HOW DOES THE RAIN HAPPEN?
Rain is the primary source of
fresh water for most areas of the
world, providing suitable
conditions for diverse
ecosystems, as well as water for
hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is
actually a water circle. The
concept of the water cycle
involves the sun heating the
Earth's surface water and
causing the surface water to
evaporate.
The water vapor rises into the
Earth's atmosphere. The
water in the atmosphere
cools and condenses into
liquid droplets. The droplets
grow until they are heavy
and fall to the earth as
precipitation which can be
in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain
reaches the surface. Some
evaporates while falling
through dry air. This is called
virga, a phenomenon which
is often seen in hot, dry
desert regions.
What is an
explanation?
An explanation is used to
describe how things work and
why things happen. An
explanation tries to provide
answers to questions that the
reader (or listener) may have on
a certain subject. Explanations
are used to teach people new
information.
Explanations can:
describe how things work:
„how does a DVD player
work?'
describe why things
happen: „why are there
different seasons?'
show how things are similar
or different: „how do fresh
water and salt water differ?
How are they similar?'
try to solve a problem or
situation: „what is the fastest
way to clean my room?'.
Examples of explanations
Explanations seek to answer
questions about how things work in
nature and in the human world.
Some examples of questions that
might be answered in an
explanation include:
How does a camera work?
Structure of an explanation
An explanation can be
written or spoken. When
written, an explanation
needs a title or heading.
This will tell the reader what
the text is about.
The introductory paragraph
introduces the topic with a
general statement. This
paragraph explains what is
covered in the text.
The body paragraphs will use facts
to help answer the question stated
in the introduction. The body is also
called the explanation sequence.
This is the most important part of an
explanation and should be well
organized and easy to understand.
The conclusion ends
the explanation. This
paragraph is often
used to re-state the
problem and solution.
Explanations often have
visual imagery. This can
include photos, drawings,
diagrams and charts. Visual
imagery often makes the
text easier to understand
A glossary of terms might
also be part of an
explanation. Glossaries are
usually used for scientific or
technical explanations
The bibliography is a list
of resources, like books,
magazines and websites,
which were used to help
write the information
report.
Preparing your own explanation
 Before writing your own explanation it is
important to establish the question (or
problem) that you want to answer. It is
also important to research your subject to
help you better understand it. Make sure
you organize your information so that your
explanation is easy to understand
When writing an explanation it is
important to leave out your
personal thoughts and opinions.
Explanations use facts to provide an
answer to a problem or question. If
there are a lot of technical terms it
might be a good idea to put them
into a glossary.
 Always check your
text for correct
spelling, grammar
and punctuation
Assignment: In your
formal theme, write a
composition entitled,
“How to achieve My
Dreams in Life?”
Prepared by:
Merra Mae Ramos, LPT., MAEd.

English 7-4th Quarter Explanation Text

  • 1. HOW DOES THE RAIN HAPPEN? Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.
  • 2. The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate.
  • 3. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
  • 4. However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
  • 6. An explanation is used to describe how things work and why things happen. An explanation tries to provide answers to questions that the reader (or listener) may have on a certain subject. Explanations are used to teach people new information.
  • 7. Explanations can: describe how things work: „how does a DVD player work?' describe why things happen: „why are there different seasons?'
  • 8. show how things are similar or different: „how do fresh water and salt water differ? How are they similar?' try to solve a problem or situation: „what is the fastest way to clean my room?'.
  • 9. Examples of explanations Explanations seek to answer questions about how things work in nature and in the human world. Some examples of questions that might be answered in an explanation include: How does a camera work?
  • 10. Structure of an explanation An explanation can be written or spoken. When written, an explanation needs a title or heading. This will tell the reader what the text is about.
  • 11. The introductory paragraph introduces the topic with a general statement. This paragraph explains what is covered in the text.
  • 12. The body paragraphs will use facts to help answer the question stated in the introduction. The body is also called the explanation sequence. This is the most important part of an explanation and should be well organized and easy to understand.
  • 13. The conclusion ends the explanation. This paragraph is often used to re-state the problem and solution.
  • 14. Explanations often have visual imagery. This can include photos, drawings, diagrams and charts. Visual imagery often makes the text easier to understand
  • 15. A glossary of terms might also be part of an explanation. Glossaries are usually used for scientific or technical explanations
  • 16. The bibliography is a list of resources, like books, magazines and websites, which were used to help write the information report.
  • 17. Preparing your own explanation  Before writing your own explanation it is important to establish the question (or problem) that you want to answer. It is also important to research your subject to help you better understand it. Make sure you organize your information so that your explanation is easy to understand
