The document discusses different patterns of development in writing across disciplines. It begins by defining four common patterns: definition, exemplification, description, and comparison/contrast. Examples of each pattern are provided. Students then complete activities to practice identifying these patterns in sample texts and writing paragraphs using each pattern. The goals are to understand how written texts can be organized differently depending on purpose and to be able to analyze patterns used in various readings. Students are assigned to write one paragraph for each of the four patterns as homework.

34. 1. This pattern helps the reader to create a picture as the
writer provides details, sharing his or her experience about
a particular topic.
2. This pattern gives a concept, idea or term clarity by
providing its meaning and some limiting or distinguishing
characteristics that sets it apart from other concepts, ideas
or terms.
3. This pattern presents the general statement and then
provides specific and concrete examples to expound on the
main idea.

36. The word quarantine is such a familiar one to almost everyone who are aware of
the pandemic today. According to the Merriam- Webster dictionary online, it is a
noun that has several meanings. It states that it is a period of 40 days. It may also
be a term during which a ship arriving in port and suspected of carrying contagious
disease is held in isolation from the shore. Also, it means a restraint upon the
activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to
prevent the spread of disease or pests. It is also defined as a state of enforced
isolation. For us, who have been in community quarantine for more or less three
months, we know that quarantine means staying at home and waiting for the
situation to be better. It is a condition wherein only those who have quarantine
pass are allowed to go out for essential needs of the family. For others, the
concept quarantine may also be equated to “no work, no pay” policy. Some may
define it as something needed for people who are sick or those who came from
places with COVID-19 cases. On the other hand, some probably sees quarantine
as something that takes away their right to see family, relatives and friends. To
sum it up, whatever or however we understand quarantine, we need to follow it as
a safety protocol since we are still fighting this pandemic.

37. There are several similarities and differences between being a senior and junior
high school student. Being a senior and junior high school student both require
you to study hard to be able to get desirable outputs and decent grades. Subjects
are equally important to be given attention. It’s just that some subject areas may
be easier to deal with depending on different factors. The subjects in senior high
school (SHS) and junior high school (JHS) differ in a way that SHS subjects are
more specific areas that are deemed essential for the track and strand you chose
while in JHS, subjects are the general ones that we have since first grade, just
increasing in complexity. Another similarity is that when you enter SHS and JHS,
you have to prepare yourself to be a responsible part of the institution that you will
enroll in. You should be ready to follow the policy that the school implements.
Being a “senior” high student doesn’t mean you are superior or anything and being
a “junior” high student doesn’t mean that you are under those in the SHS. The
difference comes when there may be slight changes in the way rules and
regulations are applied and the gravity of reprimands you may receive as you step
up to higher grade levels or as you encounter different situations. In general,
whether there are similarity or difference in being a Senior or Junior high school

38. I have a panda-like brother. He has round, chubby face and
tiny round eyes. The circles under his eyes add to that
panda look because of constantly wearing glasses. His
short, flat hair that perfectly fits his round face has white
and gray streaks already because of age. His hairy arms
were quite short for his size or maybe his weight makes
them seem shorter than I expect them to be. His big paw-
like hands were soft and cuddly. That’s why his nephews
and nieces love holding them. He gives them big warm hugs
whenever they visited him. He is one unique guy with a big
heart fit for a panda-looking bro

39. Social media allows people to connect easily, a factor that can allow
strangers to get close to you. An example of this technique came in July
2017 when a fake account circulated in spreading harmful software to
employees through their social media accounts. A so-called London-based
photographer named Mia Ash started gaining connections with corporate
employees. "Mia" has accounts across several popular platforms, allowing
her audience to grow rapidly. From this new wealth of people, she set off a
virus disguised as a harmless application. If the unsuspecting employee
clicked on the application, harmful files were released and the attacker
gained full access to the victim's system.
The case of Mia Ash demonstrates the increasing creativity of hackers.
Social media environments cause people to let their guards down, and as
a result, the cybercriminals close in.
