Let Us Study

Every day as we learn, we get to read a lot of informational/factual texts.


We need to stay updated with current events from these types of text. Being able to
understand their purpose and knowing how these texts are organized will help
improve your reading comprehension skill.

Activity 1: Textual Analysis

Read the informational text given below.

With the pandemic that the world has been
experiencing nowadays, I guess you are aware
that COVID-19, otherwise known as novel
coronavirus, has been dominating the world news
in which a lot of people die as it spreads quickly
across parts of the Philippines and the world at
large.

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience


mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring
special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical
problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory
disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

All About Bicycle

A bicycle, or bike, is a machine equipped with two wheels that is used for
getting you from one place to another. Its frame has handlebars for steering, a
seat, and two pedals. There are six main types of bicycles: utility, mountain,
hybrid, touring, racing, and bicycle motocross (BMX).

To ride a bicycle, the rider must first sit on the saddle and place the feet on
the pedals. Then, connect the pedals by a chain to the back wheel. Next, turn the
back wheel by pushing onto the pedals. This moves the bicycle forward. Finally,
the rider will steer by turning the handlebars or by leaning.

Bicycles may have coaster brakes or hand brakes. On a bicycle with coaster
brakes, a rider stops by pedaling backward. Whereas hand brakes are controlled
using levers on the handlebars. When a rider squeezes the levers, pads squeeze
against the wheels and the bicycle stops.
6
Millions of people around the world use and ride bicycles because they find
it an enjoyable and healthy hobby. Aside from that, it is also good for exercise,
for sport (called cycling), and for transportation.

Although riding your bicycle is one of the best and safest ways to commute,
exercise or travel, the problem is accidents might still sometimes happen when
you don’t use it with care. The key in handling or preventing the situation to
occur is to keep yourself safe all the time and be prepared, either by carrying a
small first aid kit or knowing what to do and who to call for help when it
happens.

Because of water shortage, public places like local restaurants and many
other places are forced to use little water for cleaning. In house settings, clean
drinking water is also hard to acquire. Lack of water also results in clogged
