Let’s Try This
Let’s Learn This
In form and feature, face and limb,
I grew so like my brother
That folks got taking me from him
And each for one another
One day (to make the matter worse)
Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed.

• Is it easy to make guesses?
o It can be very easy if you will make use of the pattern of
events.
o They will serve as clue.
Let’s read the paragraph below.
Let’s Study This
Chona read the notice on the bulletin board about a
tryout for a National Heroes Day play. She wanted to be in that
play! She was in grade six and wanted to graduate with
honors. Her grades from grade one had often been the highest
in her class, and she knew she had a chance to graduate as
one of the top three. But it was not enough to have high
grades. She had to show leadership and be active in curricular
activities. She wasn’t worried about leadership. She was the
president of the Reading Club.

4. 51
• What will Chona do after reading the notice?
o She will probably proceed to the tryout.
• Why do you think she will do this?
• What if she will not be in the honor list?
The phrase/sentence that says:
She wasn’t worried about leadership.
She was the president of the Reading Club.
The two sentences give us the signal that she is assured of the
leadership award.
So, even if she will join the tryout she would still be in the honor
list.
You have drawn guesses based on the events presented. These
are called conclusions. The skill is on drawing conclusions.
This time let us try if you can draw conclusion out of the events.
Let’s Do This
The boys fell on the food. They ate as they did at
home where everyone sat on the floor and ate from
banana leaves. The boys reached out across each other
for food, smelled the strange foods first, and spat out
what they didn’t like.
Efren was just as ignorant as the other boys. But
one swift glance had assured him that there was more
than enough food-that there was no need to grab. He
looked at the queen. Why, she was spreading a white
square of cloth on her lap! She was using the metal
tools near her plate to cut the meat and put a piece into
her mouth.

5. 52
1. What did Efren do after observing the queen?
a. He followed as the boys did.
b. He followed what the queen did.
c. He did not eat at all.
2. If the queen were to choose a boy who would live in the palace to
be trained as the prince, who would she choose?

behind the sacks made her jump on top of the
nearest thing she could feel.
