Activity 5.1

Direction: Read each passage carefully and summarize with one or two sentences only.

1. Concealing your imperfections just to please others affect your mental health. Sometimes we try to

show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we

could not please everyone and we shouldn’t try. The beauty in us lies in our vulnerability, our

complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections. When we embrace who we are and decide to

be authentic, instead of who we think others want us to be, we open ourselves to real relationships,

real happiness, and real success.

Instead of concealing our imperfections in hopes that we will be liked, we should rather

embrace who we are and decide to be authentic. Consequently, we can open ourselves to real

relationships, real happiness, and real success.

2. Whatever happens today and every day must be considered as manuscripts of God’s message of

faithfulness to each of our lives. Let us remain faithful and grateful to HIM and stop worrying about

worldly challenges that most of the time consume our energies and positivity. God is bigger that

all the struggles we face in life. He was…is…and will always be.

Every day must be considered a manuscript of God’s message of faithfulness to each of our

lives. Let us remain faithful and grateful to Him for God is bigger than the worldly challenges

we face in life.

3. It is aptitude that will bring you to the top, but it is attitude that will keep you there. It is good

attitude that serves as foundation to good manners and right conduct. Hence, to discriminate the

working class by putting them to the lowest level while elevating or regarding yourself too

esteemed is gruesome and petrifying. Having a boss does not make you a lesser person even if you

are extremely intelligent and skillful in that sense. Especially when you are working in the richest

institution of the country ---no less than the government.

It is aptitude that will bring you to the top, but it is attitude that will keep you there since it

serves as the foundation for good manners and right conduct. Hence, to discriminate against

the working class while elevating yourself is gruesome and petrifying.

4. It is good attitude that will keep you humble especially if you are a nouveau riche and famous.

Humility should remind you that material wealth is nothing and you are just a speck in this entire

universe. Aptitude goes beyond spelling correctly the English words or computing quickly difficult

math problems. It is also thinking critically and speaking wisely. Similarly, good attitude is not just

possessing good behavior. It is a predisposition or a tendency to respond positively

towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual choice of

action, and responses to challenges and struggles in life. At all times, look at the mirror and say to

yourself, “I am beautiful because I possess both attitude and aptitude.

Summarizing

Maria Kathleen Ann M. Suelto BS in Tourism Management April 19, 2022 Aptitude and attitude influence an individual’s choice of action and responses to all the circumstances and problems in life as well as responding positively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation.

Nervousness affects different people in different ways. Perhaps you feel that your hands and knees shake uncontrollably as you speak in public. The people sitting next to you may not ever experience those symptoms of nervousness, but they may have difficulty breathing comfortably and feel that their voices are shaky and quivery. Whatever your individual responses to stress, don’t wait until you are delivering a public speech to discover them. Nervousness affects different people in different ways. You may feel your hands and knees shaking uncontrollably, and others may have difficulty breathing affecting their voices while speaking in public.
If you know that your hands shake when you are nervous, don’t hold a sheet of paper during the speech; the shaking paper will only amplify the movement of your hands and will telegraph this sign of nervousness to your audience. If your voice is likely to be thin and quivery as you begin speaking, take several deep. Slow breaths before you begin to speak. If you get tense before speaking, try some muscle relaxation techniques: tense your hands, arms, and shoulders, and then slowly relax them. If you get flustered before speaking, make sure you arrive on time or even a little early—never late. If looking at an audience intimidates you, talk to audience members before beginning your talk, and when you start to speak, look for friendly faces in the audience. When you are nervous, don’t hold a sheet of paper during the speech, take several deep slow breaths before you begin to speak, try some muscle relaxation techniques, make sure you arrive on time or even a little early, talk to audience members before beginning your talk, and when you start to speak, look for friendly faces in the audience. Activity 5. Read this short story below by O. Henry. The Gift of the Magi One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all she had. And the next day would be Christmas. Delia flopped down on the shabby old couch and cried. She wanted so much to get something special for her husband Jim, but she only had $1.87. Delia stood and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red. She didn’t want Jim to know she’d been crying. She let her hair fall to its full length, almost to her knees, and began to brush it. Jim loved her soft, long hair. The only thing he liked more was the gold watch that had belonged to his father and grandfather. Suddenly Delia had an idea. She piled her hair on top of her head, put on her old brown jacket and hat, and fluttered out the door and down the steps of the street. She stopped at a door that read: Madame Sofron Hair Goods. Delia ran in and asked, “Will you buy my hair?”

