Back of the smokehouse into the lot,
And across the filed.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
All of a sudden I saw him standing,
Scared to death, holding his rabbits,
And all I could say was, “Don’t, Don’t Don’t,”

Situation 2 – below is an excerpt from John F.
Kennedy’s “Inaugural Address.” Read the excerpt
and answer the questions that follows
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine,
will rest the final success or failure of our course.
Since this country as founded, each generation of
Americas has been summoned to give testimony to
its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans
into answered the call to service surround the
globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to
bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to
battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear
the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and
year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation,” a
struggle against the common enemies of many
tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and
global alliance, North and South, East and West,
that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?
Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few
generations have been granted the role of
defending freedoms in its hour of maximum danger.
I do not shrink responsibility; I welcome it. I do not
believe that any of us would exchange places with
any other people with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotions
which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that
fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your
country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world, ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we can
do for the freedom of man.

known for his appearance on “The Ed Sullivan
Show,” where young singer gyrated as he sang
“rock n’ roll” music. During the live television

contract. The movie critics were not always kind,
but teenagers flocked to Presley’s films. Within a
few short years, Presley had established a career

Monster, crawling the carpets of the world,
Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions greens and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on
The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break
Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. And night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.

Situation 5 – Ang sumusunod ay isang talumpati na
may pamagat na SA KABATAAN
na isinulat ni Onofre Pagsanghan
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang
Pilipino ay salitang NABANSOT. Kapag ang isang
bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito’y tumigil
na sa paglaki, ang bagay na ito raw ay
NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ngpagkabansot ngunit
ang pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang ng isipan,
ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng pagklaki,
ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang paglaki at
pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan. Hindi lamang
ng atinmg sukat at timbang. Kung ga-poste man
ang ating at ga-pison man angating bigat ngunit
kung ang pag-iisip namat nati’y ga-kulisap lamang
kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man
tayong tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong
bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama’y tulad ni
“bondying” ay di pagkatiwalaan anong laking
kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawang
“Tarza” at mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng
kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama’y
itim na duwende ng kasamaan anong kapinsalaan
para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng
inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa kanya
sa lagnit ng kaganaan at karangalan o hihila sa
kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang
panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi
sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay tumatawid tayong
palangit o bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-
tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong kung ano
raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan.
Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng
ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay
bigla tayong maging mga dalubhasang
magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing
makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaan at
kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas bigla
tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay
na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng pagnarap
wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig
ay nasa pawis ng gawa.

