What is It !

As a 21st century learners, the changing world and global trends may influence or
affect you as a person and as a citizen. Every day of your lives, you hear information
from different sources. These information help you to become perceptive and widen
your perspective about something and anything under the sun. In some cases, you will be
forced to make decisions or make a stand about an issue or to judge the validity of the
evidence you heard from an issue. All those things have an implication in your daily life.
It will either make or break you as a person.
For you to be ready during these circumstances, let’s hone your listening
prowess by being familiar with the following terms:

1. Factual vs. Literary text

Factual texts inform, instructor persuade the reader or listener by giving facts or
information. The reader or listener wants to know something about a particular subject
so they should give useful information and focus on facts.
Examples of factual texts are news reports, interviews, recipes, records of history, and
instructions. You often heard news reports over the radio, or television, read them in
the newspaper or hear what happened from reliable sources. While reading or listening to
a news report, you are already activating your knowledge about the information.

Literary texts are pieces of writing that tell a story or entertain. They engage the
reader/listener to respond emotionally by using creative language to paint pictures through
words(imagery). They include nondramatic works with or without illustrations, published or
unpublished.
Examples of literary texts are fiction, nonfiction, manuscripts, poetry, dissertations, theses,
speeches, pamphlets, brochures, and advertisements .

Characteristics of literary text include characters, setting, plot(problem/solution), and


sequence. These characteristics help the reader understand who is in the story, where
and when the story takes place, what happens in the story, and how the events
happen(www.pdesas.org).

2. Persuasive text vs. Discussion Text Persuasive text/ writing offers the opportunity to
convince the reader/ listener to adopt a particular viewpoint or to believe in what the writer is
telling. It is designed to prompt the reader or listener to take a certain action. It is very
common in ad campaigns wherein they are marketing/selling a certain product and they are
convincing you to buy their product. Ads can also be used in several situations as well like
reminders or election campaigns Discussion text/ content also known as argumentative text/
content presents an issue surrounding a particular topic--usually one that is debatable and open
to arguments. In here, the writer needs to discuss both sides of the issue to make sure that you
researched and gathered enough information about the topic. To know if the information
presented by the writer is valid or not, you need to extract the supporting (pros) and opposing

(cons) opinions about the issue. Many writers use argumentative content to persuade the
readers or listeners to agree to their points of view. The information may influence you to
believe certain ideas and push you to take some form of action.

member of the family while the student listens to judge the validity of the evidence listened
to.)

Students Should Not Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phones To School (Excerpted)

Mobile phones can cause a distraction in education. They can disturb teachers and
students. For example, if you were working hard on a piece of work, concentrating hard, and
a person’s phone rings, it disrupts the whole class. You may become side-tracked or the
teacher may be interrupted during speaking to the class. Thus, teaching would be constantly
disrupted if this kept happening. Thus, education standards would deteriorate. Looking then
at long term effects, if this was happening everyday, you would be wasting five minutes a
day, so nearly half an hour a week, and so that would be over ten hours a year of
disruption. Also, mobile phones provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can
communicate to almost anywhere and anyone in the world. Because they are small, students
can quietly and discreetly send a text and it can go unnoticed. You got to school to
learn, not to waste time playing games or cheating in tests. Research has proven that frequent
use of a mobile phone can put the owner at risk of long-term health damage. Mobile phones
have radiation in them which they send out which can destroy or damage cells. Thus,
a student who uses a mobile phone regularly is at risk of health damage. With the increased
usage and so the students are putting themselves at risk of more and more of health damage.
Also, younger students may not be properly educated on phone usage. Most phones nowadays
have internet access on them. Students can access sites which they should not see like
pornography.
