Patterns of Development/Organization
Patterns of development help us sort out
information and shape paragraphs or
essays. They can help organize an outline,
or depending on the purpose they can
determine the form that a paper will take.
Remember that most paper will use a
combination of methods, working together
in function of each other.
Text structure is how information is
organized in writing. Text structures,
or patterns of organization, not only
vary from writing to writing, but text
structures may also change
frequently from paragraph to
paragraph within a single piece of
writing
1. Narration means to tell a
story. A narration deals with
people, places, events,
dates, etc

: The history of
the Love Canal
2. Description means to tell what
something is like.
Describe the damage done by
pollution to a river, lake, forest, etc. A
good description will revolve around a
"dominant impression.“
3. Illustration/Exemplification with
examples means that a
generalization is supported by
specific instances.
Food industries do not encourage
consumers to produce less litter.
4. Definition means to
explain what something
is. Define "ozone layer"
5. Comparison means to identify the ways
in which two "different" items are similar.
Contrast means to identify the ways in
which two "similar" items are different.
This means that there is no purpose in
comparing or contrasting two items that
do not share some common characteristic
(apples and books).
Compare the environmental advantages of
paper bags as opposed to plastic bags
6. Classification means to sort items
in order to group together those with
similar characteristics and to
distinguish them from those with
different characteristics.
Provide examples of how we can
reduce waste by reducing, reusing,
recycling.
7. Causal analysis means to find the
reasons that produced a certain result
or to identify the results produced by
a certain phenomenon.
Effects of acid rain on vegetation
8. Argumentation/Persuasion means
to provide enough reasons and proof
to convince the reader that a certain
opinion is valid.
Industries do not receive enough
incentives to reduce waste.
9. Process analysis means to
explain how to do something.
How to start a compost pile
The Philippine Economy and COVID-19

The effect of coronavirus disease 2019


or COVID-19 on the Philippine economy for
the rest of the year deserves attention. The
good prospects entertained for 2020 have
been shattered by the onslaught of the
pandemic, which required extreme
measures that has put the economy to a
halt.
. Assessing the immediate future. What is in
store as the government navigates what needs to
be done? What are the main trade-offs and
options that can be taken to restore and protect
the economy? Equally important are the
programs for the long-term future. The Philippine
economy has been on course to fire up its
engines and that requires major economic
reforms still. Economic instability in the past, plus
the failure to correct long-term defects in the
investment climate, have produced insufficient
dynamism.
The government economic response. The
government’s economic response was to cover
the needs of the extreme medical measurers
which could last three months. Congress
enacted in a special session additional powers
to enable the President to manage the new
crisis. This is Republic Act 11469 known as
“Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.” The law gives
the President the power to reallocate and to
reprogram P275 billion (or 62 percent) of the
already approved P438 billion budget for
2020.
Mainly, this is to enable the government to
deal with the budgetary needs of providing
a wide social protection network for the
citizenry and to pursue the fight against the
pandemic. The steps taken will provide
subsidies to those deprived of income
resulting from loss of work due to the
lockdown measures of government. The
money is intended to replace the wages
they would have earned in employment.
It also includes some supplements for the
targeted Pantawid program to help very
poor families due to the COVID-19 crisis. In
short, the subsidy is like “helicopter money”
to help those who have lost purchasing
power arising from the lockdown
measures. If implemented quickly and in a
timely manner for those in need, the
measure would make up for lost demand (or
purchasing power) in the economy.
In addition, the law would allow the
government to temporarily take over or direct
the operations of public utilities and privately
owned health facilities, including the
distribution and storage of medical relief
during the public emergency.Excerpt from