kawayan.
TEORYANG DING DONG Lahat ng bagay may
sariling tunog na siyang kumakatawan sa bawat isa
at ang tunog niyon ang siyang ginagad ng mga
sinaunang tao na kalauna’y nagpabago-bago at
nilapatan ng iba’t ibang kahulugan.
TEORYANG DING DONG May sariling tunog na
kumakatawan sa lahat ng bagay sa kapaligiran.
Tinawag din ito ni Max Muller na simbolismo ng
tunog. Halimbawa: tsug- tsug ng tren, tik- tak ng
orasan.
TEORYANG POOH -POOH Nakalilikha ng tunog
sanhi ng bugso ng damdamin. Gamit ang bibig,
napabubulalas ang mga tunog ng pagdaing na dala
ng takot, lungkot, galit, saya at paglalaan ng lakas.
TEORYANG TA-RA-RA- BOOM DE AY- Ang wika
ng tao ay nag –ugat sa mga tunog na kanilang
nilikha sa mga ritwal na kalauna’y nagpapabagu-
bago at nilapatan ng iba’t ibang kahulugan.
Halimbawa: pagsayaw, pagsigaw at incantation o
mga bulong na ginagawa tuwing makikidigma,
pagtatanim at iba pa.
TEORYANG SING-SONG- Iminungkahi ng
linggwistang si Jesperson na ang wika ay nagmula
sa paglalaro, pagtawa, pagbulong sa sarili,
panliligaw at iba pang mga bulalas- emosyunal.
Iminungkahi pa niya na taliwas sa iba pang teorya,
ang mga unang salita ay sadyang mahahaba at
musikal, at hindi maiikling bulalas na
pinaniniwalaan ng marami.
TORE NG BABEL Teoryang nahalaw mula sa
Banal na Kasulatan. Nagkaroon ng panahon
kungsaan ang wika ay iisa lamang. Napag-isipang
magtayo ng isang tore upang hindi na
magkawatak-watak at nang mahigitan ang
Panginoon. Nang malaman ito ng Panginoon,
bumababa Siya at sinira ng tore. Nang nawasak na
ang tore, nagkawatak-watak na ang tao dahil iba-
iba na ang wikang kanilang binibigkas kaya
nagkanya-kanya na sila at kumalat sa mundo.
TEORYANG YOO HE YO- Pinaniniwalaan ng
linggwistang si A.S Diamond (2003) na ang tao ay
natutong magsalita bunga diumano ng kanyang
puwersang pisikal.
Page | 51
TEORYANG TA -TA Ayon sa teoryang ito, ang
kumpas o galaw ng kamay ng tao na kanyang
ginagawa sa bawat partikular na okasyon ay ginaya
ng dila at naging sanhi ng pagkatuto ng taong
lumikha ng tunog at kalauna’y nagsalita. Tinatawag
itong ta-tana sa wikang Pranses ay
nangangahulugang paalam o goodbye sapagkat
kapag ang isang tao nga namang nagpapaalam ay
kumakampay ang kamay nang pababa at pataas
katulad ng pagbaba at pagtaas na galaw ng dila
kapag binibigkas ang salitang ta-ta.
Teoryang Mama - Nagmula ang wika sa mga
pinakamadadaling pantig ng pinakamahahalagang
bagay. Pansinin nga naman ang mga bata. Sa
una’ y hindi niya masasabi ang salitang mother
ngunit dahil ang unang pantig ng nasabing salita
ang pinakamahalaga diumano, una niyang
nasasabi ang mama bilang panumbas sa salitang
mother.
Teoryang Hey you - Iminungkahi ng linggwistang
si Revesz na bunga ng interpersonal na kontak ng
tao sa kanyang kapwa tao ang wika. Ayon kay
Revesz, nagmula ang wika sa mga tunog na
nagbabadya ng pagkakakilanlan (Ako!) at
pagkakabilang (Tayo!). Napapabulalas din tayo
bilang pagbabadya ng takot, galit o sakit (Saklolo!).
Tinatawag din itong teoryang kontak.
Teoryang Coo Coo - Ang wika ay nagmula sa mga
tunog na nalilikha ng mga sanggol. Ang mga tunog
daw na ito ang ginaya ng mga matatanda bilang
pagpapangalan sa mga bagay- bagay sa paligid,
taliwas sa paniniwala ng marami na ang mga bata
ang nanggagaya ng tunog ng mga matatanda.
Teoryang Babble Lucky - Ang wika raw ay
nagmula sa mga walang kahulugang bulalas ng
tao. Sa pagbubulalas ng tao, sinuwerte lamang
daw siya nang ang mga hindi sinasadya at walang
kabuluhang tunog na kanyang nalikha ay naiugnay
sa mga bagay-bagay sa paligid na kalaunan ay
naging pangalan ng mga iyon.
Teoryang Hocus Pocus - Ayon kay Boeree
(2003), maaaring ang pinanggalingan ng wika ay
tulad ng pinanggalingan ng mga mahikal o
relihiyosong aspeto ng pamumuhay ng ating mga
ninuno. Maaari raw kasing noo’y tinatawag ng
mga unang tao ang mga hayop sa pamamagitan ng
mga mahikal na tunog na kalaunan ay naging
pangalan ng bawat hayop.
Teoryang Eureka! Sadyang inimbento/nilikha
ang wika ayon sa teoryang ito ayon kay (Boeree,
2003). Maaari raw na ang ating mga ninuno ay
may ideya ng pagtatakda ng mga arbitraryong
tunog upang ipakahulugan sa mga tiyak na
bagay. Nang ang mga ideyang iyon ay nalikha,
mabilis na iyong kumalat sa iba pang tao at naging
kalakaran sa pagpapangalan ng mga bagay-
bagay.

