province, southeastern Luzon, Philippines. It setting is on Lake Bato.
3.Be always aware and informed. Not everyone needs to be saved. Sometimes we need

this speech?

to the current situation in our country?
5. Notice the language used in this speech and its message. Do you think it fits the
audience to whom the speech is addressed? Why? Why not?

Answer:
1.Reading that message made me feel happy and encouraged. This pandemic brought so much
negativity to us people. Reading this kind of messaged gives hope and brings in
positivity. Focusing only on the negative side makes us anxious, depressed and broken.
That’s why daily dose of positive thoughts is necessary. What Leni said encouraged us
that even in worst times we need to always keep going and we shouldn’t stop. This new
normal may be difficult for us but we need to cope up and adjust in order to achieve our
goals and dreams.

2.Our country is amidst the corona virus crisis, and some places are still on enhanced
community quarantine and some are not. Also DepEd pursues classes amidst pandemic.

Activity 12
Taste of sky by VentreCanard
Geographic: Philippines
Linguistic: English , Filipino
This wattpad story talks about how tragic life is. It has been referred to
and noted that Romeo and Juliet is the greatest love story of all time or perhaps
the most tragic. But hey, Taste of Sky is the Filipino version of tragic but
great story I’ve ever read. It’s about Peter and Behati, how they love each other
and have each other. BEHATI AZALEA MONZANTO as a female lead is the woman of hope
and the bravest lady you’ll ever know. A survivor of typhoon Yolanda and a
fighter. She’s determined to be a pilot to save others and make them not feel the
feeling of emptiness, loneliness and also homeless by entering an agency who sees
the truth about the Earth- the Universal Aeronautics and Space Administration or
UASA. Girl power. RYLANDRIEN PETER ARMSTRONG or pedro a male lead character. A
man that is willing to risk his life just like his father.

This story shows how people will do anything for their dream and to help
people around them. and like behati we girls are strong like men and we can do
what boys can. It is man vs nature. With its life-threatening battles. Can we
survive when the floors of the earth continuously shake? Can we run or fly when a
giant wave speeds across the ocean? Can we still be alive or even extinguish the
river of lava when a volcano erupts? We can just make measures but nature will
always take supremacy.

us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of characters if the author chooses to