Which is the main idea of the story? a. Delia changes her hairstyle. b. Jim and Delia plan a special Christmas dinner. c. Jim and Delia sacrificed to get each other a special gift. d. Delia has old clothing to wear.
Write a summary of the story in just few sentences. Delia wanted to buy her husband Jim, a Christmas gift but all she had was $1.87. Suddenly she had an idea. Delia sold her hair to Madame Sofron Hair Goods and earned 20 dollars from it. Delia went from store to store and finally bought a simple gold watch chain and went home. When Jim came home, he was sad when he saw Delia. Surprisingly, Jim also got Delia a set of combs as a gift. He sold his beloved watch to afford the set of combs he gave to Delia. They laughed together after knowing what they have sacrificed to give each other Christmas presents. They were happy, yet sad to know that each had given up a prized possession for the love of the other. Activity 5.3. Trying summary technique with nursery rhymes. These children rhymes taught to us are just for mouth delivery and for entertainment, but they actually carry with them serious or interesting message that relate to life. I learned all these in Children’s Literature. Check on some of them below. A. Humpty Dumpty Sat on the wall Humpty Dumpty Had a great fall. All the King’s horses And all the King’s men

Maria Kathleen Ann M. Suelto BS in Tourism Management April 19, 2022 Couldn’t put Humpty Together again. Message: An egg fell and was irreparably broke. Direction: From the message cited, think of a life’s scenario, experience, problem or observation that you can relate in just 10-15 sentences. I still vividly remember the moment I saw my mother crying early in the morning. As a child who did not know what was going on, I was confused and thought of it as a passing moment. But as I have grown older, I finally understood the reason behind my mother's wailing. My father broke my mother's trust because of his infidelity. Since then, I usually hear advice from my mother to not get married. Undeniably, my mother's view of marriage changed. She might not show it, but I certainly know that she was deeply wounded by what happened. Until now, I can say that my mother’s trust in my father is irreparably broken. Although, it might not be my experience, but my perception of marriage also changed. Activity 5.3. B. The itsy bitsy spider Climbed up the water spout Down came the rain And washed the spider out Up came the sun and Dried up all the rain And the itsy bitsy spider Climbed up the spout again. Message: A mere “spider” fell but got up again. Direction: Do as you were directed in nursery A. You may include words in the rhyme that would symbolize human experiences. I have failed numerous times, but I still fear failure. I guess my fear of failure started when my parents' expectations overwhelmed me. From then, whenever I join competitions, I do not tell them, so that whenever I fail, I do not have to see their disappointed faces and hear words that I know will just pain me. My self-esteem and confidence decreased since then, which affected my mental health and the way I

Twenty points shall be earned for completing the task; otherwise, you will only get 10 points. Sustainable development emerged as a concept in the early sixties when the ruthless industrialization in the developed countries started showing visible signs of natural degradation and problems of pollution and ill health. Sustainable development became a wholesome word after the Brundtland Commission Report of 1987. It has three fundamental principles of inter-generational equity and justice, intra-generational equity and justice, and that of the respect for the carrying capacity of land. Since the definition given by the report fails to define the processes underlying the complexities and contradictions within which international decisions are taken, the industrialized and the less- industrialized countries have defined the term to suit their own requirements. However, there is a basic value inherent in this concept which everyone agrees to and that is respect for human needs only in relation to the environmental capability to support the largest number of people to the longest possible time frame.