follows:
Cell wall is the outermost rigid
covering of the plant cell. It is a
salient feature of plant cell.
Cell membrane or the plasma
membrane is the outer lining of the
cell inside the cell wall.
Cytosol or cytoplasm is the gel-like
matrix inside the cell membrane
which constitutes all other cell
organelles.
Nucleus is the control center of the
cell. It is a membrane bound structure
which contains the hereditary material
of the cell - the DNA
Chloroplast is a plastid with green
pigment chlorophyll. It traps light
energy and converts it to chemical
energy by the process of
photosynthesis.
Mitochondria carries out cellular
respiration and provides energy to the
cells.
Vacuoles are the temporary storage
center of the cell.
Golgi body is the unit where proteins
are sorted and packed.
Ribosomes are structures that
assemble proteins.
Endoplasmic reticulum are
membrane covered organelles that
transport materials.
The parts of the animal cell are as
follows:
Cell membrane
• It is a semi-permeable barrier,
allowing only a few molecules to
move across it.
• Electron microscopic studies of cell
Page | 83
membrane shows the lipid bi-layer
model of the plasma membrane, it
also known as the fluid mosaic
model.
• The cell membrane is made up of
phospholipids which has
polar(hydrophillic) heads and non-
polar (hydrophobic) tails.
Cytoplasm
• The fluid matrix that fills the cell is
the cytoplasm.
• The cellular organelles are
suspended in this matrix of the
cytoplasm.
• This matrix maintains the pressure
of the cell, ensures the cell doesn't
shrink or burst.
Nucleus
• Nucleus is the house for most of the
cells genetic material- the DNA and
RNA.
• The nucleus is surrounded by a
porous membrane known as the
nuclear membrane.
• The RNA moves in/out of the
nucleus through these pores.
• Proteins needed by the nucleus
enter through the nuclear pores.
• The RNA helps in protein synthesis
through transcription process.
• The nucleus controls the activity of
the cell and is known as the control
center.
• The nucleolus is the dark spot in the
nucleus, and it is the location for
ribosome formation.
Ribosomes
• Ribosomes is the site for protein
synthesis where the translation of the
RNA takes place.
• As protein synthesis is very
important to the cell, ribosomes are
found in large number in all cells.
• Ribosomes are found freely
suspended in the cytoplasm and also
are attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum
• ER is the transport system of the
cell. It transports molecules that need
certain changes and also molecules
to their destination.
• ER is of two types, rough and
smooth.
• ER bound to the ribosomes appear
rough and is the rough endoplasmic
reticulum; while the smooth ER do
not have the ribosomes.
Lysosomes
• It is the digestive system of the cell.
• They have digestive enzymes helps
in breakdown the waste moelcules
and also help in detoxification of the
cell.
• If the lysosomes were not
membrane bound the cell could not
have used the destructive enzymes.
Centrosomes
• It is located near the nucleus of the
cell and is known as the 'microtubule
organizing center' of the cell.
• Microtubules are made in the
centrosome.
• During mitosis the centrosome aids
in dividing of the cell and moving of
the chromosome to the opposite
sides of the cell.
Vacuoles
Page | 84
• They are bound by single
membrane and small organelles.
• In many organisms vacuoles are
storage organelles.
Vesicles are smaller vacuoles which
function for transport in/out of the
cell.

molecules from the rough ER by
dividing them into smaller units with
membrane known as vesicles.
• They are flattened stacks of
membrane-bound sacs.

organelle.
• It is an organelle which is
independent as it has its own
hereditary material.
Peroxisomes
• Peroxisomes are single membrane
bound organelle that contain
oxidative enzymes that are digestive
in function.

microfilament fibres.
• They give structural support and
maintain the shape of the cell.
Cilia and Flagella
• Cilia and flagella are structurally
identical structures.
• They are different based on the
function they perform and their
length.
• Cilia are short and are in large
number per cell while flagella are
longer and are fewer in number.
• They are organelles of movement.
• The flagellar motion is undulating
and wave-like whereas the ciliary
movement is power stroke and
recovery stroke.

