● Academic writing requires a thorough and careful thought and that
is why you have to perform research to back up your content with
strong points and valid evidence from credible sources.
‘As Halliday (1973) argues, language is intrinsically social’.
● Perception about academic writing and academic text may
interchange, but the only clear-cut difference is that Academic Writing
is the field of discipline itself or the process involved in producing an
Academic Text, and thus an academic text is the product or the
literature itself.
● Academic writing and other kinds of writing may differ in terms of
audience, purpose, structure, language style, and writing convention.
47. ADD A FOOTER 47
● Academic writing strengthens researches and scientific studies on a
specific discipline or field of expertise, while other kinds of writing like
professional writing is focused on business correspondence and
professional documents. Whereas, non-academic is non-specific, they
it could cater the mass public to inform, entertain, and persuade but it
does not need to follow standard formality, language structure, writing
convention and style.
● Furthermore, it is the audience that influence the language in texts.
Your audience are different from one another depending on the
situation and environment in which a literary piece is used.
● Academic writing is done for academia, teachers and students,
researchers, and field experts such as scientists or historians.

Working on a computer may be easier

However, it doesn’t come without risks.
Using a computer for a long time can lead
to poor eyesight, muscle loosening, back

If you find yourself working or playing on
a computer quite regularly, take a few
steps to prevent these problems and
you’ll thank yourself later. To address this,
taking frequent breaks when you are
computing for a long time is
recommended. Specifically, you must get

our economy went to shambles in 2008. The
crisis was the result of a combination of
many complex factors. First, easy credit
conditions allowed people who were high risk
or unworthy of credit or borrow, and even
people who had no income were eligible for
large loans. Second, banks would bundle
these toxic loans and sell them as packages
on the financial market. Third, large insurance
firms backed these packages,
misrepresenting these high-risk loans as safe
investments. Fourth, because of the ease of
acquiring credit and the rapid growth of
housing market, people were buying two or
three houses, intending to sell them for more
than they paid. All these factors created
bubbles of speculations. These bubbles
burst, sending the whole market into a
downward spiral, causing employees to lose
capital and lay off employees. Consumer

2. All matter, all things can be changed
in two ways: chemically and physically.
Both chemical and physical changes
affect the state of matter. Physical
changes are those that do not change
the make-up or identity of the matter. For
example, clay will bend or flatten if
squeezed, but it will still be clay.
Changing the shape of clay is a physical
change and does not change the
matter’s identity. Chemical changes turn
the matter into a new kind of matter with
different properties. For example, when
paper is burnt, it becomes ash and will
never be paper again. The difference
between them is that physical changes
are temporary or only last for a little

zones. Seismic zones occur where
the plates of crust covering the
Earth’s surface meet each other.
Inside the Earth, the mantle is
always moving, which in turn
moves the plates. These plates
push against each other, building
up tension between them. When the
tension between plates becomes
too great, they grind against each

confused about mobile data and Wi-fi. Some
people think that they’re the same thing. Both
mobile data and Wi-fi allow you to connect to
the internet. However, there are some important
differences between them. Mobile data is
provided by the mobile phone company.
Whereas Wi-fi is comes through cable or phone
lines. Mobile data gives you internet access
anywhere that your phone can get a signal. But,
you can only get Wi-fi access when you are
near a router. Customers are usually given a
nearly unlimited amount of Wi-fi data, like an all

data is often sold in limited portions, like an
expensive restaurant. It is important to know
which you are using so that you aren’t charged

cat people and dog people. Which type are
you? Well, if you like a pet that is low
maintenance, you might be a cat person. Cats
are easier to take care of than dogs because
cats are very independent. Since they use litter
boxes, they do not have to be taken outside to
go potty like dogs. Also, cats clean themselves
while dogs need occasional baths. If you
prefer a pet that requires more attention, you
may be a dog person. Most dogs are very loyal
and obedient. You can play games like fetch or
tug of war with a dog. Dogs will also alert you
when someone is outside of your home

beautiful things, they are also dangerous.
Misusing fireworks can result in property
damage, injury, and even the loss of life.
Such accidents usually happen for one of
two reasons. The operators may be using
poorly manufactured products, such as
fireworks with fuses that burn too quickly. A
defective firework can cause even the most
skilled operator to have an accident. Other
times, however, it is the operator who is at
fault. The operator may be unskilled or
distracted and make a mistake, such as

129. TEXT STRUCTURE 129
● Text structure is the way an author arranges information in his writing to organize his
thoughts as he writes. It also helps the reader as it provides a structure in which information
can be found and understood while it is being read.
● There are five (5) types of text structure namely: Description, Problem and Solution,
Sequence, Cause and Effect, and Compare and Contrast.
● Compare and Contrast features a detailed description of something to give the reader a mental picture, while Problem
and Solution sets up a problem or problems, explains the solution, and then discusses the effects of the solution. On the
other hand, Sequence gives readers a chronology of events or a list of steps in a procedure, whereas, Cause and Effect
presents the causal relationship between a specific event, idea, or concept and the events, ideas, or concepts that follow.
Lastly, Compare and Contrast examines the similarities and differences between two or more people, events, concepts,
ideas, etc.
● Text structure contains signal words and signal questions.
● Text structure is essential because it will serve as guide for the reader to understand
what the author wants to communicate.

