A. Linear to non-linear text. Read the paragraph below. Carefully examine the
data presented in the paragraph and interpret by copying the table in your
English notebook and fill in the needed data on the spaces with asterisks (*).
On Saving
As a young teen, Riz does not enjoy as much as other teenagers would. Her weekends
are spent on looking for work so she can earn her allowance. She spends two hundred
pesos a week. One hundred pesos for her lunch, eighty pesos for her fare and twenty
pesos for classroom dues.
She earns more than what she needs for the week. On Saturdays, her routine would be
to go to a distant relative and wash clothes for a small earning of one hundred pesos. In
the afternoon, she volunteers weeding at a neighbor’s garden for an hour and gratefully
receives fifty pesos for the work extended.
On Sunday after church, she would iron out her teacher’s uniform for a fee of one
hundred pesos. Despite her weekend routine, she remains to be one of the smartest in
class.

Assessment
Activity 9: Sum It Up!
I. Transcode the linear text below to non-linear text. (5 points)
1-5. Read carefully the selection below. Copy the Venn diagram and write the
similarities and differences between Youtube and Facebook. For the similarities,
write your answers inside the overlapping space. For their differences, write your
answers inside the common space of the two circles.
The DNA of Youtube and Facebook are different. Youtube is a video
hosting platform which is run by its parent organization – Google (Alphabet).
Google’s DNA is search and hence the same DNA is applicable to Youtube.
What this essentially means is that – Videos which we create are properly
‘searchable’.
Where in a Facebook is a ‘video also’ sharing platform and its DNA is
‘virality’. In fact, we need Facebook only to make ‘Youtube video’ viral. Having
said that, the problem with Facebook is that, it is difficult to search for a particular
video.
