I. Let Us Connect
Read and reflect!

Every time you open your TV, radio or your mobile phone, you get to expose
yourself to different types of spoken texts that sometimes impress you and sometimes
make you react positively or negatively.
A spoken language has 3 basic elements. The first one is Word. It refers to a
sound or
combination of sounds that conveys meaning and is spoken or written. The second
element is Grammar. It is the set of rules that explain how words are used in a
language. A speech or writing is judged by how well it follows the rules of grammar.
Lastly, is Speech Writing. It is the art of writing a speech for public presentation.

II. What Should You Know/Learn

In this lesson, you’ll learn about the features of spoken texts and how to
formulate sentences in spoken texts.

Discussion Point:
Spoken texts include oral stories, interviews, dialogues, monologues, phone
conversations, discussions, role plays, or any other piece of spoken language. Here
are some of the characteristics or features of spoken text:
 Spoken texts have shorter, less complex words and phrases. They are composed
with simple language.
 Spoken text uses active verbs, it is less formal than written
language. Example:
Active- The hospital director inspects the newly reconstructed wing.
Passive- The newly reconstructed wing of the hospital is inspected by the director.
In an active sentence, the subject or topic is the doer of the action. On the other
hand, in a passive sentence, the subject or topic is the receiver of the action.
Going back to the given example:
The hospital director inspects the newly reconstructed wing. Active
Subject(doer) verb Direct Object (receiver of the verb)
This sentence is in active voice because the subject ‘The hospital director’ is the
doer of the action. But if the receiver of the action is the subject of the sentence, your
sentence will be in passive voice just like this:
The newly reconstructed wing of the hospital is inspected by the director.
Subject (receiver of the action) verb doer of the action

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE

DURING THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE 28TH AND 29TH ASEAN SUMMITS AND RELATED
SUMMITS AND HANDING OVER OF THE ASEAN CHAIRMANSHIP TO THE PHILIPPINES
[Vientiane, Laos | 08 September 2016]

Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:

Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith, please accept my sincere congratulations on

your successful chairmanship of the ASEAN throughout this year. You guided us with
the timely motto of ‘Turning Vision into Reality for Dynamic ASEAN community.’
You ably did your part in deepening integration to move us towards the
realization of a rules-based people-oriented, people-centered ASEAN community.
In the last two days of our meetings, I have benefited immensely from our
discussions and exchanges, providing me with insights on how best to build upon Lao
PDR’s efforts in community building.
During the Philippines’ chairmanship, we will highlight ASEAN as a model of
regionalism and a global player, with the interest of the people at its core.
We will pursue initiative and enhance cooperation with global partners to ensure
that ASEAN citizens live in peace, stability, security, and growth, all while remaining
ASEAN centrality, unity, and solidarity, we will maintain for all times.
The Philippines is ready and willing to steer and guide the Association. But
crucial to the realization of our goals is the cooperation and support of all ASEAN
member states and our dialogue partners.
Towards this end, I invite you to be our dynamic and vibrant partners as we
guide ASEAN in 2017. Our theme ‘Partnering for Change, Engaging the World,’
captures our resolve to consolidate our community for our peoples, with a sense of
togetherness and common identity; ready and able to take our rightful place in the
global community of nations.
The Philippines’ ASEAN chairmanship coincides with historic milestone event, we
will
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of our association.
It will be an occasion for us to set the tone for the next 50 years. Join us in
making the
commemoration of ASEAN’s 50th a success.
With great honor and humility, I accept the chairmanship of the ASEAN from our
excellent host, the Lao People’s Republic, Democratic Republic.
I look forward to seeing you all in the Philippines in

2017. Thank you and mabuhay.

Lesson 15. LC7: Evaluate spoken texts using given criteria, e.g. fluency, tone, cohesion,
correctness

I. Let Us Connect
Read and reflect!

Since you are exposed to different spoken texts every day, it is necessary that you
become observant of the content of the spoken text you watch or listen to. You must try
answering these questions.
• Is the language used suited for you or for the occasion?
• Is the content relevant or helpful?
• Is the content true or valid?
• Is the source reliable?

II. What Should You Know/Learn

It is very important that you know how to evaluate a spoken text so you can wisely
choose the text you will expose yourself to. Knowing how to evaluate a spoken text, you can
tell the content that will benefit you and the one that will not. In addition, it will guide you as
well in formulating or delivering your own spoken texts.

