Person A Person B
1. For you, which of the two definition is convincing?
2. Do you agree with the given definition of love? Justify your
answer

5. Different types of text
1. Factual texts – inform, instruct
or persuade the reader or
listener by giving facts or
information. The reader or
listener wants to know
something about a particular
subject so they should give
useful information and focus on
facts.

6. Examples of factual texts are
new reports, interviews,
recipes, records of history,
and instructions.
•You often heard news
reports over the radio, or
television, read them in the
newspaper or hear what
happened from reliable
sources. While reading or
listening to a news report,
you are already activating
your knowledge about the
information.

7. Literary texts – are pieces of
writing that tell a story or
entertain. They engage
reader/listener to respond
emotionally by using creative
language to paint pictures
through words (imagery). They
include nondramatic works with
or without illustrations,
published or unpublished.
Examples of literary texts are
fiction, nonfiction, manuscripts,
poetry, dissertations, theses,
speeches, pamphlets, brochures
and advertisements.

8. Characteristics
of literary text:
• Include characters, setting, plot
(problem/solution), and
sequence.
• These characteristics help the
reader understand whole in the
story, where and when the
story takes place, what happens
in the story and how the events
happen.

9. 2. Persuasive text vs. Discussion Text
Persuasive text/writing offers the
opportunity to convince the
reader/listener to adopt a
particular viewpoint or to believe
in what the writer is telling. It is
very in ad campaigns wherein
they are marketing/selling a
certain product, and they are
convincing you to buy their
product. Ads can be also be used
in several situations as well like
reminders or election campaigns.

10. Discussion text/content also known
as argumentative text/content
presents an issue surrounding a
particular topic- usually one that is
debatable and open to arguments.
In here, the writer needs to discuss
both sides of the issue to make sure
that you researched and gathered
enough information about the
topic.

11. •To know if the information
presented by the writer is valid
or not, you need to extract the
supporting (pros) and
opposing issue.
•Many writers use
argumentative content to
persuade the readers or
listeners to their points of
view.
•The information may influence
you to believe certain ideas
and push you to take some
