What This Module is About
In this module, you will learn more about detecting and determining
unsupported generalizations and exaggerations in texts and in employing analytical
listening. These are necessary skills that you need to develop to become a critical
thinker as you read and listen and make sound decisions independently.
This learning material is specially crafted to provide you with independent and
self-directed learning experiences and to have more autonomy and control over your
learning. This module will also help you improve your academic performance, increase
motivation and confidence, make choices, and decisions about how to meet your
learning needs, take responsibility for constructing and carrying out your learning.
The competencies included in this module are considered as the most essential
competencies which need to be mastered by a Grade 10 student like you. These
competencies are anchored on the general principles, goals, and objectives of the K
to 12 Basic Education program for Grade 10 students, to become productive and
active participants in the society you belong.
There are two learning competencies, which would mean two lessons to work
on in this module. Each lesson is built around a particular text for you to explore
meaningfully through a variety of integrated, challenging, and exciting tasks.

Notes to the Teacher:
Our normal and long-held views about schools and our roles as teachers
will never be the same. Transitioning to new normal education requires us to unlearn
what we have already known. It is our challenge as a teacher to break down the walls
and respond to this pandemic by overcoming the learning crisis we are facing. Let us
embrace the new learning modalities to make changes that could eventually result in
better outcomes for our learners. Let us always uphold the right to quality education
by providing any modes or pathways to learning and assuring that all learners have
the same chances for quality education.
You are now facing a new normal education. This alternative learning
module is the best way of replacing the traditional face to face classes. This module
is crafted and simplified concerning the essential competencies according to your
grade level. This is a self-guided learning wherein you are going to learn independently
at your own pace, but your teacher can help you speed up the learning process. This
requires you to think critically and be empowered to respond and hone your macro-
learning skills. It is quite a tough task for you, but you can ask for assistance from your
teacher and your parents or from anyone who could help you.

Like all the creatures on earth, the spider has an essential place in nature.
But many people dislike spiders. Some people believe all spiders are harmful. In
North America, there are six kinds of spiders whose bites can harm human, like
the black widows. However, people usually sweep out spiders and their webs
whenever they see them. This is unfortunate because indoors and outdoors,
spiders destroy millions of insect pests each year. In some parts of the world,
spiders are brought right into the house and welcomed as superior flycatchers!

What Is It
Why listen?
There are five main reasons why do people listen.
1. To be able to engage in social rituals
- As a social being, a man usually engages in social rituals such as exchanging
pleasantries, engaging in small talk, attending meetings, and the like.
7
2. To get information
- In school, students have to listen attentively to get important ideas from a
discussion/lesson.
3. To be able to respond to “controls.”
- There is a need for an attentive listening to be able to follow directions and
instructions given orally.
4. To respond to feelings
- It is necessary to listen with empathy to understand what a person means and
how he or she feels. This situation occurs when one listens to complaints or
secrets.
5. To enjoy
- Listening enables us to share a good laugh with others as when we exchange
jokes. It could also serve as a source of pleasure when we listen to music and
oral interpretation of literary pieces.
Listening can be classified into several types, depending on how you pay
attention to what is being said or heard.
Appreciative listening- Thus, type of listening gives the listener the pleasure,
maybe from the humor, or the blending of voices in choric arrangements.

What’s More
You are going to listen carefully to a recorded dialog entitled “Taking Notes of
House Rules.” The dialog involves Jane, a new boarder of Aling Cita, a very
meticulous lady. Her room is on the second floor of a new apartment building.
In this listening activity, you are going to study the picture as well, and answer
the activity that follows, in your activity notebook.
Jane: Well, it’s a lovely room. Its size is just right for me.
Aling Cita: Oh, yes. It’s a good-sized room, and it’s well-furnished.
Jane: Yes. I can see that. Is there anything I should know?
Aling Cita: Well, I don’t allow the cat to go upstairs at all.
Jane: Oh. Not at all?
Aling Luz: Absolutely not! I don’t like cats upstairs. And I don’t allow people to
smoke in the bedroom.
Jane: That’s okay with me. I don’t smoke anyway.
Aling Cita: I don’t allow people to stick up pictures on the wall with tape. You
see, when you take the pictures down, the scotch tape or masking tape leaves
marks on the wall.
Jane: Oh, I see. Can I use thumbtacks instead?
Aling Cita: Oh, yes. Something like that. But do not use big nails. They leave
holes on the wall. Then, if you go out, please remember to close the
window.
Jane: Right! I’ll do that.
Aling Cita: And there’s a kettle for you to boil water in. Place it on the floor and
Not on the chest of drawers or cabinet.
Jane: I know. It will leave a mark, especially if it is hot. Is there anything else?
Aling Cita: One last thing- please keep your room tidy. Hang your clothes and
see to it that your books and papers should be on the table or shelf.
Jane: All right, Aling Cita. I’ll try to remember all you said to me.
