Good morning!

Southeast Asia is a land that can be best characterized by one word “diversity.” From its indigenous
history, through its long period of colonization, to its present struggle of self- definition Southeast Asia remains
a world of striking differentiation. There are eleven independent countries that divide the landscape of this vast
region. However, one must keep in mind that those nation states highlight geographic boundaries and do not
necessarily encapsulate or bound distinctive cultural features or ethnic groups in a larger region. Within the
entire region, it is best to think of two areas: the nations that lie in either “insular” (or island Southeast Asia)

and those that lie in “mainland: (continental Southeast Asia). Island Southeast Asia is the archipelago
group that lies in south of the Philippines. It is composed of Indonesia (the largest archipelago in the world),
Sabah, Borneo, and Malaysia. Here is one of the most notable literary piece in Island Southeast Asia
originated from Indonesia.

Have you ever been caught doing something wrong? Did you humbly admit your guilt or did you try to
cover up your fault by behaving childishly or by giving excuses? Here is a humorous incident that will give you
a picture of the ridiculous actions of two men who were too silly to own their crime and their fright and how did
Guno convince Koyo to jump in a river in a dry river bed.

Guno and Koyo

From Indonesia
Retold by Harold Courlander

Everywhere in Java, Sumatra, and Celebes, the people know of two men named Guno
and Koyo, and whenever they hear of them, they smile. For the name Guno means “helpful”
and Guno is really unhelpful man; while Koyo’s name means “rich,” Koyo in fact never has
any money at all. Whatever he manages to get his hands on, Guno the “helpful” one helps him lose.

It said that one time, Guno persuaded Koyo to go with him to rob an old hadji. They crept in the night to the
old man’s house and began to dig a hole under the wall. When the hole was large enough for a man to enter,
Guno crawled through. He silently gathered the valuables of the sleeping hadji and handed them out through the
hole to Koyo, who piled them neatly on the ground. As Guno prepared to go out, he saw the hadji’s colorful robe
hanging on a peg. He took the robe down and dressed himself in it. He said to himself, “I will soil my new robe if I
crawl out the way I came in.” So, instead of going through the hole, he went to the door, unlocked it, and stepped
out.

Koyo, expecting Guno to appear through the hole, was startled. Seeing the dignified robed figure coming out
the door, he taught it was the hadji, and that Guno was still inside. “Ai! The hadji!” Koyo screamed.

And leaving the pile of loot where he had placed it on the ground, he began to run. Guno, thinking the hadji
was behind him, hastily threw his new robe away and fled after Koyo. Because the two of them made so much
noise fleeing through the village, the neighbors were awakened, and they came out with sticks and sickles to
pursue them.

Guno and Koyo ran across the open fields until they came panting to the edge of the river,

“Ah, we are lost! Koyo groaned. “We’ll either be caught and beaten, or we will drown in the flooded river!”

“The river isn’t flooded,” Guno said. “Indeed, the river is flooded,” Koyo said.

“No, certainly is not flooded.” Guno said. “If it were in flood it would be muddy and dark. But it is so clear
you can almost see the bottom.”

Koyo looked. It was true. Faintly in the starlight he could see the rocks in the bottom of the river.

“Well,” he said nervously, “you go first and tell me how it is.” So Guno held his breath, closed his eyes and
leaped from the rocky ledge.

But the riverbed was dry, there was no water at all, and Guno fell into the gravel and stones below.

As he lay there in great surprise, he heard Koyo shouting to him from the ledge above:

“How is it? How is it?”

Guno was embarrassed. So, he began to make swimming motions with his hands and legs as he lay on
the bottom of the dry riverbed, and he called out:

So Koyo, too, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and leaped from the ledge. He landed next to Guno,
sprawling in the dry river gravel.

Guno, still waving his arms as though he were swimming turned to Koyo and said:

“You can see now that I was right. The river is not in flood.”

The people of the village arrived on the ledge. They looked down and shouted at the two men to come out
and take their punishment. In terror, Koyo also began to make swimming motions. The villagers, seeing Guno

and Koyo swimming this way in a river that had been dry for months, put down their weapons and laughed.
They couldn’t bring themselves to punish silly fugitives.

So today whenever a person tries to get out of a predicament by a ridiculous act, someone is sure to say:

“Don’t go swimming in a dry riverbed.”

Good Morning Class!

Have you ever tried delivering a speech in front of many people? How was it? Did you ever try to
convince someone about a topic? Were they convinced with it?

No other means of communication has ever equaled the value and importance of the spoken word.
From the wandering savages of the past, to the bard who recited poetry to his audiences, to the Presidents

who have won elections with their ability to impress people; the power of eloquence and expressions to
move men and persuade them has been widely recognized.

Stating something and proving a point does not make a speech. This mere information? appeals to the
intellect only, but leaves the listener cold and inactive.

Persuasive Speech- is written to persuade, or convince the listeners, of the

validity of the speaker’s argument. It is a specific type of speech in which the
speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of
view.

