BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Writers of textbooks, magazines, news articles, essays, speeches, and even researchers
from different fields are often asked to present various facts and information that are purposeful
to the readers and listeners. It is known as Expository Text.
In this module, it will be emphasized that one of the most essential parts of learning
expository text is the enhancement of interpreting Non-verbal Materials such as tables, graphic

mental pictures that help them to remember important points and facts easily.

ACTIVITY 2

Directions: Read and understand the excerpt below and fill- in the balloons with the
different Filipino characteristics/traits mentioned in the text.

“The Filipino has often been accused of being indolent and of lacking initiative. And he has
answered back that no one can help being indolent and lacking in initiative who lives under the torrid sun
which saps vitality. This seeming lack of vitality is, however, only one of his means of survival. He does
not allow the world to be too much with him. Like the bamboo tree, he lets the winds of chance and
circumstances blow all about him; and he is unperturbed and serene.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Other
symptoms that are less common and may affect some patients include aches and pains, nasal
congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or a rash on skin
or discoloration of fingers or toes. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually.
Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms. Most people (about 80%)
recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. Around 1 out of every 5 people
who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and
those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart and lung problems,
diabetes, or cancer, are at higher risk of developing serious illness. However, anyone can catch
COVID-19 and become seriously ill. People of all ages who experience fever and/or cough
associated with difficulty breathing/shortness of breath, chest pain/pressure, or loss of speech or
movement should seek medical attention immediately. If possible, it is recommended to call the
health care provider or facility first, so the patient can be directed to the right clinic.
