LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

ENGLISH 2

I. Introduction

Do you enjoy listening to short stories, poems, and experiences

shared by your parents, brothers, sisters, classmates, friends or teachers?
When you listen attentively, you discover and learn new things that
will help you develop as a person. As you improve your listening skills,
you note and analyze every detail of the texts you listened to. Through
this, you can easily recognize which part of the text you listened to is
real or just made-up. Knowing the difference between reality and fantasy
will greatly help you understand situations and make correct decisions in
real life.

II. Learning Competency

Recognize the difference between “made-up” and “real” in
texts listened to (EN2LC-IIIf-g-3.15)
 III. Objectives:
At the end of this learning activity sheet, you are expected to:
1. note specific details in a text listened to;
2. differentiate reality from fantasy;
3. identify the reality and made-up details in a text listened to;

IV. Discussion
Listen attentively as I read to you the story entitled “From Now
On.” Then, answer the questions that follow.

From Now On
by Cindy F. De Asis

“Hey, Jimmy! Where are you going? Our group

is scheduled to clean the room today,” said Carlo.
Jimmy heard his classmate, but he continued to
walk outside. Just like any other day, Jimmy was very
excited to go home to play his video game and to
watch his favorite
TV show. He never thought about helping his
classmates especially in cleaning their classroom.

One day, Jimmy went to school 2 very sleepy. While in class, he fell
asleep. When he woke up, his classmates and his teacher were gone. He
was alone. But there were a lot of things scattered everywhere: piles of
books, pencils and crayons, crumpled papers, and even wrappers of
candies and snacks. The chairs and tables were also a mess.
 Jimmy was confused at first, but decided to go home. But before
he could go outside the room, a voice stopped him.
“Where are you going?” said the voice.
Jimmy turned his head and saw the chair talking. Before he could react,
another voice got his attention.
“Are you not going to clean us?” said the pencil.
“Are you going to leave us like this?” said the crayon.
One by one, the objects approached him, asking him to put them in
proper place. Even the blackboard asked to be cleaned. Jimmy was
afraid and started to cry.
“Please, don’t hurt me. From now on, I promise I will clean all of
the mess in this classroom. Please, leave me now,” cried Jimmy.
“Jimmy! Wake up! Our class is already finished,” he heard another
voice calling him.
He opened his eyes and found himself in their classroom. His
teacher and classmates were there. There were no mess, no talking
objects, and no shouting blackboard.
Flooded with relief, he stood up and grabbed a broom. He started
to sweep the crumpled papers, arranged the books and chairs, and erased
the writings on the board. 3

“Wow, Jimmy! We are so happy that you are here,” his classmate
said to him.
“Me, too. I know how difficult it is to clean a lot of mess. From
now on, I will help you and our group in cleaning our classroom,” said
Jimmy.
They smiled with each other and continued cleaning.

Comprehension Check:

1. Who is the main character in the story?

 A. Jimmy
B. Johnny
C. Joshua
2. Jimmy chose to go home early and not to help in cleaning the
classroom because ______________.
A. he wants to study his lessons
B. he wants to play video games
C. he wants to help his mother cook dinner
3. What do you think is the reason why he decided to help in cleaning
their classroom at the end?
A. Because he realized helping each other will make the work
easier
B. Because the chair and the other objects asked him to clean
C. Because he was afraid of his teacher
4. Which of the following details expresses a fantasy?
A. Jimmy did not help clean the classroom.
B. The pencil and the crayon talked
4 to him.
C. The classroom is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
5. Which of the following details expresses a reality?
A. Jimmy fell asleep in class.
B. The blackboard asked to be cleaned.
C. One by one, the objects approached him.

In the story you have listened to, there are some events which can
be considered real and made-up.
For example, when Jimmy was very excited to go home to play his
video game and watch his favorite TV show, this expresses reality
because the feeling of excitement really happens to everyone. It is an
action that actually happened in the past.
 While the part of the story when the objects like pencil, and crayon
approached him to put them in proper place is an example of made-up
event or detail because it is just a fantasy which is too far from reality.
Going back to Item Numbers 4 and 5, you are right if your answers
are B and A respectively. The pencil and the crayon are not human
beings, so they could not really talk. This is an example of fantasy or
made-up. While sleeping performed by Jimmy took place in the past
which also happens to someone is an example of reality.
