THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

                   That time of year is near again. The time that many of us have been waiting for since the start of a new year. Christmas... that special time of the year when the Lord Jesus Christ was born. The time for giving. But Christmas isn't always about giving and receiving gift and cards and etc. But what is the true meaning of Christmas? I mean... What is the true essence of Christmas?

                    For me...  Christmas is about love. Caring about another over yourself, spending the time to do the little things to make the holiday special for loved ones. Christmas is also about togetherness. Being with the people you love, laughing, sharing a meal, sharing happy memories. To me... This is Christmas.... Being with your friends and your families.... It doesn't get any better than this....

ANTICIPATING ENGLISH

AS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

                     English has become an international language with global significance. For some an international language has the meaning of a language that has a large number of native speakers. In this sense, English, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic, the most widely spoken mother tongues in the world nowadays, might be considered as international languages. However, although these languages are spoken by a large number of native speakers of other civilizations, they cannot serve as a language of wider communication. It is in this sense that English is the international language. In many instances it is the language of wider communication both among individuals from different countries and between individuals from one country. In this way, English is an international language in both a global and a local sense. For these who want to know the main reasons for the spread of English, they will be stated below. 
                    Several geographical and historical factors, led to the initial spread of English. During nineteenth and twentieth century both British and American colonialism and the migration of English-speaking individuals to other areas were of central importance. In the beginning of the nineteenth century Britain had become the world’s leading industrial and trading nation. Most of the innovations of the industrial revolution were of British origin, resulting in new terminology for technological and scientific advantages. As a result, these who wanted to learn more about these innovations needed English both to understand the new terminology and talk to English-speaking inventors and manufacturers. In tandem, similar developments were taking place in the USA and by the end of the nineteenth century the USA had overtaken Britain as the fastest growing economy, producing many new inventions.

MODERN HERO

All of us could be a hero in our own special way. There are too many things that we can do to show our generosity and heroism. And that’s what our parents particularly our mother does.

  As your world began, the arm of your mother first embraced you with love and sincerity. Her first tear for you falls with joy and pleasure. After she brought you out from her womb, she sighed for relief and closed her eyes for a while to feel the proud and favorable outcome of her sacrifices as we grow up, our mother always at our back to support us. In our generation, she always needs to strive harder for you to live without depending on your father. She guides you on her own particular and unique style.

So love your parents as you love yourself and your neighborhood. You will be parent too in the future, so you should show them what you want your children show to you in your vision of future.

MY TEACHER, MY HERO

              There are countless definitions of heroes today. Is it a superstar who used his fame and fortune to help the needy in his hometown? Is it a fire fighter who sees no danger in all circumstances just to save lives of people? Is it an Overseas Filipino Worker who is ready to bear the pain of being alone just to provide his family a comfortable life? But what really makes a person a hero?

               There are heroes and heroines, national and local. Some of them are born, others are made. Many are still living while many others have long been gone. It is to the latter that monuments and museums were built to keep alive their memories in our hearts and mind. Public buildings, parks and plazas, streets and few cities and provinces have been named after them. Important dates and events are usually marked red in the calendar to remind us of their birth or death anniversary. During the celebration of these events, program speakers take turns extolling to high heavens whatever good they had done for the country.

But behind all these great people are strong foundations that guide, develop, and mold them all throughout. They are the teachers!

                 In life, people may come and go, some will be remembered and some are forgotten. But one thing is for sure, I'll never forget the person who is known as my second parent. Who did efforts for me to gain knowledge, the one who has been my guide for so many years, the one who scolds and corrects me when I am doing wrong, The one who has been there as I face to reach the stepping stones in my life. The one who appreciates my efforts, the one who is always there to feed me a bit-full of information that I might use someday, the one who saves me from this unfair life where everyone should be feed with the same level of knowledge. The person who sacrifices for our own-good, and yet, the laziness that I've shown them, the tiredness that they have seen from me. After all, they never give up and they never stop to fill us with knowledge and when we are going to fall, they are always there to reach our hand and pull us back and so, the years might have been overthrown, and everything will fade, but they always be my hero for life and for all that efforts and sacrifices that they've done for us. 

