gossiping, five minutes later, will be gossiping about us. Second, judging. We know people who are like this in conversation, and it's very hard to listen to somebody if you know that you're being judged and found wanting at the same time. Third, negativity. You can fall into this. My mother, in the last years of her life, became very negative, and it's hard to listen. I remember one day, I said to her, "It's October 1 today," and she said, "I know, isn't it dreadful?" And another form of negativity, complaining. We complain about the weather, sports, about politics, about everything, but, complaining is a viral misery. It's not spreading sunshine and lightness in the world.
Excuses. We've all met this guy. Maybe we've all been this guy. Some people have a ‘ blamethrower’. They just pass it on to everybody else and don't take responsibility for their actions, and again, hard to listen to somebody who is being like that. Penultimate, the sixth of the seven, embroidery, exaggeration. It demeans our language. And then, of course, this exaggeration becomes lying, and we don't want to listen to people we know who are lying to us.
And finally, dogmatism. The confusion of facts with opinions. When those two things get conflated, you're listening into the wind. You know, somebody is bombarding you with their opinions as if they were true. It's difficult to listen to that.
Treasure’s essay? Write two below. Do not copy directly, word for word, from the essay but use your own words in expressing the ideas.

Record the sharing of information. Then, send it to your teacher’s email address.

To enrich your learnings from this module, read the short text below and accomplish the activities that will follow.
The world in which you live is not determined by outward circumstances as much as it is by the thoughts that occupy your mind. You can think and believe your way to misery or to a life of joy, satisfaction, and abundance. You have the power to choose.
The concept of positive thinking is a philosophy, an expression of faith. It doesn’t ignore life’s problems, but explains a practical approach to deal with, and overcome, them. Anyone interested in seeking a better, promise- filled way of life, can find it through positive thinking and faith in God.
Consider the old truism that behind the darkest clouds the sun is shining. In the toughest situations there is always some value that is inherently good. The positive thinker will look for the good, for the advantage, and will therefore do far better with the difficulty than the negative thinker will. What you deeply think and visualize has a strong tendency to happen.
