 What’s New

Do you have a pet at home? Most of the children today, like you, enjoy having
a pet. Let us read this excerpt to know more about the value of having pets.

It’s Great to
Have a Pet!

Whatever kind of animal you may want to have, pet ownership can be
an adventure. May it be a dog, cat, bird, or anything you like, it will surely
add color to your life.

During this COVID19 pandemic, a furry friend can also keep you
company through stress or loneliness. This may be why adoption and
fostering of pets became a trend recently.

Owning a pet can help reduce the stress you are feeling amid the health
crisis. According to studies, spending time with your pet can trigger an
increased level of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone." This is
responsible for the feeling of closeness and increased bonding with your pet.
Surely, pets can improve anyone’s mood!

Having a pet can improve your mood.

What kind of statement is this? Is this an opinion or a fact?

Yes, you are right! This is a statement of opinion.

Do you agree with the informed opinion that having a pet can improve one’s mood?

What pieces of evidence were cited to support such opinion?

What is your stand on this informed opinion?

4
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 What is It

An informed opinion is a person’s belief, idea, or way of thinking about

something based on information gathered. This type of opinion is formed by gathering
ideas from different points of view.

Example: Having a pet can improve your mood.

A stand is a person’s attitude towards a particular issue or opinion. A person’s

stand may either support or contradict an idea expressed in an informed opinion.

Example: Owning a pet can help reduce stress you are feeling amid the
health crisis. According to studies, spending time with your pet
can trigger an increased level of oxytocin, also known as the "love
hormone."

Making a stand means making a firm position in defense or opposition of an

informed opinion. You need to support your statement by providing evidence like
proof or testimony based on facts.

Below is a guide in making a stand:

Study the informed opinion. Look for possible sources from which the
author’s view was taken.

To carefully analyze the author’s opinion, you may consider the following
1 questions:

1. Is the source of the informed opinion reliable?

2. Are there bases like proofs or facts that support the author’s
opinion?

5
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 Decide on your stand. After studying the informed opinion, it is time
for you to decide whether to agree or disagree with the author’s
statements. Your decision will depend on your judgement, feelings, or
even from your personal experiences about the topic. However, you
must remember that though you are free to choose a stand, the proofs
or facts you have gathered must always be your bases in making a
stand.

The sample flowchart below will guide you in deciding on your stand:

Start Study the informed

opinion
Owning a pet reduces stress.

2
No Yes

No Yes

6
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 Present your stand. State your opinion based on your stand on the topic.
Explain why you agreed or disagreed with the informed opinion that was
presented. Enumerate your reasons to support your point of view.

Study the example below:

a. Your opinion:
I agree that owning a pet reduces stress.

3 b. Reasons:
I am a pet owner too and I have experienced it.

I felt lonely during the series of lockdowns brought about by the

pandemic. I missed playing with my friends outside. I am glad that
whenever I feel sad, my pet cat would always brush her body on my
legs. It tickles and makes me laugh. She always cheers me up.
Truly, having pets makes you happy!

Provide evidence. Support your stand with pieces of evidence you have
gathered. Present facts, proofs, and bases to show that you are certain
about the side that you have taken.

I have gathered testimonies from my friends. We all have the same

experience. Our pets uplift our mood and keep away the stress we feel.
4
According to an article from HelpGuide.org, pets, especially dogs
and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness,
encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular
health.

7
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 What’s More

Making a stand means giving your opinion on a topic or an issue and

expressing your beliefs and feelings about the topic. In making a stand, you may
defend or go against something or someone because of an informed opinion. Present
your stand in a way that you convince your audience or readers. Now, let us read the
paragraph below:

Owning a pet can help reduce stress you are feeling amid the health
crisis. According to studies, spending time with your pet can trigger an
increased level of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone." This is
responsible for the feeling of closeness and increased bonding with your pet.
Surely, pets can improve anyone’s mood!

What I Have Learned

You are almost done with this lesson. Now, let us have a quick review of the
important points in this lesson.

An informed opinion is a belief, judgement, or way of thinking about

something based on available information. Making a stand means taking a position
for (defense) or against (opposition) an informed opinion.

To make a stand, you must understand well the informed opinion, decide your
position on the topic, and present evidence to support your statement.

