Oceans and lakes have much in common,
but they are also quite different. Both are bodies
of water, but oceans are very large bodies of
salt water, while lakes are much smaller bodies
of freshwater. Lakes are usually surrounded by
land, while oceans are what surround
continents.
Both have plants and animals living in them.
The ocean is home to the largest animals on
the planet, whereas lakes support much
smaller forms of life. When it is time for a
vacation, both will make a great place to visit
and enjoy.

PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT

-The logical arrangement of ideas.The


pattern helps you follow ideas easily and
understand a text better.
1. NARRATION

● Narration, in its basest definition, is story


telling. It is a sequence of events, not
necessarily arranged in chronological order,
told by a narrator, happening in a particular
place at a particular time.
● Narration is creating a world based on the
writer’s imagination. It is also revisiting a
world based on the author’s memory.
● The reader is aimed to be transported
from one’s real world to the reality of the
story being read.
2. DEFINITION

● Using definition to develop an idea helps


to clarify and explain concepts by
answering the question “What does it
mean?” This pattern explains the
information using illustrations, examples,
and descriptions.
3. EXEMPLIFICATION

● presents the general statement and then


provides specific and concrete examples to
expound on the main idea.
● this pattern is used to provide an example of
something.
4. DESCRIPTION

● Basically provides details on the idea by


using either a sensory or spatial pattern.
● Through a sensory pattern, ideas are
arranged based on one or all of the five
senses. A spatial pattern, on the other hand,
arranges ideas by location or physical space.
5. COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

● organizes ideas based on how the events,


places, people, things, and concepts are
similar to or different from one another.
● Try using a Venn diagram or a
compare/contrast matrix to better understand
this pattern of development.

iOS(8x) while S5 uses Android (5.0, 2.4.2).
In
terms of the camera, S5 has a
2.1megapixel front-facing camera which is
higher than iPhone’s 1.2 megapixels. Unlike
S5, iPhone’s battery is not user -
replaceable and has a shorter talk time, but
when it comes to built-in storage, iPhone 6
outperforms S5. Now that you know the
6. CLASSIFICATION AND DIVISION

● organizes ideas into categories or divisions


based on criteria and standards.
● This pattern can be used when classifying
people, things, places, and other items.
7. CAUSE and EFFECT

● A cause-effect pattern organizes details


based on the cause, the reason, and the
result or consequences of a certain
phenomenon.
8. PROBLEM-SOLUTION

into problems and proposed solutions. The
problem section usually includes what, who,
when, where, why, and how of the problem.
