C.Closure

Based on what you have read and heard in the discussion, write your definition of peace.

D. Assignment

According to the author, peace should start from within oneself. Write a composition on how you can

best promote peace.

War and Peace

1. Insofar as man is an animal, he lives by struggle, he lives at theexpense of others whom he fears and hates. Life then is a war.

2. Peace is much harder to define. Peace is neither an originalparadisiacal state nor a form of co-existence by mutual consent.Peace is something we can only sense and search for. True peace ismore difficult and unusual than any other achievement even for two

persons who live together and need each other.

3. For thousands of years we have known the mighty and fundamentalmaxim: "Thou shall not kill." Yet, we have created a conscience andtechnology that manufactures explosives and poison gases.

4. Many believe that the last war set in motion such a giganticmechanism of horror that future generations would befrightened of ever making war again. But, the opinion isabsolutely mistaken. Fear teaches men nothing. If men enjoykilling, no memory of war will deter them. Nor will theknowledge of the material damage wrought by war.

5. That is why I believe that world peace cannot be brought about bypreaching, organization, and propaganda, just as a philosopher'sstone cannot be invented by a congress of chemists. What then cangive rise to a true spirit of peace on earth? Not commandments andnot practical experience. Like all human progress, the love of peacemust come from knowledge which may be seen and formulated in athousand different ways. But it must always embody one truth: theknowledge of the living substance in each of us, of the secret magic,the secret godliness that each of us bears within. Where that supremeknowledge is present (as in Jesus, Buddha, Plato, or Lao-Tzu), athreshold is crossed beyond which miracles begin. There was andenemy cease. Any enemy becomes a brother; death becomes birth,disgrace; honor; calamity; good fortune.

6. What I am saying is self-evident. But just as every soldier shot todeath is the eternal repetition of an error, so the truth must berepeated forever and ever in a thousand forms.

7. Therefore to us erring brothers, love is possible even in discord,not judgment or hatred, but patient love and loving patience leadus closer to the goal.


6/12

Day 3

A. Recapitulation

1. When you have hurt anyone or you have quarreled with someone, would you be at peace with

yourself? Why? Why not?

2. What do we usually say to express sorrow or regret?

B. Tasks

Task 1 Sharing on the assigned task

1. Ask students to read their composition to the class. Comments, reactions, or suggestions may be

given.

2. Ask the class to exchange papers and check for errors in capitalization, punctuation and spelling.

Task 2

[Ask the class to read the lists of expressions used to express sorrow.]

1. What do these expressions show?

2. On what occasions can you use them?

3. What determines the type of expressions to use?

[Talk briefly about the appropriate levels of language.]

I'm sorry.I'm sorry about . . .I'm sorry that . . .Let me say how sorry I am to hear that . . .I want to express my sorrow at . . .I feel sorry for you . . .I want to express my sorrow at ...I feel bad that . . .I regret having to ...I regret to announce that . . . .I have my regrets about . . .

Appropriate Levels of Language

(For teacher's use) The appropriateness of language is determined by

several factors. The matter under discussion, the person speaking or writing,

the person addressed, the time and place, and the circumstances in which

the interaction is taking place.

Example:

To a friend, you can say, "Get lost!"

To a visitor, you probably will say, "I'm sorry. I don't need you here."

Although attitudes toward correct levels of language have become less

demanding in recent years, it is essential to know the right language to use

when speaking or writing to different persons on different occasions.

Day 5 Writing

A. Recapitulation

B. Tasks

Task 1

Presentation

What is a prcis (pray-see)?

The word prcis comes is a French word which means terse or exact.

It is a form of summary writing that gives the main idea of a longer piece of writing in a very compact

form, but without, in any way, modifying or changing the writer's tone or point of view.

A prcis is concise, usually one-third or one-fourth of the length of the original.

Task 2

Study the following excerpts from speeches and compare each with the prcis that follows:

Excerpt A

You have come into the great nation voluntarily seeking something that we have to give, and all thatwe have to give is this: We cannot exempt you from work. No man is exempted from work anywhere inthe world. We cannot exempt you from the strife and the heartbreaking burden of the struggle of the day

that is common to mankind everywhere; we cannot exempt you from the load that you must carry. We canonly make them light by the spirit in which they are carried. That is the spirit of hope, it is the spirit ofliberty, it is the spirit of justice.


11/12

Summary or prcis:

You come to this nation seeking something and this is

what we give youwork. We cannot exempt you from the

struggles that are common to all men everywhere. We can only

make them lighter in the spirit of hope, of liberty and of justice.

Excerpt B

We ought also to learn early that we don't always succeed. A good batting average in baseball is300; a good batting average in life is a great deal lower than that. Life holds many more defeats thanvictories for all of us. Shouldn't we get used to this early? We can hit. "A man's reach should exceed hisgrasp, or what's heaven for?" What we fail to do today, we or someone may do tomorrow. Our failure maypave the way for someone else's success.

Summary or prcis:

We should learn early enough to accept failure. At the sametime, we should learn to aim high. We should learn to regard

failures as stepping stones for someone else's success.

Note that the prcis follows the author's arrangement of

ideas, thought for thought. The following steps are to be

followed in writing prcis.

1. Read the selection carefully.

2. Look up in the dictionary the meaning of unfamiliar words.

3. Get the main ideas by looking for key words or phrases.

4. Rewrite those main ideas. Use your own words limiting your number of words to one third or one-

fourth of the original piece.

5. Stick as closely as you can to the flow of ideas of the original piece when you write your prcis.

6. Check your prcis against the original prcis. See when you can revise some more. Check the

important thoughts to be sure you didn't miss any.

7. Ask someone who has not read the original text to read the prcis. If it is understood, then you

have written a good prcis.

Task 3

Write a prcis of the following passage. Be sure that you follow the steps in writing a prcis.

In order that life may have meaning it has to be spent for God and for others. To live only for oneselfis to live a life without meaning. Sooner or later, one realizes that one's life is but an empty shell because

one has not really loved. On the other hand, if life has to have a meaning it has to be spent for others.This is because man is made to live with others. This is because man is a social being. In the finalanalysis our meaning in life lies on howmuch we have contributed to the happiness, welfare and well-being of others. And in order that our giving of ourselves to our fellowmen be in the right track and not offtrack, we need to give ourselves to God.

D. Assignment

Write a prcis of any feature article from your local dailies or weekly magazines.
