Below are sentences taken from the essay “What is an Educated Filipino” by
Francisco Benitez. Read the sentences and identify the collocations used in
the sentence.
Essay is a brief nonfiction work that deals with one subject. It may
express facts, a statement that can be proven or opinion, statement
expressing the writer’s view and may not be proven. It was once described
by one author that reading an essay is ‘listening to someone think’ because
it contains the thoughts of the writer. It may be serious or humorous,
formal or informal.
Below is an essay of Francisco Benitez. Read and find out how he lifts
the spirits and esteem of an educated Filipino, how he gives pride to the
Filipino race by writing inside the flag of the Philippines the greatness of an
educated Filipino.
Francisco Benitez
Great changes have taken place in the nature of our social life during
the last twenty years. The contact with Americans and their civilization has
modified many of our old social customs, traditions, and practices, some for
the worse and many for the better. The means of communication have
improved, and therefore better understanding exists among the different
sections of our country. Religious freedom has developed religious tolerance
in our people. The growth of the public schools and the establishment of
democratic institutions have developed our national consciousness both in
strength and in solidarity.
Practical Activity
The educated Filipino, in the third place, must have ingrained in his
speech and conduct those elements that are everywhere organized as
accompaniments of culture and morality so that, possessing the capacity for
self-entertainment and study, he may not be at the mercy of the pleasure of
the senses or a burden to himself when alone. There are, then, at least three
characteristics which I believe to be the evidence of the educated Filipino
the power to do, to support himself, and to contribute the wealth of the our
people; acquaintance with the world’s progress, especially with that of his
race, people, and community, together with the love of our best ideals and
traditions; and refined manners and moral conduct, as well as the power of
growth.
