Directions: Use the graphic organizer to outline your own realization on “what

lesson in life did the COVID-19 pandemic have taught you?” Your writing will be
measured through the given rubric. After you have done writing the outline,
combine and rewrite all the sentences in a paragraph form. Write your answers on
the space provided.

Topic sentence:
We all know that COVID-19 is still active and we need to keep ourselves safe. We still
use face masks to keep us away from the disease. We don’t know when the pandemic
ends. But even though the pandemic made our life even harder, we still learned a lot
about hardworking, independent, and other new things.

Supporting detail 1:
When the government announced that Philippines will be having a strict lockdown, I’m
going crazy overthinking what will happen. I don’t know what to do in the first 2 weeks of
being stuck in the house. But I have to accept that this is really the reality now. To avoid
being bored at home, I started helping my family in household chores since I don’t have
time for this when pandemic haven’t started. But now, I got the chance to give my time
in my family even now that I’m in the online mode of classes.

Supporting detail 2:
Aside from having quality time with my family, I also made new friends through my
online classes; playing video games like ML, CODM, and Roblox; and even in social
medias. At least it made me comfortable and happy unlike when the pandemic just
started. Being lonely in the house sometimes gives me peace, I just want to be alone
like no one is distracting me. It also improved my communication by texting.

Concluding sentence:
Overall, we shouldn’t be mad for having the pandemic in our lives. Pandemic still though
us a lot of lessons that will gain us more knowledge. Look at us now, we managed to
overcome the hardest part of our life for the past 2 years. I still prioritize my studies well,
my career, my family, and also myself. I know that my friends and my family are always
there for me in my difficulties but also they can’t be always be there for me.
