    Let’s check your knowledge level and your readiness for this lesson.

    Please accomplish the task below diligently so that we will know what

    needs to be done to help you. Write your answers on a separate sheet.

    I. Identify the words or phrases used to link ideas in the passage below.

    II. Tell how ideas are linked between sentences by identifying the relationship shown in each sentence. Choose the letter of the correct answer from the

    options below.

    A. Adding of ideas C. Showing the next idea E. Giving a reason B. Giving a condition D. Simplifying the idea

    1. The issue on equality in the past highlighted racial discrimination. Hence, colored

    races received unfair treatment. Disrespect on their identity was very evident.

    2. Poverty was a determining factor between the whites and the blacks. For that

    reason, the whites were deemed rich and dominant. This intensified the racial

    inequality and disparity between them.

    3. The Africans cried for freedom from oppression and discrimination. In fact, Nelson

    Mandela fought for this cause to stop Apartheid and redeem the human rights for his

    fellowmen.

    4. Economic activities for the non-whites were also restricted. If they would go to the

    areas of the whites, they were required to bring papers that allow them to enter such

    prohibited areas.

    5. The Black Africans received more social injustices. They were forced to live in

    towns outside cities where whites owned the land. Furthermore, there was even

    unequal access to education.

    The beauty of a person is beyond the image the eyes can see. Admittedly, many consider the outward appearance as the measure of the person’s worth

    such as skin color, physical form, hair type, etc. When they treat others, they

    show an unfair regard. In this case, the truth should be known.

    To begin with, every person is inherently special. Each being is gifted with

    unique qualities since he or she has intelligence, traits, behavior, and

    attractiveness apart from others. Additionally, it is the inner self of an individual

    that makes him or her shine.

    Knowing these aspects will lead to a better understanding and respect for

    any individual. Thus, it is imperative to say that every person is special and

    beautiful.

    Poverty becomes a great hindrance to progress. Lack of resources does not

    help the economy.

    Education is a crucial factor in sustainable development. Government puts

    priority on this vital key for progress.

    Some ethnic tribes strongly adhere to customs until now. They have not

    adapted to the changes in the modern world.

    Strategic plans for economic growth must be well- thought. Better results will be

    evident in the services given to people.

    Many foreign countries colonized colored races in the past. These minorities

    suffered oppression and discrimination from the tyrants.

    Read the excerpt below. Observe the flow of ideas in the paragraph.

    WHAT’S NEW

    Nelson Mandela’s speech at the opening of the defense case

    in the Rivonia Trial, Pretoria, South Africa, 20 April 1964

    “The complaint of Africans ... is not only that they are poor and the whites are

    rich, but that the laws which are made by the whites are designed to preserve this

    situation. There are two ways to break out of poverty. The first is by formal

    education, and the second is by the worker acquiring a greater skill at his work

    and thus higher wages. As far as Africans are concerned, both these avenues of

    advancement are deliberately curtailed by legislation. ... Above all, we want equal

    political rights, because without them, our disabilities will be permanent. I know

    this sounds revolutionary to the whites in this country, because the majority of

    voters will be Africans. This makes the white man fear democracy. But this fear

    cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the only solution which will guarantee

    racial harmony and freedom for all. It is not true that the enfranchisement of all

    will result in racial domination. Political division, based on colour, is entirely

    artificial and, when it disappears, so will the domination of one colour group by

    another. The ANC* has spent half a century fighting against racialism. When it

    triumphs, it will not change that policy. This then is what the ANC is fighting. Their

    struggle is a truly national one. It is a struggle of the African people, inspired by

    their own suffering and their own experience. It is a struggle for the right to live.

    During my lifetime, I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people.

    I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black

    domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which

    all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal

    which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I

    am prepared to die.”

    *ANC is - African National Congress, a South African political party and black nationalist organization Excerpt Adapted from: Nelson Mandela Speech Excerpts.

    2. How were the lives of the whites and Africans compared?

    3. What were the means of ending poverty?

    4. What did Mandela and the Africans desire amidst the issues?

    5. What were the hindrances in achieving their aspiration?

    6. How did Mandela dedicate himself to this cause?

    7. What was the scenario of a democratic society?

    8. As citizens in a tourist-bound country, how should we, Filipinos, treat others?

    Looking into the structure of the text, ponder on the questions below to help you

    understand today’s lesson. Answer briefly.

    What is the main idea in the excerpt?

    What details or evidences support the main topic?

    How are ideas connected to each other?

    What relationship of ideas are shown between sentences?

    What have been used to link one idea to another in the excerpt?

    What is the impact of well-connected ideas from beginning to end?

    WHAT IS IT

    Good job! You have explored this activity well. You have been able

    to grasp the message of Nelson Mandela. Also, examined how he

    has delivered his points in the excerpt. It’s time to learn the lesson.

    “There are two ways to break out of poverty. The first is by formal

    education, and the second is by the worker acquiring a greater skill at his work

    and thus higher wages.”

    EXPLANATION:

    In this part, the topic is introduced in the first sentence. The signal word “first”

    relates the second sentence to the topic. Another signal words “and” and

    “second” adds to the idea presented. The word “thus” shows that “higher wages”

    happens next.

    “Above all, we want equal political rights, because without them, our

    disabilities will be permanent. I know this sounds revolutionary to the whites in

    this country, because the majority of voters will be Africans.”

    EXPLANATION:

    The idea in the first sentence is emphasized by the phrase “above all”. The

    transition signal “because” indicates reason in the second sentence.

    “Political division, based on colour, is entirely artificial and, when it disappears,

    so will the domination of one colour group by another.”

    EXPLANATION:

    The phrase “based on” points out the specific idea while the word “when” points

    to a condition in the clause.

    “The ANC* has spent half a century fighting against racialism. When it triumphs,

    it will not change that policy. This then is what the ANC is fighting.”

    In the sample above, the second sentence is introduced by the word “when” showing a condition. The word “then” in the third sentence signals the outcome of

    the situation in the previous sentence.

    Notice how the ideas in the excerpt are woven effectively.

    Take a look at the examples from the excerpt.

    A written discourse must be clear, effective and creative. To do this,

    important techniques can help in the clarity and organization of ideas relating to

    the main topic.

    Coherence serves as the bridge between ideas in a text or discussion.

    Without coherence, the reader cannot acquire full understanding of the central

    message. It links one idea to another as it establishes the relationship between

    them.

    To achieve this, appropriate words or phrases show the relationship and

    create a smooth flow of meaning. These words or phrases are called coherence

    signals.

    Coherence signals connect the ideas between sentences and within paragraphs. The following are the uses or functions of the coherence signals:

    Additive - additionally, again, also, and, as well, besides, equally important, further, furthermore, in addition, moreover, then, likewise, etc.

    Causative - accordingly, as a result, and so, because, thus, since, hence, consequently, for that reason, on account of, therefore, etc.

    Sequential - In the (first, second, third, etc.)place, To begin with, next,

    To start with, initially, thus, subsequently, before, from, then,

    etc.

    Conditional – unless, if, when, in case, in that case, even if, only, if,

    provided, given that, etc.

    Concessional - although, at any rate, at least, still, though, even though, admittedly, granted that, while it may be true, in spite of, etc.

    Clarifying – in other words, that is, in this case, I mean, up to a point, under certain circumstances, put another way, simply, etc.
