7. In the previous lesson you have learned that
humans are capable of being biased and prejudiced;
thus, living in this world compels maximum
adaptability skills.
Expressing one’s views and opinions in a diverse
society may kindle arguments. Some may agree, yet
some may also argue on your perceptions. Indeed, you
cannot please everyone; therefore, open mindedness is
one key that would make you survive in a world of
diversity.

8. Read the following text.
Question: Is the claim made convincing or not?

10.  Do you think the claim of the writer is
strong?Why or why not?
 Notice that the claim was backed up by
citingWHO Philippines thereby weakening
the points of the claim thatTuob can be used
against COVID 19.

11.  Argumentative text is used when you are arguing for
or against a claim or when you are trying to persuade
someone to agree with your point of view. It does not
just present information, but also shows the pros and
cons of an issue.
Thus, most of the time an argumentative paragraph is
alternatively called a persuasive paragraph.

12.  A persuasive paragraph tries to convince the
reader that a particular point of view is worthy of
consideration. It wants you to consider both sides
of an issue, but it reveals a bias in favor of one
side over another. Facts may be presented in
support of a position, but the writer is not being
objective.The point of view is subjective.

13.  In extracting information from an argumentative text, you
must be able to note the issue and the supporting and
opposing opinions about the issue. Therefore, you must
be familiar with the parts of an argumentative text.