                 How would life be without teachers? There would be no doctors to cure our diseases or illnesses, there would be no police to keep our cities or countries safe and peaceful, there would be no fire fighters to put out fires. Without teachers, the world would be filled with chaos. We would be nothing without them. That's why our teachers are the real heroes

REFLECTION

                                                               

REFLECTION

        

           My learning's about this period is that how to use the HTML Tags in the notepad.This topic is a little bit hard because sometimes there are some activities that makes me confused.

            

          For me,our I.C.T. is an adventurous subject because in every grading we encountered different topics and that is really hard for me.For the past grading period I'd seen not so serious but in this grading I'd do the same also.Maybe I will be more improve if i would be listen to the discussions of my teacher or maybe i will be more serious for the next grading period.

UNRAVEL THE CAUSES , BUILD THE SOLUTIONS

EMPOWER SCIENCE CLUBBERS TO ACTION

       
                 In its broadest meaning of 'knowledge', science enters the life of even the most primitive human being, who knows the safe from the poisonous berry, who has stored up some rudimentary ideas about building a hut, sharpening a spear, and fishing in the river. this knowledge, or accumulation of experience, distinguishes man from the animal which has to rely on instinct.

               Today, there is available an enormous range of consumer goods from the simple frying-pan to the jet plane, from the alarm-clock to the computer. All these things serve to make life easier and more pleasant, yet in themselves do not constitute civilization -- merely its comfortable adjuncts. Progress in real living is achieved less through 'things' than through education, the arts and the love of beauty. Science has nothing to say to us in these categories, merely providing aids and short-cuts. Without them, life would be no more than the struggle for survival; there would be no time or incentive to pursue higher things.Science gives us safe food, free from harmful bacteria, in clean containers or hygienic tins. It also teaches us to eat properly, indicating a diet balanced in protein and carbohydrate and containing vitamins. The results is freedom from disease and prolonged life. In pre scientific days, food was monotonous and sometimes dangerous; today it is safe and varied. It is varied because through improved sea, land and air transport food can now be freely imported and exported. Science has also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and working conditions. Man-made fibers and versatile spinning machines, today enable us to dress in clothes both comfortable and smart without being expensive.

          Science has been completely beneficial to ordinary living when properly applied. When misused, it is equally harmful. Land can be poisoned by chemicals, workers can suffer industrial disease, war can mobilize science to man's own destruction. Science is a good servant, but man must remain master

"Wika Natin ang Daang Matuwid"

          Agosto, ang buwan ng wika natin. Tema ngayon ay " Wika Natin ang Daang Matuwid".

Ibig sabihin nito ay sa paggamit ng ating wikang filipino, ito ang gabay natin

para sa matuwid na daan o para sa mabuting kinabukasan.

           Ang buwan ng wika ai taon -  taon natin ito ipinagdiriwang, bawat taon iba ang tema nito.

Sa iba't ibang tema nito, iisa lamang ang mensahe, dapat nating gamitin ang ating 

wika. Dito sa pilipinas,  maraming iba't ibang mga lengwahe pero sa kabila ng pagkakaiba - iba ay

nagkakaisa tayo dahil sa wikan filipino ang tinig ng ating kultura, kasaysayan at pagkatao.

and  that the low incoming families can afford and crimes can be lessened.

Gutom at Malnutrition sama-sama nating Wakasan

Every year, every school celebrates the nutrition month, the topic now is Hunger and Malnutrition and how do we decrease this problem in our country. Many people are suffering from malnutrition and because of lack of vitamins, proteins and nutrients that the body needs, people easily get sick.

One of the causes of malnutrition to some people is poverty. Many people are helping them by donating food and creating projects or programs to help these people. Due to over population, there is a decrease in the production of food and an increase in the price of some products. We all need our health, together we can decrease the hunger and malnutrition problem. Our health is wealth..

Dear Mr. President,

                                     First i would like to greet you a pleasant day...  

        I, Gio Luis P. Racasa, student of Ilocos Sur National High School, am thankful for the support and all the projects that you have done to improve our nation. Sir, may i request that some schools should have transportation for students who live far away from their schools.

Sincerely,

Gio Luis P. Racasa
