textbooks and decide whether they
are Expository or Explanation text
types. Write your answers on the
Workbook and give reasons for your
answers.

Introduction
BODY
Conclusion
(This is optional)
A general statement that
defines or classifies a
topic/thing.
Paragraphs with detailed
information describing
different aspects of the
topic or thing.
Some Information Reports may
have a conclusion, usually in the
form of a concluding statement or
summary about the topic or thing.
37. Vocabulary
• endemic – belongs to a particular region or country
• critically endangered – living things with an extremely high risk of
becoming extinct in the wild
• extinct - having no living members; no longer in existence.
• wingspan - the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip
• unique - one of its kind; unlike anything else
• plumage – all the feathers covering a bird
• apex predator - an animal at the top of the food chain that kills and eats
other animals but is not normally eaten by any other animals
• habitat – the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other
organism
• conservation - protecting Earth's natural resources for current and
future generations
38. The Philippine Eagle
The monkey-eating eagle, also known as the Great Philippine Eagle or Haribon, is a majestic bird that is
endemic to the Philippines. It is a critically endangered species, which means it is in danger of becoming
extinct.
The Philippine Eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. It has a wingspan that can
reach up to 2 meters and a length of around 1 meter. This eagle has a unique appearance, with striking
blue-grey eyes, a brown and white plumage, and a distinctive crest on its head.
The Philippine eagle is an apex predator and was known initially as the monkey-eating eagle because it was
believed to feed only on monkeys. However, its diet includes other mammals such as flying lemurs, tree
squirrels, civets, fruit bats, and rats. It also preys on birds and reptiles, even large snakes, and lizards, in
some locations.
The Philippine eagle can be found on four major islands: eastern Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao. The
largest numbers of eagles reside on Mindanao. They live mainly in steep or rugged forest areas, from the
lowlands to mountains.
Its population has drastically declined due to habitat loss from logging and expanding agriculture. Illegal
hunting, mining, pollution, and exposure to pesticides that affect breeding are also major threats.
Conservation efforts are being made to protect these magnificent birds and their habitats. The Philippine
government, along with various organizations, is working to raise awareness and enforce laws to ensure
their survival.

CONCLUSION
53. Instructional texts are another type of text that conveys
information on how to do something. It includes texts
like:
• Recipes
• Instruction manuals to help you build or install or use
something
• Web pages that tell you how to register or apply for
something
• Instructions for taking medicines
• Instructions for doing something like playing a video
game.
54. In this lesson, we are going to look at an
instructional text on what to do if you lose your cell
phone and we are going to see how it works so that
when you get a text to read that you have not seen
before you know:
• whether it is an Instructional text
• how it works – its parts or structure – how it starts
and then how the rest of it is organized
• where its most important information is located.
55. Remember that Instructional texts usually have a structure of three major components:
A heading or title that describes the purpose of
the instructions
Things needed to perform the task.
Steps in the order that they need to be
done to achieve the outcome.
1
2
3
56. However, in cases like texts that
give instructions about what to
do if you lose your cell phone,
Component 2 may not be needed.
58. Here are some key words from the text. Let’s say each word together.
• public transportation – buses or trains
• Tracking App – a program that allows a cell phone to be located
wherever the owner goes
• Service Provider - the internet company to which the phone is
connected
• SIM card – a smart card inside the cell phone that carries
identification information
• two-factor authentication – a password and one other way of
identification – e.g., a thumb print or an email address
• IMEI number – The International Mobile Equipment Identity
Number, usually 15 digits long, that all cell phones have.
59. Instructions on what to do if you lose your cell phone
Losing your cell phone can be a stressful experience, but it's important to act quickly and
follow these steps.
1. Stay Calm: Take a deep breath and try to stay calm. Panicking can make it harder to think
clearly and take the necessary steps to recover or secure your phone.
2. Retrace Your Steps: Think back to where you last had your phone and retrace your steps.
Check the areas you visited, including any nearby locations, such as stores, restaurants, or
public transportation.
3. Use a Friend's Phone: If you have access to a friend's or family member's phone, use it to
call your lost phone. Listen for the ringtone or vibration to help locate it. If someone answers,
explain the situation and ask if they can help you retrieve it.
4. Use a Tracking App: If you have a tracking app installed on your phone, such as Find My
iPhone (iOS) or Find My Device (Android), use it to locate your device's last known location.

5. Contact Your Service Provider: Call your cellular service provider and inform them about
the loss. They can suspend your service temporarily to prevent unauthorized usage and assist
you with any additional steps, such as blocking the SIM card.
60. 6. Change Passwords and Secure Accounts: If your phone contained sensitive
information or had access to your email, social media, or banking accounts, change
the passwords immediately to prevent unauthorized access. Enable two-factor
authentication for added security.
7. File a Police Report: If you believe your phone was stolen or lost in a suspicious
circumstance, it's advisable to file a police report. Provide them with all the
relevant details, including the make, model, and serial number of your phone.
8. Inform Friends and Family: Let your close contacts know that you have lost your
phone, especially if you suspect it may have been stolen. This can help prevent any
unauthorized usage or attempts to impersonate you.

situations. Losing a phone is unfortunate, but by acting quickly and following these
steps, you can increase the chances of recovering it or safeguarding your personal

So far this week, we have been revising texts that convey information and have focused on Expository texts.
In this lesson, we are going to look in detail at a Recount and see how it is different to a Narrative. We are going to read a recount about a big event in the Philippines that happened just before the pandemic in 2020. We are then going to compare it with a narrative we read earlier in the week.
