WORKSHEET FOR THE APPLICATION:

NARRATIVE TEXT TYPE

The Fox and The Crow
Aesop’s Fable
A fox once saw a crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch
of a tree.
“That’s for me, as I am fox,” said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of
the tree.
“Good day, Mistress Crow,” he cried. “How well you are looking today: how glossy
your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds,
just as your figure does, let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the
Queen of Birds.”
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened
her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
“That will do,” said he. “That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give
you a piece of advice for the future: “Do not trust flatterers.”

driverless cars, we can finally control the roadways in a safe and efficient manner. This

PERSUASIVE TEXT TYPE

Why Students Should Eat Breakfast Every Day

 A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having
breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time
for that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before
going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast,
especially for students.

The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your
health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it’s
not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to have a meal and not
let your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with
your health if you don’t eat breakfast.
