ACTIVITY:

Activity 3: Digging the Text

Directions: Read and understand the paragraph below then answer the following questions.

Nicotine has various effects on the body. In small doses nicotine serves as a nerve stimulant, entering
the bloodstream and promoting the flow of adrenaline, a stimulating hormone. It speeds up the
heartbeat and may cause it to become irregular. It also raises the blood pressure and reduces the
appetite, and it may cause nausea and vomiting. The known health risks associated with cigarette
smoking, such as damage to the lungs and lung cancer, are thought to be caused by other components
of cigarettes such as tars and other by-products of smoking, and by the irritating effects of smoke on
the lung tissue. Addiction to smoking is caused by nicotine itself. Stopping smoking produces
withdrawal symptoms within 24 to 48 hours, which commonly include irritability, headaches, and
anxiety, in addition to the strong desire to smoke.

APPLICATION:

Activity 5: Making Generalization

Directions: Make a general statement on each of the following passages. Write your answer on the
space provided.
1. Each letter in Spanish generally represents one sound while a letter in English may represent
many sounds. The letter in Spanish is always pronounced "ee" (as in the Spanish word isla).
The same letter in English represents many sounds, as in the words island, Indian, and
machine. In addition, Spanish has some symbols which English does not use. For example,
Spanish includes accent marks on some vowels (television). English words do not have accent
marks (television). Spanish has an upside-down question mark before questions (Vienes?), but
English does not (Are you coming?).

2. Formal letters are written to businesses, schools, or government offices. Informal letters are for
relatives, friends, or former teachers. You may write an informal letter by hand, but you should
type a formal letter. An informal letter can be as long as you want it to be whereas a formal
letter should be short, two or three paragraphs. You should use formal language in letters to
businesses but informal language in letters to your friends. For example, in a formal letter you
may say, "I would appreciate your sending me the materials which I have requested." In an
informal letter you may say, "Please send me the papers I asked you for."

oxygen change some vitamins. If vegetables are cooked, the heat changes some of the
vitamins. Then these vitamins are no longer healthful. For instance, broiling grapefruit destroys
some of its vitamin C. Finally, people sometimes throw away the part of a plant which has the
most vitamins. For example, when flour is processed, the wheat germ, which is very rich in
vitamins, is lost.
