than a third. Furthermore, it is based on the writer’s experience or view in a day. Film review,

third person’s point of view. They may differ in format, but they are still the same opinion

ACTIVITY 8

We all agree that writing is a skill that has to be taught. The student has to develop an
interest in it no matter the circumstance. It is essential in assignment writing. Most importantly,
it comes in handy when the student is handling complex writing assignment, more specifically
academic writing. There are different levels of writing, and academic writing is one skill that not
many people learn. Writing a few essays in class does not mean that you have become a good
academic writer, nor does it make you one, for that matter. It goes beyond sounding
professional and comes with its own sets of demands, which include strict adherence to
instructions, the right academic writing tone, high-quality content and so on.

As such, every student must understand the importance that comes with academic
writing. Several aspects make academic writing important. However, we have first to
understand what academic writing is, before we can delve on its importance. For purposes of
clarity, academic writing is a concise, clear, focused, and structured piece of writing that is
supported by evidence. The main purpose of this type of writing is to help in enhancing the
understanding of the audience. It follows a formal tone and style, but it is not as complex as
many people would think and does not require the use of long sentences and complicated
English words.
 Every subject has its writing requirements, vocabulary, and type of discussion with
which you have to familiarize yourself over the course of your studies.

From a student’s perspective, writing may instead be a laborious and even dreaded
exercise of attempting to place thoughts on paper while developing mastery over the rules of
writing, such as spelling, citation format and grammar. According to Defazio et al, Whatever the
reasons may be, the bottom line is that the majority of students do not possess the skills necessary to
effectively communicate in a written format that will enable them to become successful upon
graduation. There is a significant need for students at all levels not only to be good written
communicators, but also to understand the importance of good writing skills. In addition, an important
facet of written communication is being able to critically assess the writing of others, particularly at the
graduate level as well as in professional programs.

ACTIVITY 9

It’s been almost a year since the WHO had declared the virus COVID-19 as a pandemic.
The said virus had caused a lot of death around the world, which is why the government
ordered for a lockdown in various places while some are under an enhanced community
quarantine. During the past months, only limited personnel are allowed to go out and buying
necessities should only be the reason for them to go out. If we will investigate some social
media sites, we could see various news about the updates regarding this pandemic, and some
information regarding anxiety and depression that a lot of people had been experiencing right
now. Some cases of anxiety and depression during this pandemic is due to the virus that has
been lurking around, while on the other hand some are experiencing these mental disorders
due to pending works or school mandated activities and personal problems.

According to the United Nation’s office of the secretary-general’s envoy on youth, there
are 5 things that the youth can do to join the global COVID-19 response. Firstly, follow simple
and routine World Health Organization WHO guidelines; properly wash your hands more often,
avoid crowded spaces, avoid handshaking, if you are sick wear a mask and seek medical
attention immediately. Secondly, educate your families, friends, and community; spread
community awareness online and offline. Unfortunately, fake news spreads so fast in times of
uncertainty. So be responsible. Verify every news and information before sharing. Be a source
of calm during this storm. Thirdly, volunteer and donate. Find a reliable charity to donate and
find opportunities to volunteer in your community. If there are older people or
immunocompromised people help them out. Help out vulnerable people in your community to
pick up their groceries and medicine. Healthcare workers around the world are called to work in
high demand and they might need your help looking after their children or looking after their
parents while they attend to life-saving work in clinics and hospitals around the world. Lastly,
hold the Government accountable; advocate for free testing, reliable information, paid sick
leave, investments in science and Universal Health Coverage.

REFLECTION

- My journey through this lesson enabled me to learn: the different purposes of an academic
text as well as how it is written and classified. According to the lesson, it is classified according
to the nature of information it contains; and it is written based on a certain format which
contains different text structures such as description, cause and effect, comparison/contrast,
order/sequence, and problem-solution.

- It made me realize that: it is important to provide evidence that would back up the academic
text because of its purpose which provide information, either to persuade or to argue.
Furthermore, I’ve also realized the importance of academic text. It could give utmost benefit to
the audience, spreading information based on facts could educate a lot of people.

- I therefore commit to: keep in mind the certain points regarding academic text, especially the
important ones such as its tone, format, structure, and evidence; because these are key points
that would definitely help a writer attain his/her objective in writing academic text, and if I
were to write one these would be beneficial for me.
