1. Understanding Different Text Types

2. Text Types Prose Unlike poetry, prose does not fall into neatly defined forms such as sonnets, blank verse, etc.

3. We must therefore look at the 'type' of prose and consider its function or objective — i.e. to inform, to describe, to change, etc.

4. Narrative This is the most common type of prose found in novels and stories. Basically it relates to any sort of writing that tells a story or develops a plot.

5. Keep the Faith By Mark Anthony O. Obispo Volcanic eruption, pandemic lockdowns, typhoons, earthquakes, and other catastrophic events have ravaged our country. Honestly speaking, some of you might question your faith in God. Maybe by now you are asking why He let things happen this way. As Filipino, I believe that we can easily rise up to the challenges around us. For now, prayer and resiliency are the number one weapons we Filipinos need to overcome the obstacles that hit us. Let us not also forget the spirit of “ Bayanihan ” that implies something about working together happily. If yesterday is a bad day, let us walk hand in hand with faith in God that these morbid situations be gone in a period of time. For every yesterday of agony and awe there is always tomorrow of heroism and new beginning. Let us not reside from “crab mentality” rather, reside from “We” mentality wherein we can exercise helping each other and putting our faith in God so that He will give us courage and optimism in this world. No matter what happens, do not give up. Do not question God, for He has better plans for all of us. Dear countrymen, believe. Pray, we can rise up. We can do this. Push forward, Keep the faith.

7. D. Didactic/Directive This writing attempts to influence the reader's thinking or behavior in a specific manner, as the writer seeks to persuade, or cajole, or coerce the reader into thinking in a certain way.

8. Example Here is a poor burdened sinner. I come from the City of Destruction, but am going to Mount Zion, that I may be delivered from the Wrath to come; I would therefore, Sir, since I am informed that by this Gate is the Way thither, know if you are willing to let me in?
