Our daily life essentially involves visual media such that we can become active in the
modern way of communicating around the world through the television and online platforms.
We see everyday ads, films, diagrams, symbols, photos, images, drama, sketches, sculpture and
paintings that develops our viewing skills as the fifth macro skill to learn English.

Viewing lets you understand the message by looking and testing for understanding. It is
classified according to the purpose and type of the presented information. The classification of
viewing is also called as genres of viewing.
Genres of Viewing

There are certain news that requires urgent airing from several news organization to
quickly relay the news even interrupting the current airing program is called news flash.

Another genre is called weather report, which is a part of a whole news program that is
about reporting the current of the future weather updates based on the data collected and is
shown as graphical content for viewers to understand them easily. When you are wondering
what the weather update is or you wanted to know if you should bother bring an umbrella if you
are going outside, then you should stay tuned to the news program and wait for the weather
update.

Internet-based program are shows that can be accessed through internet platforms.
These requires internet access obviously, many of these platforms are used by you, Netflix,
iWant TV, Kissasian, Kissanime and much more are examples of internet-based programs that
you can access with your TV’s, computers, laptops, and with your phones.

When you saw a short video clips of something that promotes a show or a movie it is
called a trailer or a movie trailer. In this video clips they usually show the part of a movie where
the viewer will want to know what happens next, it is sometimes called a teaser.

Ultimately, a documentary is a research focused kind of experience. Generally you can

see that in the long run. Since it is long, it has the potential to get us a wider, more involved and
clearer view of the current issues.

Activity 3 Language Connections

Read and understand the following sentences.

 A documentary provides objective knowledge that shows us the rapidly

changing climate.
 An successful news flash is written with very specific information of
some events that may affect us
 Learning weather reports are helpful in determining future events.
 Process Questions:

1. What do you notice about the underlined words?

2. In you previous English lessons way back, can you remember what are the
underlined words called?

3. How about the words that are on bold and italic letters, what do you notice
about them?

4. Which of them are singular? And those who are plural?

5. What do you remember about the selected words as the subject and verbs in
the sentence?

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being
something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question,
"Who or what 'verbs point to'?" and the answer to that question is the subject.

The underlined words above are the subject of their sentence. The words documentary,
news flash, and weather report are the subjects while the words with bold and italic letters are
the verbs.

Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Along
with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking
place. In fact, without a verb, full thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the simplest
sentences, such as Maria sings, have one. Actually, a verb can be a sentence by itself, with the
subject, in most case you, implied, such as, Sing! and Drive!

Basic Rule on Subject – Verb Agreement

 Subject and verbs must match in number

-A singular subject must only have a singular verb and vice-versa.

Ms. Umali is a teacher by Profession. A good students are diligent when studying

 When we consider the best information which creates value, viewing is more substantial and
efficient. If we choose what we view carefully we can filter information related to our viewing purposes:
entertainment and knowledge.

Today, more than ever, we need to educate ourselves on critical topics and to find diverse and
credible sources of knowledge. Understanding the critical and truthful details about recent events
around the globe, it's really important that we check the reliable sources of knowledge about our world

Such viewing genres offer an opportunity to comprehend and interact with the world. They are
also perfect place to meet with friends and watch and connect through in our time's important issues.
