Old Legends are like vintage wine. The passing of the years merely adds to their
flavour. Paraaque, the largest town of Rizal, has a beautiful legend about how the
town was named.
When the Philippines was conquered by the Spaniards, some soldiers riding a
horse-drawn carriage asked to be taken to a certain place. However, the coachman
did not understand the Spanish soldiers pronunciation. When they arrived, one of
the soldiers said, Para aqui, Para aqui meaning, Stop here, stop here. The
coachman did not understand and kept going whereas the soldier also repeated his
instruction, Para aqui, Para aqui. The coachman left the carriage and told the
townspeople that, These Spaniards are repeatedly saying para aniya ake para
aniya ake to which the townspeople just laughed. The incident circulated and was
repeated around for days and the term Para Aniya Ake stuck.[5]
Olympic Games
The Olympic games began as athletic festivals to honor the Greek gods. The
most important festival was held in the valley of Olympia to honor Zeus, the king
of the gods. It was this festival that became the Olympic games in 776 B.C. These
games were ended in A.D. 394 by the Roman Emperor who ruled Greece. No
Olympic games were held for more than 1,500 years. Then the modern Olympics
began in 1896. Almost 300 male athletes competed in the first modern Olympics In
the games held in 1900, female athletes were allowed to compete. The games
have continued every four years since 1896 except during World War II, and they
will most likely continue for many years to come.
RECOUNT
A Bomb in Plane
I am used to travelling by air but only on one occasion I felt frightened. After
taking foo, we flew low over the city. It slowly wen high to the sky.
But suddenly it turned round and flew back to the airport. An air-hostess told
us to keep calm and to get off the place quietly as soon as it landed. After we
landed, the police searched the plane carefully. Everybody on board was worried
and we grew curious about what was happening.
Later, we learned that there was a very important person on board. Earlier,
somebody told the police that there was a bomb on the plane. Fortunately, they
did not find a bomb and five hours later we were able to take off again.
EXPLANATION
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water
cycle involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface
water to evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water
in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling
through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry
desert regions.
Traditional Navajo (Nav-ahoe) foods hat are still enjoyed today include
mutton, corn, and fry bread made from flour. This bread is similar to Mexican
Tortilla. Fried bread is mostly flat, but fluffy in places. This delicious bread can be
eaten plain, stuffed with a filling, or dipped in stews. Fry bread is easy to make. If
you want to try this, all you need is flour, salt, baking powder, powdered milk, and
water. Follow a recipe and form the dough into little floured patties. These are to be
fried in a pan in about one inch of oil. When the dough puffs up, the fry bread is
ready to enjoy.
The Olympic Symbol consists of five interlocking rings. The rings represent the five
different areas of the world Africa, Asia, America (North and South), Australia,
Last week, I went to Yogyakarta with my family. My father drove the car. My
mother sat beside him. My sister and I sat in the back seats.
We woke up early in the morning. My father prepared the car in the garage
while mother was preparing food for breakfast and some snacks for us. My sister
and I packed some clothes. After everything got ready and we had our breakfast,
we left the house at six o'clock.
It was about nine A.M. We arrived at Yogyakarta. First of all we visited our
uncle. We stayed there for an hour. Then we went to Parangtritis beach. We got
there at eleven o'clock. There were a lot of tourists because it was holiday. I saw
many foreign visitors too. My parents watched us playing with sand in the beach.
We did not swim and take a bath since the wave was rough. After having lunch, we
went on our picnic to the museum and Malioboro shopping centre.
We drove back to Semarang at 7 o'clock and arrived home at ten. We were tired
but happy.
Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter the
amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.
Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the tree's
seeds. They are also known as coco beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they
are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the
beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different
qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a
The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the
meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended
nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes
bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However,
cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter
chocolate.
A lot of people, especially young people, go though the day without having
breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they dont
have time for that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone
should eat breakfast before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to
show the importance of breakfast, especially for students.
The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for
your health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a
disease because its not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. Its very
important to have a meal and not let your stomach work empty. All you are going
to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your health if you dont eat breakfast.
Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your
classes. You body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could
because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something
and have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble
succeeding. A lot of people think that they should not eat because they are going
to feel tired, but thats not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the
contrary, youre going to feel tired if you dont have breakfast because you have
spent the entire previous night without food.
The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if
you eat some breakfast in the morning. If you dont eat, you are going to get sick,
and these diseases will have a stronger effect on you because youre going to get
sick easier than people who have breakfast every day.
The choice of words in a written text enables the writer to introduce certain
attitudes and feelings: for example, anger, informative, irony, genuine,
sympathetic, critical or joyful. These attitudes and feelings form the tone of the
text. It is through the writers tone that the emotional message of the text is
communicated to the audience.