 The speech is arranged in such a way as to

hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of
the expressed view. Though the overaching goal of a persuasive speech is to convince
the audience to accept the perspective, not all audiences can be convinced by a single
speech and not all perspectives can persuade the audience. The success of a
persuasive speech is often measured by the audience’s willingness to consider the
speaker’s argument.

 There are many examples of Persuasive speech and one of them is a Sales Pitch- In here, the speaker is
trying to convince the audience to buy his or her product or service. If the salesperson is successful, the
audience (the person being sold to) will choose to purchase the product or service.

Example of Sales Pitch:

Open this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KcpZUTjGZs this video shows the example of Sales Pitch.

There are a number of approaches a persuasive speaker may consider:

 The appeal to the audience’s moral or ethics.
 The appeal to the audience’s emotions (which is the most popular technique)
 The appeal to the audience’s intellect or a combination of these strategies.

As you can see, it is very important to know your audience when delivering a persuasive speech. It is very
important that you understand them in order to transport your message effectively and win them. You have to
tailor your content to your goal and the type of audience you have.

“PREPARING TO WRITE”

1. Learn about your topic- is important to know as much as you

can about the topic you'll be speaking on. If you aren't already
well-versed in the subject (e.g. because it has been assigned
to you), do some research and learn as much as you can.

 If your topic is controversial, it is a good idea to

know the arguments on all sides of the issue. Whatever argument you are making, you'll be
more persuasive if you can address the views of the opposing side.
 Spend some time reading books or articles about your topic. You can go to the library and
ask a librarian for help find books, or just go online and find some articles. Make sure to use
reliable sources, like major news organizations, or academic books or articles.
 Opinion-oriented sources, like editorials, talk radio, or partisan cable news, can be valuable
for finding out what other people think about your topic. But, don't rely on them as your only
source of information. They can be very biased. If you use them at all, make sure to read a
variety of viewpoints on the matter, not just one side.

2. Know your goal- It is important to understand exactly what it is you are trying to achieve with your
speech.
This way, you can tailor your content to fit your goals.

 For example, if your topic is recycling, it's important to know a lot about recycling. But, your speech will
need to reflect exactly what you hope the audience will do. Are you trying to get people to vote in favor of
a citywide recycling program? Or are you trying to convince them to sort out their glass and cans and put
them in a separate bin? These will be different speeches, so having the goal spelled out early will help you
craft your message.

3. Understand your audience. It is also important to understand your audience and their views and
knowledge about the topic. This will also influence the content of your speech.

 An audience that knows little about your topic will need more background information and simpler

GUANGCO, MICHELLE MARIE D.

michellemarieguangco@gmail.com
Globe: 09562988312
 English 8
5 Module 2

language. An audience made up of experts on the topic would likely find such a simple speech boring.
 Likewise, an audience that already supports your view on a topic will be easier to persuade to take some
action. You won't need to convince them you are right, but only that they need to do something. By
contrast, an audience that does not agree with you will need persuasion to even consider your point of
view.
 For example, imagine you want to convince your audience to support a city-wide recycling program. If
they already think recycling is important, you only need to convince them of the value of this specific
program. But, if they don't care about recycling or oppose it, you will need to first convince them that
recycling is worthwhile.

4. Choose the right persuasive approach. Depending on your topic and your audience, there are several
ways you might try to convince people of your point of view. Since the days of ancient Greece, speakers
have relied on three main persuasive approaches.
 Ethos. These are appeals to the audience's ethics or morals. For example: "Recycling is the right thing to
do. Wasting our limited resources steals from future generations, which is immoral."
 Pathos. These are appeals to the audience's emotions. For example: "Think of the animals that lose their
homes every day because of trees being chopped down. If we recycled more, we could save these
beautiful forests."
 Logos. These are appeals to the audiences logic or intellect. For example: "We know that there is a
limited supply of natural resources. We can make this supply last longer by recycling."
 You can rely on any one or some combination.

5. Outline your main points. Once you've chosen the best persuasive approach for your audience,
brainstorm the main points you'll make during the speech.
 The number of points you can make to support your position will be determined by how much time you
have to speak.
 As a rule of thumb, three to four supporting points is usually a good number.
 For example, in the speech about recycling, your three main points might be: 1. Recycling saves
resources, 2. Recycling reduces the amount of garbage, and 3. Recycling is cost-effective.

1. Write a strong open- Before you can begin persuading your audience, you
need to open the speech in a way that will make them want to pay attention.
A strong opening has five elements:

 An attention grabber. This could be a statement (or sometimes a visual) that

gets your audience’s attention. It can be a good idea to be a little startling or dramatic
at the opening of your speech. For example, you might start with information (or
pictures) showing how a nearby landfill is nearly full to capacity.

 A link to the audience. This is a means of showing that you have something in
common with the audience. Show that you have a similar background or share an
emotional connection of some kind. This will really depend on knowing your audience. For example, if
you are a parent, speaking to other parents, you might emphasize the concern for your own children's
future. If you share a common interest or ideological position with your audience, you can emphasize that.

