NOW I KNOW | A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO READING
Activity 5.1
Direction: Read each passage carefully and summarize with one or two sentences only.
1. Concealing your imperfections just to please others affect your mental health. Sometimes we try
to show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we
could not please everyone and we shouldn’t try. The beauty in us lies in our vulnerability, our
complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections. When we embrace who we are and decide to
be authentic, instead of who we think others want us to be, we open ourselves to real relationships,
real happiness, and real success.

2. Whatever happens today and every day must be considered as manuscripts of God’s message of
faithfulness to each of our lives. Let us remain faithful and grateful to HIM and stop worrying
about worldly challenges that most of the time consume our energies and positivity. God is bigger
that all the struggles we face in life. He was…is…and will always be.

3. It is aptitude that will bring you to the top, but it is attitude that will keep you there. It is good
attitude that serves as foundation to good manners and right conduct. Hence, to discriminate the
working class by putting them to the lowest level while elevating or regarding yourself too
esteemed is gruesome and petrifying. Having a boss does not make you a lesser person even if you
are extremely intelligent and skillful in that sense. Especially when you are working in the richest
institution of the country ---no less than the government.

4. It is good attitude that will keep you humble especially if you are a nouveau riche and famous.
Humility should remind you that material wealth is nothing and you are just a speck in this entire
universe. Aptitude goes beyond spelling correctly the English words or computing quickly
difficult math problems. It is also thinking critically and speaking wisely. Similarly, good attitude
is not just possessing good behavior. It is a predisposition or a tendency to respond positively

NOW I KNOW | A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO READING towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual choice of action, and responses to challenges and struggles in life. At all times, look at the mirror and say to yourself, “I am beautiful because I possess both attitude and aptitude.

  1. Nervousness affects different people in different ways. Perhaps you feel that your hands and knees shake uncontrollably as you speak in public. The people sitting next to you may not ever experience those symptoms of nervousness, but they may have difficulty breathing comfortably and feel that their voices are shaky and quivery. Whatever your individual responses to stress, don’t wait until you are delivering a public speech to discover them.
    ______________________________.
  2. If you know that your hands shake when you are nervous, don’t hold a sheet of paper during the speech; the shaking paper will only amplify the movement of your hands and will telegraph this sign of nervousness to your audience. If your voice is likely to be thin and quivery as you begin speaking, take several deep. Slow breaths before you begin to speak. If you get tense before speaking, try some muscle relaxation techniques: tense your hands, arms, and shoulders, and then slowly relax them. If you get flustered before speaking, make sure you arrive on time or even a little early—never late. If looking at an audience intimidates you, talk to audience members before beginning your talk, and when you start to speak, look for friendly faces in the audience.

NOW I KNOW | A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO READING Activity 5.3. Trying summary technique with nursery rhymes. These children rhymes taught to us are just for mouth delivery and for entertainment, but they actually carry with them serious or interesting message that relate to life. I learned all these in Children’s Literature. Check on some of them below. A. Humpty Dumpty Sat on the wall Humpty Dumpty Had a great fall. All the King’s horses And all the King’s men Couldn’t put Humpty Together again. Message: An egg fell and was irreparably broke. Direction: From the message cited, think of a life’s scenario, experience, problem or observation that you can relate in just 10-15 sentences.

Up Jack got and home did trot, As fast as he could caper, And went to bed to mend his head With vinegar and brown paper. Message: A boy fell, hurt his head, and cured the wound by himself. Direction: Again, do as you were directed in rhymes A and B, but this time focus your write- up on your experiences within the school campus.

Twenty points shall be earned for completing the task; otherwise, you will only get 10 points. Sustainable development emerged as a concept in the early sixties when the ruthless industrialization in the developed countries started showing visible signs of natural degradation and problems of pollution and ill health. Sustainable development became a wholesome word after the Brundtland Commission Report of 1987. It has three fundamental principles of inter-generational equity and justice, intra-generational equity and justice, and that of the respect for the carrying capacity of land. Since the definition given by the report fails to define the processes underlying the complexities and contradictions within which international decisions are taken, the industrialized and the less- industrialized countries have defined the term to suit their own requirements. However, there is a basic value inherent in this concept which everyone agrees to and that is respect for human needs only in relation to the environmental capability to support the largest number of people to the longest possible time frame.
