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.

Education is a crucial factor in sustainable development. Government puts

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

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.

“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.
