II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

English is a very rich language. Written works sometimes are confusing. Authors
and writers write for different purpose and audience.
An author‘s purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author‘s purpose
may be to amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize
a condition. An author writes with one of four general purposes in mind:
1. To relate a story or to recount events, an author uses narrative writing.
2. To tell what something looks like, sounds like, or feels like, the author uses
descriptive writing
3. To convince a reader to believe an idea or to take a course of action, the author
uses persuasive writing.
4. To inform or teach the reader, the author uses expository writing. An author‘s
purpose is reflected in the way he writes about a topic.
For instance, if his purpose is to amuse, he will use jokes or anecdotes in his
writing. Clues to an author‘s purpose may be found in titles, prefaces, and the author‘s
background
When someone makes a statement investing his strong belief in it, as if it is true,
though it may not be, he is making an assertion. Assertion is a stylistic approach or
technique involving a strong declaration, a forceful or confident and positive statement
regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it is without proof or any support. Its purpose is to
express ideas or feelings directly, for instance, “I have put my every effort to complete
this task today.”
Being asked about our reaction, we are likely either agreeing or disagreeing with
someone, or telling him what we think about something. It is important to know how to
clearly express your thoughts in an organized way so that no one misunderstands you (or
gets offended).
Sometimes, two or more people have the same opinion. In such cases, this is how
you express your agreement with them.

Yes, definitely!...
I feel the same way…
I agree with you…
That’s a very valid point…
I think what you said is true…
You’re right…!
 There may be situations when you disagree with someone on certain topics.That is
when you have to politely express your disagreement while avoiding an argument or
fight.You must make the listener realize that while you heard and understood what they said,
you do not agree and have a different opinion.

I see your point, but…

That’s a valid point, but…
But what/how about…
No offense, but…
With all due respect…
I understand, but I personally think/feel…

The Filipino is eminently suited to his romantic role. He is slender and wiry. He is
nimble and graceful in his movements, his voice is soft, and he has the gift of language.
In what other place in the world can you find people who can carry on a fluent
conversation in at least three languages?
This gift is another means by which a Filipino has managed to survive. There is no
insurmountable barrier between him and any of the people who have come to live him –
Spanish, American and Japanese. The foreigners do not have learn his language. He
easily manages to master theirs.
Verily, the Filipino is like a bamboo tree. In its, grace, in its ability to adjust itself to the

“Heal the World”

[Intro: Child]
Think about the generations and say that we want to make it a better place for our children, and our
children's children, so that they know it's a better world for them
And think, if they can make it a better place...
(Verse 1)
There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place, you will feel there's no hurt or sorrow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
[Chorus]
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
[Verse 2]
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, it only cares for joyful giving
If we try, we shall see
In this bliss, we cannot feel
Fear or dread, we stop existing and start living
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
To make a better world
Repeat Chorus

[Bridge]
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life?
 Would this Earth crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
