Compose an Independent Critique

A critique is an in-depth evaluation of a story, novel, film, or other reading/viewing materials for the purpose
of giving the public an insight into the text. Although a critique shares the same root with the word “criticize,” it does
not mean that the write-up merely points out the faults or flaws in a story or film. Instead, a critique seeks to shed
light on the content of a “text” (the story, novel, song, movie etc.) to help future readers or viewers understand better
the material that they are reading or viewing. Critical essays about texts are indeed very important in helping us make
sense of what we just read or viewed. At times, it can also inform our decisions on what other good materials we can
read or watch next.

Critiques contain a careful evaluation mainly on the following elements of a narrative: characterization,
setting, conflict, plot, dialogue, theme, and style. These aspects, as well as the manner that they were presented in the
material, are studied so that the critic can come up with a valid evaluation on whether or not the material is good,
beautiful, or significant especially for the readers or viewers.

WHAT IS A MOVIE REVIEW?

A movie review sums up the author’s personal impression and critical evaluation of a film and its elements organized
in paragraphs. Its main purpose is to inform, analyze, convince, and entertain. Writing a movie review aims at
providing the readers with something to look forward to without spoiling the content of the film.

Gramatika: Pagsasaling-wika

Ang pagsasaling-wika ay ang paglilipat sa pinagsasalinang wika ng pinakamalapit na katumbas na diwa at estilong
nasa wikang isasalin. Ang isasalin ay ang diwa ng talata at hindi ng bawat salitang bumubuo rito. (Santiago, 2003)

Mga Katangiang Dapat Taglayin ng Isang Tagapagsalin

1. Ang isang tagapagsalin ay kailangang may sapat na kaalaman sa dalawang wikang kasangkot sa pagsasalin.
2. Kinakailangang magkaroon ang tagapagsalin ng sapat na kaalaman sa gramatika ng dalawang wikang kasangkot
sa pagsasalin.
3. Kinakailangang may sapat na kaalaman ang tagapagsalin sa paksang isasalin sapagkat siya ang higit na
nakaaalam at nakauunawa sa mga konseptong nakapaloob dito
4. Nagtataglay ang tagapagsalin ng sapat na kakayahan sa pampanitikang paraan ng pagpapahayag
5. Kinakailangan ding magkaroon ng sapat na kaalaman sa kultura ng dalawang bansang kaugnay sa pagsasalin.

Gabay sa Pagsasaling-wika
1. Basahing mabuti ang buong tekstong isasalin at unawain ang
kabuoang diwa nito.
2. Tandaang mahalaga para sa tagapagsalin na magkaroon ng malawak na kaalaman sa wikang isasalin at sa wikang
pagsasalinan.
3. Mahalaga rin ang kakayahang makapagsulat nang maayos at maging pamilyar sa mga estilo ng pagsulat sa
dalawang wikang kasangkot sa pagsasalin.
a. Isagawa ang unang pagsasalin. Isaisip na ang pagsasalin ay diwa at hindi salita.
b. Basahin at suriing mabuti ang pagkakasalin. Tandaan ang pagdaragdag, pagbabawas, pagpapalit, o pagbabago sa
orihinal na diwa ng isinasalin nang walang makabuluhang dahilan ay isang paglabag sa tungkulin ng tagapagsalin
c. Rebisahin ang salin upang ito'y maging totoo sa diwa ng orihinal. Pansinin din ang aspektong panggramatika ng
dalawang wikang kasama sa pagsasalin.
d. Kung gagamit ng diksiyonaryo ay isaalang-alang ang iba't ibang kahulugan ng isang salita. Kakailanganin ng isang
mag-aaral ang pagsasanay upang makuha ang kahulugang angkop sa konteksto ng pangungusap.

Informative Writing/Essay

An informative text educates readers about a topic or subject. It is meant to inform others using credible
sources as evidence – facts, statistics, and other research data. Informative texts usually answer the five Ws: who,
where, when, what, and why. Sometimes, they also describe “how” to do or accomplish something. When choosing a
topic for informative writing, focus on a specific topic. Consider the topic that is not too broad or too narrow. A topic is
too broad if you cannot explain it in one or two pages. For example, you cannot choose special education as the topic
because it has a big scope. Rather, you can be more specific and select causes of hearing-impairment as your topic.
On the other hand, a topic is too narrow when it is very simple and can be explained in a sentence or a short
paragraph. Just like any type of writing, informative texts follow a structure – the introduction, body, and conclusion.

Tone, clarity (being clear) and transition words

Aside from the structure, other features and techniques of informative writing need to be considered. First is
tone or attitude of the author toward the topic. The attitude of the author toward the topic should always be formal,
objective, and neutral. The writer’s opinion and beliefs do not have a place in informative writing. Second, always be
specific. Provide clear answers to the five Ws and one H of the topic you are writing about. Employ language that is
clear, formal, and unbiased.

Informative essays vary in length, but all good informative pieces are a product of an application of several
writing techniques. Below are some of the best tips/techniques to help you write an excellent informative text.
1. Open with an attention grabber and conclude with a summary of the main points of the essay.
2. Use appropriate transitional words to ensure the logical flow of ideas.
3. Observe formal tone.
4. Utilize proper language and applicable vocabulary to the topic. Similarly, avoid biased language.
5. Make use of formatting, nonlinear texts such as flowcharts, graphs, graphic organizers, and digital texts
with hyperlinks when needed.