Genre is a French word that means kind or type. All literary texts can be
categorised into different genres fantasy, crime, romance, horror and Sci-Fi.
The five text types list four general reasons why authors write. Identifying
the text type of a passage helps the reader set the purpose for reading and alerts
the reader to the organization of the piece.
Purpose
The basic purpose of narrative is to entertain, to gain and hold a readers'
interest. However narratives can also be written to teach or inform, to change
attitudes / social opinions e.g. soap operas and television dramas that are used to
raise topical issues.
The main goal of narrative writing or speaking is usually to tell a story, often in
order to make the audience feel differently about a certain topic. Narratives might
take the form of a play, novel, folk tale, memoir, or myth. Things usually unfold
from a single person or characters perspective, and tend to be very descriptive.
This type of communication usually appeals to an audiences humanity, often by
drawing on common experiences or emotions that are easily relatable or by
depicting circumstances that pique the imagination.
Types of Narrative
There are many types of narrative. They can be imaginary, factual or a
combination of both. They may include fairy stories, mysteries, science fiction,
romances, horror stories, adventure stories, fables, myths and legends, historical
narratives, ballads, slice of life, personal experience.
Further more, when there is plan for writing narrative texts, the focus should be on
the following characteristics:
Plot: What is going to happen?
Setting: Where will the story take place? When will the story take place?
Characterization: Who are the main characters? What do they look like?
Structure: How will the story begin? What will be the problem? How is the problem
going to be resolved?
Theme: What is the theme / message the writer is attempting to communicate?
What is a recount?
A recount tells about something that happened in the past. The details in a
recount can include what happened, who was involved, where it took place, when
it happened and why it occurred.
Examples of a recount
Structure
A well-structured recount includes details of the event or topic and personal
opinions.
Written recounts often start with a heading or title. Letters and journal entries do
not usually have a title. Oral recounts might have a title if you are giving a
presentation. If you are just talking with friends a title is not usually needed.
The purpose or the social function of Recount text is to retell or to inform the
reader about what was happened to the writer with series of events.
3. Using action verb, such as; went, arrived, ate, jumped, etc
What is an explanation?
An explanation is used to describe how things work and why things happen.
An explanation tries to provide answers to questions that the reader (or listener)
Explanations can:
describe how things work: how does a DVD player work?'
describe why things happen: why are there different seasons?'
show how things are similar or different: how do fresh water and salt
water differ? How are they similar?'
try to solve a problem or situation: what is the fastest way to clean my
room?'.
Examples of explanations
Explanations seek to answer questions about how things work in nature
and in the human world. Some examples of questions that might be
answered in an explanation include:
How does a camera work?
Structure of an explanation
An explanation can be written or spoken. When written, an explanation
needs a title or heading. This will tell the reader what the text is about.
The body paragraphs will use facts to help answer the question stated in the
introduction. The body is also called the explanation sequence. This is the most
important part of an explanation and should be well organised and easy to
understand.
The conclusion ends the explanation. This paragraph is often used to re-state
the problem and solution.
Explanations often have visual imagery. This can include photos, drawings,
diagrams and charts. Visual imagery often makes the text easier to understand.
When using persuasive writing, the author should never express their
personal opinions, but instead should use facts to convince the reader to agree
with them. In some cases the author will present information to the reader about
two sides to an argument. This is done to show the reader that they have thought
about both sides, and helps the writer shut down any counterargument that the
reader may have about the issue. This type of writing style is commonly found in
argumentative essays, articles, and scripts for commercials and political
campaigns, to name just a few.

Once upon a time, a very small fish which, very much satisfied with the river
in which it lived, asked God for nothing else but a little moss and many small
stones to run over, to slide through as in a labyrinth. The fish didnt know what
was fish-hook; it had never seen a net. For so small and unknown was the river
in the heart of the mountain.
It happened once that a young lass went to dress and to look at herself in the
limpid water of the river. The lass saw the fish and wished to have it. She went
down to the water, and with her small and pretty hands, tried to catch it.
Come, she said, you re pretty and small; put yourself under my
protection, and Ill show you things youve never seen before. Come to my
home, I have kitchen pots, plates, cups, forks, knives, and in the hearth there
burns a very beautiful fire. There, youll never get cold.
Why, I believe so. Youll be charming and ravishing when first I put you in a
shiny, brilliant, even more than your scales.
And afterwards?
Whats fire?
Its very difficult to describe; it would be better to feel it. Look. You see the
sun? its the piece of the sun.
Whats a plate?
A platea plate, its like a moon, as big as the moon, but with flowers, with
birds painted on it.

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-
field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting
place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this.
