B. 3 sentences D. 5 sentences
Great! You still remember the previous lesson about main ideas and
supporting details. Such lesson helped you understand the important elements
of a text or a paragraph. A paragraph or a series of paragraphs make a specific
type of text. Read on and find out more about text types.
What’s New
At this point, you will read different paragraphs that make up specific text
types. Text types classify texts according to their purposes, so they are structured
differently, too. Some texts narrate a series of events, while others explain how
something works. Other text types give instructions or list procedures, while others
argue for a point to convince readers. In this module, sample text types are given
and explained so that you can eventually write your own paragraphs.
5 CO_Q4_English 8_Module
Text types may be categorized in a number of ways. The following lists the
more common text types you read almost every day.
Personal recount - retells past events that the writer was personally
involved in. Diary entries and short personal memoirs are examples of
personal recounts
Factual recount - retells events that also happened in real life but may
not be about the writer himself/herself. News reports and witness
statements are examples of factual recounting.
6 CO_Q4_English 8_Module
What is It
Text types are distinguished from one another based on their purpose, their
structure, and recurrent language features.
Directions: Analyze the following examples and describe how ideas are developed
in each sample text type.
Example 1. Narrative
Friendship Detour
by Clarit, Tresh
Aga’s fun afternoon was replaced with sadness. The moment he checked his
timeline on Facebook, Bobby was the topic. Aga was shocked that his best friend,
Bobby died. Five hours earlier, they ate chicken barbecue and enjoyed the view of
their favorite beach resort. After that, they proceeded to a nearby restaurant and
ordered the best-selling halo-halo. They saw other friends enjoying their meals, too.
Aga just decided to go home to rest for the next day’s trip. They both got into their
motorbikes. That was the last time Aga saw him.
Example 2. Explanation
Sleep is like food for your brain. Getting enough sleep is important for your
physical and mental wellbeing. Sleep lets your mind recharge and process
information. It’s the only part of the day that your body gets to rest and repair.
Sleep can also help you feel better, think more clearly, and concentrate better. It
gives you energy to complete tasks and can make you more alert. Without enough
sleep you may have problems with thinking, concentrating, memory, reaction times
and mood.

Memories Last a Lifetime
by Clarit, Tresh
My family used to visit my grandparents’ farm in the province. I had all the
first-time experiences such as: riding on a carabao, climbing fruit trees, swimming
in the river and pounding pinipig rice. I could not forget also how my mother
cooked her special bibingka or rice cake for us. I felt that life in the farm was fun.
It made me realize that happiness cannot only be found at the city but also in the
countryside.
Riding in a spacecraft named Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong and company were
determined to reach the moon. On July 20, 1969, they successfully made it. “One
giant leap for mankind!” the historical line exclaimed by Neil Armstrong. This has
been a tough challenge to an astronaut’s mission that brought success to his nation.
Such honor made him noteworthy. Carrying his nation’s flag placed on the moon’s
surface was a victory.