 Your credentials. This is a means of showing that you are knowledgeable or an authority on the topic of
the speech. Highlight the research you've done on your topic. If you have any personal or professional
experience with the topic, be sure to emphasize that, too. In the recycling example, you might say "I've
invested many hours studying the recycling issue and the types of programs available in other cities."

 Your goal is to explain the audience what you hope the speech will accomplish. For example: "I hope by
the end of my talk that you will agree that we need a city-wide recycling program."

 A road- map. Finally, tell the audience what the main points of the speech will be. For example, "I believe
we must start a recycling program for these three reasons...."

2. Offer persuasive evidence. The main body of your speech should contain the points you outlined in Part
1. It should provide the audience with several convincing reasons to support your viewpoint.

 Arrange these points logically. Don't jump from one point to the next, and then back again. Instead,
complete an argument, then move on to another that flows logically from it.

 Use credible sources from your research to back the points you are making. Even if your point is more
emotional (pathos), introducing some factual information will make your argument stronger.

 For example: "Each year, 40,000 acres of beautiful forests are destroyed to make paper,
according to a study from the American Recycling Institute."

GUANGCO, MICHELLE MARIE D.

michellemarieguangco@gmail.com
Globe: 09562988312
 English 8
6 Module 2

 Use real life examples that the audience can relate to. Even an argument based on facts and logic (logos)
should relate to the audience's lives and interests.

 For example: "In these hard- economic times, I know many of you are afraid that a recycling
program will mean a costly increase in taxes. But, the city of Springfield started a program like
this one three years ago. So, far they've seen an increase in revenue as a result of the program.
Many residents have seen a decrease in their taxes as a result."

3. Address the counter-argument. Although it is not strictly necessary, your argument may be stronger if one or
more of your supporting points addresses the views of the opposing side. This gives you a chance to address your
audience's possible objections and make your argument stronger.

 Make sure that you describe opposing views fairly and objectively. Consider whether someone who
actually holds that view would approve of the way you are describing their position. If you aren't sure, find
someone who thinks that way and ask.

 For example: you would not want to say: "opponents of recycling just don't care if we waste our
precious resources, or our money." That's not a fair description of their opinion.

 Instead, you might say: "opponents of recycling are concerned that the cost might be much
higher than just using new materials," and then go on to offer an argument about why recycling
might be the more cost-effective option.

4. Conclude with a call to action. The conclusion of your speech should remind your audience of what you have
told them. It should also make it clear exactly what you hope they will do next.

 Don't just restate, verbatim, what you've already said. Instead, use this as an opportunity to reinforce the
way your main points support your call to action.
 For example: "To sum up, I've shown you (points a, b, and c). These three undeniable facts point
to a city-wide recycling program as the most sensible and ethical step we can take in helping
create a more sustainable future. Please, join me in voting 'yes' on this program in November."

1. Practice your speech. When it comes to making your speech work in real

life, the most important thing you can do is practice, as much as you can.

 Try practicing in front of a mirror, so that you can see how you are
delivering the speech. This can help you notice your facial expressions
and body language. These can help or hinder your
ability to get your message across.

 For example: you might notice you are slouching, or that that you fidget with
your collar. These actions suggest to an audience that you aren't confident.

 Better still, record yourself with a video camera and watch the tape afterwards. This
can help you see (and hear) where your delivery needs improvement. It has the
benefit of providing audio, and also won't distract you as much as a mirror when
you're speaking.

 Once you've practiced on your own a few times, try giving the speech to a small group of friends or family
members. Ask for their feedback on your message and delivery.

2. Dress appropriately. On the day of the speech, dress appropriately for the venue and audience you'll be
speaking to.

 Generally speaking, this will mean dressing professionally. But, the degree of formality will vary. A speech
to a film club to convince them to show your film won't require the same degree of formality as speaking to
the executives of a movie distribution company.
 For the executives, you would want to wear a suit. For the film club, that might be overdoing it.

3. Relax. Many people find public speaking intimidating, but try to relax and be yourself as you give your
speech.
 Be friendly and make eye contact with the audience.

 Move around, where appropriate, but don't fidget or pick at your clothes or hair.

 Don't read the speech. It's okay to use a few notes to keep yourself on track, but your speech should be
mostly memorized.

GUANGCO, MICHELLE MARIE D.

 English 8
7 Module 2

 Roll with the punches. If you make a mistake, don't let it derail your whole speech. This might be an
opportunity to use a little humor. Then, move on.

4. Involve your audience. If there is something specific, you'd like your audience to do, provide them with
any resources you can to make it easier. It is difficult to motivate people to take action, but if you make it
simple, they will be more likely to follow through.

 For example: If you want them to contact the mayor, demanding a recycling program, don't just
ask them to do it. Give them stamped, addressed envelopes to send a letter, or cards with the
mayor's phone number and email address. If you do this, many more people are likely to follow
through.

- This is the ways that you need to know in order for you to create a good persuasive speech. According to
an expert Mr. Patrick Muňoz in delivering a speech you need to Speak from your heart and connect
with your audience. Look them in the eyes and really talk to them. Make sure you’re comfortable in
delivering your speech and that you use a warm and confident tone.