Famous Scientists
Archimedes of Syracuse (287 - 212
BC)
Due to the fact that Archimedes was
a person with multiple interests,
including math, physics, astronomy
and engineering, he managed to
become a successful inventor. He
became famous for his innovative
thinking and was the one to come up
with a lot of innovative machines,
including the Archimedes screw that
is still used today to pump liquids,
coal, grain and more. But probably
his most famous discovery is the way
of finding the volume of objects that
have an irregular shape. It is worth
mentioning that most of his works
were meant to help his home city.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
Leonardo Da Vinci was a great
inventor, being fond of engineering,
astronomy, aeronautics, mathematics
and more. His drawings include a
number of various inventions, the
basics of which more or less can be
found in different technologies today.
Da Vinci is considered to be the
father of modern science. Some of
his most important inventions include
the hydraulic machine, the boat and
design of a flying machine.
Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647)
The famous Italian physicist and
mathematician is the author of the
barometer (scientific tool used in the
field of meteorology to estimate
atmospheric pressure), built in 1643.
It would be interesting to note that a
Page | 87
number of Italian Navy submarines
were named after the inventor.
Ferdinand Verbiest (1623 - 1688)
Verbiest was an astronomer and a
mathematician. He was the one to
invent the world's first automobile.
The inventor came up with the idea to
create an automobile while visiting
China as a missionary. His
automobile was powered by steam,
but could not carry humans.
Karl Drais (1785 - 1851)
The German inventor is the author of
the Laufmaschine (German for

represented the first means of
transport to use the two-wheeler
principle and the starting point of the
mechanized personal transport.
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)
The famous French chemist and
microbiologist was the one who has
come up with the process of

length of time, and then cooling it
instantly. Pasteurization is used today
to slow the development of
microorganisms in food.
Levi Strauss (1829 - 1902)
Everyone knows that jeans were
invented in the United States, some
know that Levi Strauss was the
author of this invention but few know
that Strauss was an immigrant from

Francisco, California the world's first
firm to manufacture blue jeans. The
company called Levi Strauss & Co.,
started its operation back in 1853.
Gottlieb Daimler (1834 - 1900)
Daimler is another representative of
German intelligentsia, being an
engineer, industrial designer and
industrialist. He was the first to
develop internal-combustion engine
and a pioneer in the field of
automobile development. Daimler is
the author of the first high-speed
petrol engine and the world's first
four-wheel vehicle.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845 -
1923)

This invention allowed the German
scientist to win the first Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1901
Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931)
He is the author of a large number of
inventions, but the most well-known
one is the electric bulb. Among other
discoveries of Thomas Edison there
are telegraph devices, phonograph,
carbon transmitter, direct current
generator, universal electric motor,
and more.
Emile Berliner (1851 - 1929)
The German-born Jewish American
scientist became known thanks to his
disc record gramophone (in the
United States known as phonograph
Page | 88
or record player). Used for recording
and reproducing sounds on a
gramophone record, vinyl record, the
device (with certain modifications
made once in a while) was popular
until 1980s.
Alexander Graham Bell (1857 - 1922)
During the experiments he carried out
with the telegraph, Bell came up with
the idea of the telephone.
The inventor of one of the most
popular devices today thought that
the telephone was intruding, which is
why he did not have one in his
workplace.
Rudlf Christian Karl Diesel (1858 -
last seen alive 1913)
Being a mechanical engineer, Rudolf
Christian Karl Diesel managed to
discover the diesel engine.
The German inventor was also a well-
known thermal engineer, a polyglot,
an expert in arts, and a social theorist
Amalie Auguste Melitta Bentz (1873 -
1950)
She was born Amalie Auguste Melitta
Liebscher. Bentz was a German
business lady, who invented the
coffee filter back in 1908. Today her
grandchildren, Thomas and Stephen,
are managing the family business
(Melitta Group KG) based in Minden
in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
One of the greatest scientists of the
20th century is the author of

infected.
The discovery of penicillin managed
to significantly boost the evolution of
medicine industry.
Fritz Pfleumer (1881 - 1945)
The German-Austrian engineer is the
author of the magnetic tape used for
recording sound. Pfleumer decided to
grant the right of use to the AEG, a

medicine. In 1916 he completed his
MD and during the World War I
worked as a doctor. He was very
interested in diabetes and
continuously worked on a cure for it.
It would be worth noting that the
Banting searcher for cure for diabetes
together with Dr. Charles Best. In
1923 the researcher was awarded
with the Nobel Prize for discovering
insulin.
