I. OBJECTIVES:
Example:
Most mobile phones sold today have an operating system that is
either designed by Apple or Google. Both of these operating systems
allow users to connect to application stores and download
applications. However, one major difference between these two
operating systems is that Apple makes the iOS operating system
powering their iPhones and iPads. In other words, the iOS operating
system only appears on products created by Apple. On the other
hand, Google makes the Android operating system that can be found
on many different mobile phones and tablets like Samsung, Sony and
LG. So, which operating system do you prefer - Android or iOS?

Example:
In the Philippines, it is the brown race that constitutes the majority and the
white or mestizo is the minority. It follows, therefore, that the mean and
measure in judging beauty is the Malay skin, hair, eyes, nose, lips, body, and
stance. As a result, film producers and directors consciously build up stars
whose dominant features are Malay like Nora Aunor, Angel Locsin, John Lloyd
Cruz and Daniel Padilla.

A. PRACTICE TASK 1:
Directions: Read the text below and answer the questions the follow.
Working on a computer may be easier and safer than working in a mine. However, it
doesn’t come without risks. Using a computer for a long time can lead to poor eyesight, muscle
loosening, back pain, and injuries to the hands and wrists. If you find yourself working or
playing on a computer quite regularly, take a few steps to prevent these problems and you’ll
thank yourself later. To address this, taking frequent breaks when you are computing for a long
time is recommended. Specifically, you have to get up, walk around, stretch your hands and
wrists, and straighten your back every once and a while. Undeniably, it can be hard to pull
yourself away from your computer once you get into a zone, but your body will thank you later if
you do. Thus, make your health a priority and don’t worry so much about what is happening on
that little screen.
Bicycles are an excellent choice when it comes to transportation. Biking is healthy and faster
than walking, but it is also dangerous. Each year tens of thousands of people are killed or
injured while riding a bicycle. This is because our roads are designed for motorists 1885 –
Chain Driven Bicycle and not cyclists, but we can change the landscape. Each time a road is
built or rebuilt, we should put in bike lanes. Clearly marked bicycle lanes will give cyclists a
safer place to ride. Our cyclists deserve this little bit of consideration. In fact, their very lives
are depending on it.
