We are first year Bachelor of Science in Development Communication students of the College of
Agriculture, Food, and Sustainable Development, Mariano Marcos State University. This semester, we
are enrolled in English 2 (Writing in the Discipline), which requires us to develop a research paper
entitled Strengths and Limitations of Development Communication Students’ Practices in Enhancing
their English Grammar competency. This study seeks to determine the strengths and limitations of the
practices of Development Communication students in enhancing their English grammar competency.
Cognizant of the presence of Development Communication students, we have chosen our
college as locale of our study. As such, may we request your permission to gather pertinent data from 30
of your students who have been enrolled in Development Communication through an interview during
their most convenient time. A copy of our or interview scheduled is attached for your perusal. We
assure you that all data sets to be provided by our respondents will be exclusively used for academic
purposes; hence, they will be treated with utmost confidentiality
With your cooperation in this endeavor, Sir, you will certainly reinforce our learning experiences
in research paper writing. As soon as we are done with the expected outputs of our study, we will share
you a copy of our manuscript.
Respectfully yours,

DINGRAS
The town was said to have derived from the names of Ding and Ras. Ding
was the son of a chieftain called Naaslag, who ruled the northern part of the
river of Dingras. Ras, on the other hand, was the daughter of Allawigan, the
chief of the southern part of the river. At one time, these two chiefs were in
perennial war with each other. One day, son Ding defeated the warriors of
Allawigan. Ding took Ras as his prize from the conquered northern ruler and
married her. The union ended the feud between naaslag and allaawigan. As the
two kingdoms merged as one great power in the valley, their pace became
known henceforth as DINGRAS.
