English is an international language that connects people all over the world. It is
the language that builds relations to other countries. The Philippines for instance is
considered as an English-speaking country. Thus, being able to speak and write English
as a global language is imperative in this modern Filipino society.
In this module you will learn more about the use and importance of the English
language by means of understanding argumentative essays. Particularly, you will learn
to agree or disagree to assertions made and use correct expression of agreement and
disagreement on a particular write-up. You will also be able to diagram these assertions
to clarify their stance and points on the issue. By doing so, you will be able to
understand better the write-ups you are reading, thus, honing your reading ability.
What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of
the module. Use your English notebook in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instructions carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not
alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and
gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

Lesson
1 Argumentative Essay
What's In
In your previous lesson, you learned about non-linear text and how to interpret
them. Non-linear texts are visual presentations of data with the use of diagrams, charts,
graphic organizers, concept maps, infographics, and among others. Today, you will
apply what you have learned by answering the following non-linear texts.

whether the number is 6 or 9?
Do you think diagrams and other graphic organizers are of great help in
understanding any text that you are reading?
If you do, then you have understood the use of non-linear texts. Now let’s
proceed to today’s lesson.
What’s New
Language is an essential tool for communication which enables us to link and
understand with other people’s ideas, desires, experiences and emotions through verbal
and non-verbal form of communication.

Activity 3. Useful or Not?
4
Directions: Number the sentences in order from 1-12 as 1= most useful to 12=
least useful in identifying the best way to learn English. Write your answer on a separate
sheet.
- listening to the teacher explain grammar rules
- answering a lot of written grammar exercise
- making visual representations of material read and heard
- doing a lot of oral exercises
- writing everything down in a notebook while learning
- speaking as much as possible in class and outside
- working on a task with a group
- participating in plays and other literary productions using the language
- trying to think in English and not translating
- making information maps of material read
- forgetting about grammar and listening to people talking instead
Based on your answers above, you already understand that each individual
differs in his or her point of view as to what is the most useful and the least useful skill in
learning English. It is for such reason that argumentation is valuable.
What Is It
Most writing is argumentative in some way. Argumentation and persuasion are
essential elements of discourse in all walks of life. We write to persuade the reader that
what we have to say is correct, intelligent, and rational and that our explanation or
position appropriate and makes sense.
To argue means to present issues and ideas in a fair-minded and rational way—
to appeal to the reader’s open mind and judgment. Your readers may be receptive to
your point of view, but they expect you to present your argument in a logical, rational
way that links evidence with your claims (Online Guide to Writing and Research, 2011).

Purposes of Argument
Argument has two purposes. It is used to:
change people’s points of view or persuade them to accept new points of view
persuade people to a particular action or new behavior
6
known as inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.
When our logical thinking states specific facts (called premises ) and then draws
a conclusion, or generalization, we call this inductive thinking. Inductive
reasoning enables us to examine the specific details in light of how well they add up to
the generalization. When we think inductively, we are asking whether the evidence
clearly supports the conclusions.

manipulative and sensational. Strong evidence accumulated by careful research often
addresses this potential problem well.

Below are some short paragraphs taken from the article “How about the Return
of English as the Medium of Instruction?” of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Read the
following and analyze the speaker’s argument on the issue.
Paragraph 1
Learning English has nothing to do with nationalism or losing one’s Filipino
identity. Filipinos will always be Filipinos wherever they are. The only difference is
we will be able to deal with and survive global challenges and to complete with the
rest of the world. —Nunok
Paragraph 2
“Our nurses are industrious efficient and caring, but if they could not
communicate effectively with the patient in English, then we have a problem, “one
politician said.
Paragraph 3
Why do Filipinos need English? The most obvious reason for this is for us
to be exportable to developed countries. That’s the only contribution of the
Philippines to the world: Manpower, nothing more. –Sulung
Paragraph 4
English is the main language of books, newspapers, airports and air traffic
control, international business and academic conference, science, technology,
diplomacy, sport, international competitions, pop music and advertising.

Activity 4 Fill me in!
Directions: Reread the paragraphs above to be able to fill in the grid
below. After careful analysis of the speaker’s views, determine his stand and his
arguments. You can discuss this with your parents or siblings to get more ideas. Note
that FOR is Positive point of view while AGAINST is Negative point of view. The first

I just read an article saying that practically all Dutch people speak English.
Children, old people, teenagers, adults, everybody. A lot of them study for 7 to 8
years in school. Why? Because Holland is a small country in a big world where very
few people speak Dutch. It’s a simple and as practical as that.
What are we doing here? How many people aside from Filipinos speak
Filipino? And yet, some people, politicians, pseudo-nationalists, grandstanders,
want us to forget English. We already had a good grab of it, we knew it, we were
proficient in it. We are reading and talking, and writing in it. Now, the asses want us
to forget it.
Have you heard of anything more incredibly stupid? Why do we limit
ourselves? Why do we deprive ourselves of a tool which we know we can put to
good use in so many areas of our lives? For development, for our own good?
What are we trying to promote – shabby chic? All we’re doing is ending up tacky
11
minus chic.
Life is addition, not subtraction. What’s the excuse? We haven’t found our
identity? Listen Kiddos, if we don’t know who we are by now we’ll never know.
And who we are, by the way, is not determined by what we speak.
I suppose politicians think that to insist on Filipino only is scoring with the
masses.
Somebody should conduct a survey to ask the masses if they would prefer
being able to speak English or not. The truth now, please, for once!
I wish those politicians would stop playing with the masses. Stop posturing
in front of them and playing dice with their future.
The masses have been exploited enough about material things but some of
us want to extract more from them. Pwede ba, enough already.

Summary
Learning and being competent in the second language does not mean to value
less the first language. It does not entail unpatriotic act but it marks a greater
achievement to embrace modernization. English is a universal language and a useful
tool to know the world better. Acquiring a second language can only be done through
constant practice in reading, speaking, listening and writing.