Wow! You surely did great on recalling what you have learned! How about you
give yourself a tap on your shoulder?

8
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 What I Can Do

Are you now ready to make a stand in real-life situations? Of course, you are!

Below is a familiar poster we usually see in public places. What is your stand
about it? Answer the questions in two to three sentences. Write your answers on
your answer sheet.

1. What is the poster about?

What informed opinion is presented in the
poster?

2. Do you agree with the opinion being

presented? If yes, why? If no, why not?

given by the poster.
_________________________________________

4. Cite facts or evidence to support your

stand.

Now that you have identified the opinion and made a stand, you are now able
to express your viewpoint on issues that you may encounter.

 Assessment

This time let us determine how much you have learned from this lesson. Read
and analyze the topic below and decide on your stand.

Using Facebook can turn into an addiction. Social media is one

way how people in today’s world are connected with each other. Kids
are glued to their devices all the time. They use applications that
allow them to be connected with young people like them in other
parts of the world. These make them forget about other important
tasks because they are addicted to these internet applications.

What is your stand on this informed opinion?

Make a stand and support it with evidence.

Was it interesting? Sure thing! Now, you’re ready for our new lesson.

What is It

Let us dig deeper into our lesson. It is time for you to learn more about the
different terms related to presenting a coherent report.

Viewpoint is the way a person sees things, understands issues or

comprehends ideas from his/her own point of view or perspective. Differing
viewpoints also means opposing viewpoints.

Issues can be viewed from different perspectives. The positions of people

regarding an issue may be affected by the evidence found, researched facts, their
philosophy, or even their life experiences.

A report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a particular

purpose and audience. It generally sets out and analyzes a situation or problem. It
is a factual paper that needs to be clear and well-structured.

Presenting a report on differing issues might be a bit challenging, but if you

are familiar with the proper flow of a report, it is going to be a lot easier!

Here is the basic structure of a report:

Element Explanation

Title The title and purpose of the report is presented in this part.

defined in this part.

headings such as ‘Definition of the Issue’, ‘Presenting Different

 One of the most important elements of a report is coherence. What is
coherence and why is it necessary in presenting a report?

Coherence is achieved when the sentences and ideas are connected, and they
flow together smoothly. A coherent report helps readers to understand clearly the
ideas presented in the report. Below are several methods that can be used to achieve
coherence in writing:

Can computers replace teachers?

Technology plays a great role in education. Nowadays, most of the schools
invest in Information Communications Technology (ICT) equipment like
computers. (Those, These) devices are one of the most used tools in school by
teachers during their classroom instructions. (It, They) can operate with extreme
wide range of tasks with programs installed in it. (But, Also) are these enough to
replace teachers?

17
CO_Q3_English 6_ Module 1
 Machines, just like computers can work 24/7 with good maintenance on
them. They are easy to use and come in handy. If connected to the internet, all
information are just on the tip of a finger. (However, Moreover) education is
not just about learning facts and data. It is a lifetime process of facilitating
learning, acquiring knowledge, and continuously attaining of goals. Unlike a
memory-limited computer, teachers can do immeasurable things for their
students. (For instance, But) teachers dedicate themselves in encouraging their
learners to do best and realize what they are capable of doing. Also, they inspire
students to be successful in their chosen careers. Teachers give children purpose
and drive them to do well in life.

(To conclude, In addition) technology is a great tool in advocating

education. But still, no machines like computers can replace a teacher. It simply
takes a humane commitment to be one.

Great work, dear learner! How did you find this activity? Yes, you are right! It
has indeed deepened your knowledge on making a coherent report.

What I Have Learned

Now, let us sum up what you have learned in this lesson. Try to remember
these ideas while reading them aloud.

What do you mean by differing viewpoints?

Differing viewpoints mean opposing point of views.

What is a report?

A report is a factual paper and it needs to be clear and well-structured. Its

basic parts are title, introduction, body, conclusion, and references.

How can you make a coherent, comprehensive report?

To make the report coherent, follow these suggestions:

 Use repetition to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs.

 Use transitional expressions to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs.
 Use pronouns to link sentences.
 Use synonyms to link ideas and create variety.
 Use parallel structures to link ideas, sentences, and paragraphs.

Hooray! Did you learn a lot? Of course, you did! I am happy for you!
