I will never forget how I learned to ride a bike. It was the summer of 2000 when our mother bought us a new bicycle. We were all happy and excited to play outside because of the new companion. We began self- learning. We took turns in riding the bike with the hope that I will learn first. Our friends had bicycles too so it was some kind of a competition who will be able to get the right balance first. To cut the story short, I won the unofficial contest of knowing how to ride the bike without training wheels. How did I do it? Thanks to the angry dogs in our neighborhood. They were determined to teach me drive the bike so fast that I forgot I didn’t know how to. What pattern of development is this?

The word quarantine is such a familiar one to almost everyone who are aware of the pandemic today. According to the Merriam- Webster dictionary online, it is a noun that has several meanings. It states that it is a period of 40 days. It may also be a term during which a ship arriving in port and suspected of carrying contagious disease is held in isolation from the shore. Also, it means a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests. It is also defined as a state of enforced isolation. For us, who have been in community quarantine for more or less three months, we know that quarantine means staying at home and waiting for the situation to be better. It is a condition wherein only those who have quarantine pass are allowed to go out for essential needs of the family. For others, the concept quarantine may also be equated to “no work, no pay” policy. Some may define it as something needed for people who are sick or those who came from places with COVID-19 cases. On the other hand, some probably sees quarantine as something that takes away their right to see family, relatives and friends. To sum it up, whatever or however we understand quarantine, we need to follow it as a safety protocol since we are still fighting this pandemic. What pattern of development is used in this text?

There are several reasons why you need a good a study habit and its effects will prove it beneficial. First, a good study habit is necessary since you are a student who aims to pass the grade level you are in. That’s one basic objective anyone who studies has. And if you pass, most probably, you, yourself and your loved ones will be happy for the achievement. When you pass, it will be one step making you closer to your goal. Second, a good study habit is important because you want to be ready. This serves as your pre-determined plan that will help you get through your student life easier. Having a regular review of your notes every 9 o’clock in the evening is better than cramming to read all of your notes ten minutes before an exam. You will be able to prepare for a quiz or test; may it be a surprise or not because you habitually read your notes. Third, setting a good study habit is the same as training your mind to work. In real life, when you have a habit of practicing, you know how the saying goes. Practice makes perfect. If you practice good study habits, then you are more likely to get the outcome that you expect. Who doesn’t want to see good scores on his or her papers? These are just some of the causes and effects of having good study habit. You may discover more if you actually do it. What type of pattern of writing is this?

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has made people realize many things. We are faced with an “invisible” enemy. Many usual activities that some may have taken for granted are now things we miss doing like shaking hands or hugging our buddies. Going out is now a privilege and a great responsibility. Being at work and coming home from work has become a battlefield. And having a stable income is a major struggle. Physical, as well as mental stress are silently creeping in and we have to overcome them, while being a “healthy” person. All these may just be the tip of the ice berg. There are a lot more that can be unnamed but we have to face. How do we deal with things new to everyone? How do we fight against these? Two significant attitudes emerge from us in this unsolved puzzleresilience and cooperation. We have proven to be resilient in times of calamities. We are still able to flash a smile despite heavy burdens. We have come out stronger every after storm, in a literal sense or not. We are bent but not totally broken. What makes us take in everything, both the negative and positive events is the sense of cooperation. Left and right, we see donors. Ordinary people or the public figures go the extra mile just to share what they can. We witness neighbors and strangers help each other in any way they can. We are in the same boat and bad news cannot stop good hearts spreading hope to those who need it. These are why we move forward in spite of the gigantic obstacles we see ahead.
