LESSON 1 Text and Context Connections: Critical Reading as Reasoning
Learning Competencies
The learners shall be able to
 Explain critical reading as a form of reasoning (EN11/12RWS-IVac-8).
*********************************************************************************************************************
Goals of Critical Reading
Prentice Hall has enumerated the following critical reading skills:
1. The ability to distinguish between fact and opinion
2. The ability to identify the author’s purpose
3. The ability to make inferences
4. The ability to recognize the author’s tone
5. The ability to recognize persuasive techniques

Definition of Terms
 Critical Reading – goes beyond recognition of the text’s meaning and restating it in your own words.
 Fact – is characterized by its ability to be verified through experimentation, personal observation or credible sources.
 Opinions – is a statement that cannot be proved or checked. It tells what someone thinks, feels or believes.
 Inference – is an idea or conclusion that’s drawn from evidence and reasoning. An inference is an educated guess.
When you are making an inference, you are reading between the lines or just looking carefully at the facts and coming to
conclusions.
 Author’s purpose – is his reason for or intent in writing. An author’s purpose may be to amuse the reader, to persuade
the reader or to inform him.

applicant’s experiences and personal qualities for him to be considered for an interview schedule, as well as with the available job
position.

Different Letter Formats

1. Full Block Format. This is the most common layout used in writing cover letter. In this format, all parts are justified to the
left.
Example Full Block Format

Rayjean P. Doblas HEADING – includes:

Blk 36 lot 34 Deca Homes Cabantian Applicant’s Name
Davao City, Davao del Sur Applicant’s Address
09071801069 Contact Number and E-mail address
rayjeandoblas15@yahoo.com (to make it easier for the employer to easily contact the applicant)

Ma. Lou P. Gonzales, Ed.d.

School Principal INSIDE ADDRESS – includes Hiring Person’s Name and Company Address
Holy Cross Mintal It refers to where and to whom the letter is addressed.
Mintal, Davao City
GREETINGS OR SALUTATION. It is written to indicate for whom the letter is. It should start with the
Dear Ma’am: word "Dear" followed by the last name of the receiver. End the salutation with a colon (:). If the name has not been

With my passion to share my knowledge and experiences, I want to apply for the position as a Junior High School Teacher in your school.
I have completed my Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English degree last 2015 at University of Southeastern Philippines.

After I graduated, I was hired as Kinder 1 and 2 adviser in Davao Macarius Child Academy, Inc., School Year 2015 to 2016. My first
experience really taught me on how to handle children which is really different from the other grade level like Junior High School and Senior
High School. In year 2017 until 2019, I started to handle core subjects of Grade 11 and 12 in Dok Alternatibo Research and Development
Foundation, Inc. My advisory is the Academic Track – Accountancy, Business and Management Grade 11 and Grade 12.

I believe that even we were experiencing COVID-19 pandemic, I can still educate students by using different learning modalities. Teaching
is what I desired to do and I know that I will carry great responsibility. I can do it with my enthusiasm and patience. My experience will allow
me to impart lessons to students and with these things it made me one of the competitive candidate for possible. Along with my skills, I will
show my willingness to work with others and learn new things from them.

Please review my attached documents for additional details of my expertise and achievements. I’ll be happy to meet with you Ma’am at
your convenience and to introduce myself more thoroughly. I give you thanks for giving me a chance to serve in your school.

3. Semi-Block Format. The least used format is the semi-block. It is almost the same as the modified block format; however,
the difference is that the first sentence in each paragraph is indented.

COLLEGE APPLICATION LETTER

College Admission Letter also referred to as the "letter of intent," is a one page letter required for college and university
admission. The sender writes a letter to briefly discuss his intention for attending the college program. College Admission Essay,
or known as "statement of purpose" or "personal statement," is an essay written by the student applicant to answer the essay
topics given by the admission office.

Most admission essays have a limit of two hundred to five hundred words and usually answers assigned topic. The
challenge here is to showcase you - as the right candidate - for their university in a limited number of words. Remember that the
purpose of this essay is to know more of your personality without repeating what is written in the profile or registration form. It
should answer the question or topic clearly.

VARIOUS FORMS OF OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE

Office correspondence, also known as the ‘business correspondence’, is a written exchange of internal and external
communication to support all business processes. It has three major forms including the business letter, business memo and
business e-mail that may be used for internal or external communication. Internal correspondence means that there is a
communication or agreement between departments or branches of the same company, while external correspondence means that
the communication is between the company and another organization or firm. The purpose of the correspondence is to
communicate the information in a clear and professional way.

1. Business letter is the traditional way of communicating information from one company to another or used in external
correspondence. The format can either be full block, modified block and semi-block. The format used in writing a business
letter depends on the requirements set by the company. Different types of letters are sales letter, order letter, complaint
letter, inquiry letter, adjustment letter, acknowledgement letter, follow-up letter, acknowledgement letter, cover letter,
letter of recommendation and letter of resignation.

2. Business memo is a written communication strictly between the company’s offices to another, or used in internal
correspondence. The difference between a memo and a letter is that the memo has its title line and series number. The
employees tend to read the if the title line is related to their job description. It is also used to implement internal guidelines or
procedures that the employees must follow. Some types of memos are operational memo, financial memo, request for
action, directives, trip report, field report and dress code memo among others.

3. Business e-mail is an office correspondence that can either be internal or external. There is no required format in writing e-
mail correspondence but it is expected that the writer maintains a professional tone. Note that the header of the letter is written
on the blank fields including the ‘from’ and ‘to’ fields. ‘From’ contains e-mail from the sender while the field ‘to’ contains the
email of the recipient.

Must answer this on April 6, 2021 POSITION PAPER Written Task:

15
Read the sample position paper. Then answer the questions that follow.
Committee: General Assembly
Topic: Global Warming
Country: The Kingdom of Sweden
Delegates: *****************
Global warming’s effects and influence on the global climate is visible all around us now. As time has passed in
the past century, Arctic ice has begun to gradually melt and sea levels have started to rise. If this situation continues, then low-lying
island nations such as Vanuatu and Maldives will sink into the sea and will simply disappear.
Also, climate is changing in many parts of the world because of global warming. For example, acid rain damaging
soils and forests, particularly in our country, serious droughts in Australia, and abnormal weather patterns all over the world. These
things are not naturally occurring phenomena – they were caused by human actions. Our nation is addressing global warming on a
domestic level. For example, we are separating household waste and recycling as much as we can, and are
imposing taxes on CO2 emissions. Our carbon dioxide emissions are 0.4% of the global total.
We are raising public awareness of the environmental problems they will face in the future, and we hope that our
people will address this issue. But individual nations cannot succeed – the only way to secure our future is if we can get a consensus
of nations to take action to reduce these effects. Humans caused this problem and ultimately they
must address and deal with it.
We must, as global citizens, address this problem actively. Thank you.

Reading Comprehension
1. What is the issue taken up in the position paper?