Discussion Point:
When evaluating a spoken text, you have to consider the following:
1. Fluency - refers to the continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort with which language is
spoken. Fluency helps you sell your ideas, communicate your thoughts to others,
convince, reach out, and even impress with a speech that is clear, confident, to the
point and crisp.
2. Tone - describes voice pitch, but the same term is also used to describe the speaker's
attitude
as reflected in his treatment to his topic/subject, and how the audience perceives the
overall message. Some examples are: serious, sad, funny, light, etc.
3. Cohesion – refers to the manner of connecting the ideas to make a logical presentation
of the topic/subject.
4. Correctness – refers to the accuracy of the data or information given in the text and if
the sentences are grammatically correct.

III. Let Us Apply What You
Know Activity 39
A. Read the text below, from Oprah Winfrey’s speech, and answer the questions that follow.

“YOUR OWN PATH MADE CLEAR”

I live in this space of radical love and gratitude. Truly, I have, I feel, the most beautiful
life that you can imagine. I sit around trying to think of who could have a better life. And I
will tell you whatever you imagine my life to be like, ‘I wonder what Oprah’s doing right now?’
It’s always 10 times better than whatever you think. And it’s not because I have wealth, which
is great. Money’s fabulous. I love it. And I get a lot of attention. That’s also good sometimes.
But it’s because I had appreciation for the small steps–the seeds that were planted. The map
and flow of my life that unfolded because I was paying attention.

You have to pay attention to your life because it is speaking to you all the time. And
the bumps in the road and the failures that pointed me in a new direction and led me to a
path made clear that is what I’m wishing for you today: Your own path made clear. And I know
that there is a lot of anxiety, a lot about what the future holds and how much money you’re
gonna make. But your anxiety does not contribute one iota to your progress. I’m here to tell
you. It does the opposite. Look at how many times you worried and you were upset. And here
you are today–you made it and I’m here to tell you that you’re going to be more than okay. So
take a deep breath with me right now and repeat this: Everything is always working out for
me. I want to hear it. Everything is always working out for me. That’s my mantra. Make it
yours. Everything is always working out for me because it is, and it has, and it will continue
to be as you forge and discover your own path. But first you do need a job.

Activity 40. Read the interview and evaluate it according to Fluency, Tone, Cohesion and
Correctness. Write your evaluation in paragraph form using the format below.

Employer: “Did you bring a copy of your resume?”

Applicant: A resume? Oh, yeah…it’s in here somewhere. [Dug around in his pocket or bag until
he found a crumpled resume. Smooth out the paper and hand it to the interviewer.]
Employer: “Tell me a little bit about yourself.”
Applicant: Well, I’ve been taking a little time off lately – traveling around the United States. I’m
trying to get one tattoo from every state. I’ve already got a pretty good start, see?
[Show the interviewer his bare arm.]
Employer: “What are your strengths?”
Applicant: I can talk to anybody…and about any subject! There’s never a dull moment when I’m
in a room.
Employer: “What are your weaknesses?”
Applicant: Hmmm, I can’t think of anything. Oh yeah, I have a weakness for Rocky Road ice
cream. I bet I could eat an entire gallon in one sitting. I also like to sleep late. Really,
I’m much more of a night owl than an early bird. Sure, the early bird gets the
worm, but who wants worms anyway?
Employer: “Why do you want to work here?”
Applicant: I figured I’d be able to get free meals if I worked for a restaurant. Plus, I’m living at
home
with my mom and she wants me to pay rent…why, I don’t know.
Employer: “Tell me about a recent job or volunteer position you had.”
Applicant: Uh, the last job I had was at a sporting goods store. That was a while ago, though –
and
it didn’t last too long.
Employer: “Why did you leave that position?”
Applicant: Well, me and the manager didn’t always see eye to eye. Sometimes customers
were pretty rude when we didn’t have the sports equipment they wanted and my
manager expected me to be nice to these people when they clearly didn’t deserve
it. Let’s just say I agreement.
Employer: “Do you have any questions for me?”

Read and reflect!
In your previous lesson, you learned that spoken texts are usually in Active
sentences.
Aside from this feature, spoken texts often contain modals.

II. What Should You Know/Learn

Modal verbs are very common in spoken text. They are often used by a speaker
to encourage his/her listener to take an action or part on something. They add clarity
and intensity to a speech, making it more interesting and appealing to the listeners.

Discussion Point:
MODALS are words that add meaning to the main verb in a sentence by expressing
possibility, ability, permission, or obligation. Here is a table that presents the uses of modals
in sentences.

that we should/can have done. And we also may/shall regret those things we did badly and
the mistakes we made. In reality, we be able to/can always learn from our mistakes and hope
to never make them again. For example, if I failed a test because of a lack of study, the next
test I will/must hope to pass because of hard work. Remember too that some regrets are not
based in reality and we must/may waste time thinking that they are. Would/should I have
really not have been involved in a car crash if I had been driving more slowly? After all, the