Summarizing has been a part of every student’s life.
That being said, you must have been asked to
summarize different kinds of academic texts. So, how
did you find it? Is summarizing tough due to longer
texts that you will have to read and analyze? If you find
it as an easy thing to do, well and good, this lesson
would help you enhance more on that learned skill.
Otherwise, this lesson is made just for YOU! Different
techniques and points to remember in the process of
summarizing will benefit you. Take this lesson as an
advantage, so learn and like it!

141. SUMMARY 141
It is the process of rewriting and
restating the original text into
shorter and concise piece of
writing. It involves synthesizing
the key or major concepts but
keeping the original message,
concepts, and relevant ideas from
the source text.
142. SUMMARY 142
● results of studies you are reporting on
● methods or approaches others have taken in an area you
are describing various researchers’/authors’ viewpoints on
given issues
● points you have made in an essay at any juncture or in a
conclusion
● contents of a text you are reviewing
● issues peripheral to your paper but necessary for
providing the context for your writing
● historical events leading to the event/issue/philosophy
you are
discussing.

● Deepens your understanding of the text.
● Learn to identify relevant information.
● Concentrate on the gist or main idea.
● Capture the key ideas in the text and put
them together clearly and concisely.
● Summaries can be used for annotation and
study notes as well as to expand the depth of
your writing.

in one well-developed sentence.
•Make sure that what you include in
your sentences are key points, not
minor details.
146. SUMMARY 146
Follow the order of ideas in the
original text.
•After stating the thesis, you should
mention the first main idea that you
come across and then major details that
back it up. Then you would mention the
second main idea and so on.
147. SUMMARY 147
Summary should be no more than
¼ the original text.
•It can be one sentence, one
paragraph or multiple paragraphs
depending on the length of the
original and your purpose for writing
the summary.
148. SUMMARY 148
Do not plagiarize or bring in your
personal opinion.

technology may also affect
children’s sociability. The use
of this technology may take

summary includes the
meaning of the original
passage, and does not
change the author’s purpose
or tone.

•A summary is shorter than the original
text.
•A paraphrase can be shorter or longer
than the original.
•A summary eliminates details, examples,

5 W's, 1 H HOW IT IS DONE?
The 5 W's, 1 H strategy relies on six
crucial questions: who, what, when,
where, why, and how. These
questions make it easy to identify
the main character, the important
details, and the main idea of any
texts like essays, reports, book
reviews, articles, and others.
● Who is the story about?
● What did they do?
● When did the action take place?
● Where did the story happen?
● Why did the main character do that?
● How did the main character do that?
Then, use the answers to the 5 W's and
1 H to write a summary of in complete
sentences.

•Tortoise got tired of listening to
Hare boast about how fast he was,
so he challenged Hare to a race.
Even though he was slower than
Hare, Tortoise won by keeping up
his slow and steady pace when
Hare stopped to take a nap.
155. SUMMARY 155
Somebody Wanted But So Then HOW IT IS DONE?
This method is found to be useful in
summarizing a narrative text or retelling a
story that most students normally do. Each
word represents a key question related to
the story's essential elements:
Somebody: Who is the story about?
Wanted:What does the main charater want?
But:Identify a problem that the main
character encountered.
So:How does the main character solve the
problem?
Then:Tell how the story ends.
Somebody: Little Red Riding Hood
Wanted: She wanted to take cookies to her sick
grandmother.
But: She encountered a wolf pretending to be her
grandmother.
So: She ran away, crying for help.
Then: A woodsman heard her and saved her from the
wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood wanted to take cookies to her
sick grandmother, but she encountered a wolf. He got
to her grandmother’s house first and pretended to be
the old woman. He was going to eat Little Red Riding
Hood, but she realized what he was doing and ran
away, crying for help. A woodsman heard the girl’s cries
and saved her from the wolf.
156. SUMMARY 156
SAAC Method HOW IT IS DONE?
The SAAC method is another useful technique for
summarizing any kind of text (story, article, book
report, speech, etc). SAAC is an acronym for
"State, Assign, Action, Complete."
This method is particularly helpful for students
who are learning the format of a summary and
need reminders to include the title and author's
name. However, SAAC does not include clear
guidance about which details to include. If you
use SAAC, keep in mind the types of details that
belong in a summary as mentioned in the above
lesson.
● State: name of the article,
book, or story
● Assign: the name of the
author
● Action: what the author is
doing (example: tells, explains)
● Complete: complete the
sentence or summary with
keywords and important details
157. SUMMARY 157
•“The Boy Who Cried Wolf," by Aesop (a
Greek storyteller), tells what happens
when a shepherd boy repeatedly lies to
the villagers about seeing a wolf. After a
while, they ignore his false cries. Then,
when a wolf really does attack, they
don’t come to help him.

