1. Floods are natural phenomena that usually appear during rainy season and affectsdifferent parts of the world.

2. After a severe flood, thousands of people and animals are drowned.3. Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of farmlands are ruined as the crops.4. Floods also cause massive destruction of the roads, bridges, railway lines, and water and

power supplies.5. Sometimes in the early 90s, a tropical storm struck the island of Leyte in the Philippinesand caused the worst flood there in seven years.

C. ReadingNow, you are going to read the selection on

floods and typhoons and complete the diagrams that

follow. Make sure that you will read it withunderstanding. Afterwards, I will ask some

questions regarding this. I will give you 3 minutesto read.

Floods and Typhoons (adapted)By: Jane Walker

Floods are natural phenomena that usually occur during rainy season and affect different

parts of the world. The worst of these have been caused by unpredictable weather.Tropical storms, also called typhoons, hurricanes, or cyclones, whip up the winds over

the oceans. As a result, these waves, called storm surges, raised towards the shore and causedfloods.

After a severe flood, thousands of people and animals are drowned, and whole villagesare demolished. Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of farmlands are ruined as the crops

and fertile soil are washed away and replaced by thick mud.Floods also cause massive destruction of roads, and bridges, railway lines, and water and

power supplies. Rescue worker have difficulty in bringing food and medical supplies to manypeople trapped by flood waters. Broken sewers and the lack of clean water can lead to the rapid

spread of diseases like cholera.Sometime in the early 90s, a tropical storm struck the island of Leyte in the Philippines

and caused the worst floods there in seven years. As a result, 2,500 people died, thousands morewere reported missing and estimated 50,000 were left homeless.

difficulty bringing food supplies?Relief workers have difficulty

bringing food supplies because of massivedestruction of roads, bridges and railway

lines.Very well said! What do diseases spread?

A cause is something that bringsabout a result.

An effect is the result of a cause. Nice voice! Would you please read the

example?

Example:Cause because you keep yourpromise.

Effect people will trust you.Good! Can you give your own example?

Cause because of severe flooding.

Effect thousands of people and

animals are drowned.Very good! Cause and effect support can

move in either direction. You can begin with causeand lead to an effect, or several effects, or you can

begin with an effect and show its cause or causes.To make this relationship clear, use words such as

cause, reason, effect, result, because, so that,since, consequently, therefore.

Lets have some activities.

F. Enrichment ActivityActivity 1

I have here strips of paper where five of these strips are causes and other strips areeffects. From these strips, form a sentence that shows cause and effect relationship.

Fires often occur in summer Children fly kites in summer

because everything is hot and dry because summer winds are strongThe Philippines is a hot country Most Syria is dry and semi-desert

because of its location near the equator so it has little agricultureInsects sprays and ways matter have polluted the environment

so many birds and animals are dying
