The Man with the Coconuts Adapted story from Mabel Cook Cole,
Philippine Folk Tales One day, there was a man who had been in the
forest to gather his coconuts. He loaded his horse heavily with them.
On his way home, he met a boy and a girl whom he asked on how long
it would take him to reach the house. "If you go slowly," said the boy,
looking at the load on the horse, "you will arrive very soon; but if you
go fast, it will take you all day." The man could not believe this strange
speech, so, he hurried his horse. However, the coconuts fell off and he
had to stop to pick them up. Then, he hurried his horse all the more to
make up for lost time; still, the coconuts fell off again. Many times he
did this, and it was night when he reached home.

B. Being close-minded is good for you.
C. Accepting help from others is a bad thing.
D. If you rush things out, you will never finish your work on time.
WHAT’S NEW
Directions: Read the dialog below.

Self Check:
 What is the dialog all about?
 What is the concern of Anna’s parents in enrolling her to class this school year? 
How did Mrs. Cruz convince Anna and her parents to attend school?
 In the first response of Anna, how did she explain to her teacher about her
whereabouts during the present situation?

The use of “since” expresses time describing when she started to stay inside
their house. It can also express cause or reason like in the statement, "Since
we have internet at home, I think I can do online.”
  In the response of Mrs. Cruz regarding Ana attending school, how is the
word “although” used?
Although in the sentence expresses reason and provide an option to
answer the problem mentioned in the situation.
 Try deleting the words despite and although, what do you think will
happen to the statements above?
Without those words, the statement seems choppy and
disconnected. The ideas presented look as if they are not unified.
 Why is it important that our ideas are interconnected?
It is important for us to be understood by the readers as well as for clear
presentation of ideas.
 How can we ensure that our ideas are linked together? What devices
should we use?

WHAT IS IT
Let us learn more about other strategies to achieve cohesion and the different
connectors called cohesive devices which you can use in writing.

Study the sentences below. These are some responses which are taken from the
previous dialogue.
1. Stay healthy and enjoy learning with us.

2. Therefore, we do not have to worry anymore.

3. However, my parents told me to stay home and stop schooling because

they are
concerned of my safety.

C. Discussion Let us discuss more about cohesive devices.

Cohesion in writing may be achieved through the following means:

1. Repetition of words or ideas. This helps to focus your ideas and to keep your
reader on track.
2. Use of synonyms for key words and phrases. Synonyms are words that have
essentially the same meaning, and they provide some variety of word choices,
helping the reader to stay focused on the idea being discussed.
3. Pronouns / Determiners. This, that, these, those, he, she, it, they, and we are
useful pronouns for referring to something previously mentioned. Be sure,
however, that what you are referring to is clear.
4. Use transitional devices (linkers, conjunctions or connectors). These are words
which give cues to the readers on the relationships between sentences, joining
sentences together.

Types of Conjunctions

1. Coordinating Conjunctions
These conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses of equal value. Clauses or
equal value are called independent clauses and can stand on their own as separate
sentence.
2. Subordinating Conjunctions
The clause beginning with the subordinating conjunction is always the subordinate
clause, which depends on the main clause and cannot exist without it.
3. Adverbial Conjunctions
These are words that join independent clauses into one sentence. A conjunctive
adverb helps you create a shorter sentence. When you use a conjunctive adverb,
put a semicolon (;) before it and a comma (,) after it.