● Summarizing is important to students like you, for it teaches how to write
briefly and concisely a large text and to reduce it for easier understanding of
the main concepts and ideas.
● You now learned that summarizing is not simply paraphrasing a text,
rather rewriting the text in fewer words without compromising the message
and the ideas.
● Summarizing requires a thorough and careful readings to be able to
determine the relevant ideas and information from a large text. It allows you
to focus on key terms that are worth knowing.

essays, researches, scientific studies on a specific discipline or any field of
expertise. You may have found out that the use of different techniques in
summarizing could be of great help in your writing—making it well-done and
easily done.

It is currently unclear where the virus has come
from. Originally, the virus was understood to have
originated in a food market in Wuhan and
subsequently spread from animal to human. Some
research has claimed that the cross-species
transmission may be between snake and human;
however, this claim has been contested. Mammals
such as camels and bats have been implicated in

• Outlining is an important skill for any student to learn and develop. It teaches you how to
organize ideas from a larger context and reduce it to a more substantial, meaningful and
understandable manner. It makes comprehension more effective by presenting the
essential parts of texts, the sections that are subordinate to the main idea, and how they
are related to one another.
• You learned that there are different types of outlining: a reading outline and a writing
outline. You have learned the importance of both, as to how and when to use them. A
reading outline presents the main ideas of the texts that are already written which help
one to better understand more critically how the author connects and sequences the
information in the reading text. You could also make outlining more interesting, fun, and
visual by using an informal outline, whenever possible.
• Furthermore, the skill in writing a reading outline helps students like you in doing
research studies and other scholarly works; like essays, research papers, and scientific
studies, by making the texts manageable and organized! It would allow you to thoroughly
and carefully read texts and determine the relevant ideas to focus on; those that are just
essential and worth knowing.

FEMINIST
CRITICISM “It is also worth mentioning that there are
women in the society that may sometimes
seem unseen and ordinary but greatly
impact the lives of others. Just like the
stepsisters of Cinderella, without them, the
stepmother could have loved Cinderella as
her own or may not even marry Cinderella’s
father at all.” (Cinderella Story)

FORMALISTIC
CRITICISM “Therefore, the choice of the road
symbolized any choice in life that affects the
future. In this poem, there is repetition and
overstatement. The repetition can be seen
in the fourth stanza line 18 “Two roads
diverged in a wood” and overstatement can
be seen in line 17 “Somewhere ages and
ages hence.” It means that, the speaker
wants to show how the choice can affect his
life in the future.” (The Road Not Taken by
Robert Frost)

“While I was reading the story, one

every individual item weighs?” (The

“The top deck scene is a great example of how the class
difference is shown in Titanic, in this scene everyone is
dressed in either top hat and tails or in a gown, while
Jack is wearing tatty clothing, suitable for his class and
is the only one slouching, you can see how the idea that
the upper class members are sat up straight where jack

258. CONCEPT 258
Negation is usually in a
negative statement.
Sometimes it is called
elimination.
Example: A ballpen is not a
kitchen utensil.
259. CONCEPT 259
Analysis is telling what steps comprise a
process, or what functional parts make
up a device.
Example: A ballpen has a cup to cover
the tip of it. The body of the
ball pen contains the ink.
260. CONCEPT 260
Derivation is the information about the origin of a
word.
Example:
‘Pen” originated from the Old French word for
feather, ‘penne’, and from the Latin ‘penna’,
because long ago pens were made
from feathers, with the end of the feather
sharpened to form a ‘nib.’
261. CONCEPT 261
Description is telling the readers what the
term looks like.
Example: A ballpoint pen, also known as a
biro or ball pen, is a pen that dispenses ink
(usually in paste form) over a metal ball at
its point, i.e. over a "ball point." The metal
commonly used is steel, brass, or tungsten
carbide.
262. CONCEPT 262
Analogy points out the similarities
between two unlike or different things.
Example: A ballpen is like a human
emotion that can express feelings
through writing.
263. CONCEPT 263
Comparison and Contrast compares and stresses the difference
between the things compared.
Example: A pen is made up of a plastic covering that holds the
ink
inside and it usually comes in many colors. Blue and black being
the
most common. On the contrast, pencils are made out of wood
and
come with a rubber eraser on the tip and unlike pen it only
comes in
