see she was talking to two boys sitting on the benches immediately in front of her.
Her voice wasn’t exactly strange, but she was speaking very loudly, in the sort of
voice she’d use to announce something to the lot of us, and that was why we’d all
gone quiet. “No, Peter, I’m going to have to stop you. I can’t listen to you anymore
and keep silent.” - Kazuo Ishiguro

HARRY (seeing red): Well, there are times I wish you weren't my son.

There's a silence. ALBUS nods. Pause. HARRY realizes what he's said.

No, I didn't mean that . . .

ALBUS: Yes. You did.

HARRY: Albus, you just know how to get under my skin . . .

ALBUS: You meant it, Dad. And, honestly, I don't blame you.

There's a horrible pause.

You should probably leave me alone now.

What Is It

When you cross your arms, people may assume that you are either feeling
cold or you express disagreement. In every action, there are a lot of possible
messages and interpretations.
This is how communication works. The process of communication refers to
the passage of information or message from the sender through a selected channel
to the receiver. As shown in the diagram below, communication is cyclic or repeated.

MESSAGE

SENDER RECEIVER

FEEDBACK

Try this. Fill in the blanks with the correct words from the diagram.

The (1) ______________ begins the communication by sending a message. A


message is an information which may be sent either in written or spoken form.
Symbols and gestures may also be used.

The sender transmits the message directly or through a

(2) ______________ or medium like telephone and letter.


The one who gets the message is called (3) ______________. The latter, either
directly or through a channel, will then give a (4) ______________ to the sender.

Sometimes, there is breakdown in communication if there is


(5) ______________ . It may be defined as anything that might interfere with
communication or reduce the chance of successful communication. Passing traffic,
loud music and faulty channel are just some of the examples of this.

City of Good Character


DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 5
Communication can either be verbal or nonverbal. Both types may be written
or spoken.

Verbal Communication uses words to share information with others.


You could converse either face to face, or over the phone, or even via voice notes or
chat rooms, etc. It all comes under the verbal communication. This form of
communication is an effective form.

Example: Jerome: You’ve been awfully quiet. Are you okay?


Johna: Yes, I’m okay.

Nonverbal Communication are relayed without the transmission of words.


This form of communication mainly aides verbal communication. It supplements it
with gestures, body language, symbols, and expressions.
Example: Jerome: You’ve been awfully quiet. Are you okay?
Johna: (Gently nods)

Try this. Verbal or Nonverbal?

The Lottery is a short story written by Shirley Jackson. It is about a


community that holds a lottery with a very dreadful prize. Read the excerpt below
and answer the questions that follow.

(1) “Tessie,” Mr. Summers said. There was a pause, and then Mr. Summers
looked at Bill Hutchinson, and Bill unfolded his paper and showed it. It was
blank.
(2) “It’s Tessie,” Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. “Show us her
paper, Bill. “

(3) Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her
hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night
before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office. Bill Hutchinson held it
up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
(4) “All right, folks,” Mr. Summers said. “Let’s finish quickly. “

(5) Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box,
they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier
was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that
had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up
with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. “Come on,” she said. “Hurry up. “

(6) Mrs. Dunbar had small stones in both hands, and she said, gasping for
breath. “I can’t run at all. You’ll have to go ahead and I’ll catch up with you.”

(7) The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson a
few pebbles.

(8) Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held
her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she
said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, “Come
on, come on, everyone. ” Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers,
with Mrs. Graves beside him.

(9) “It isn’t fair, it isn’t right,” Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were
upon her.

Additional Activities

In The Lottery, there is a terrifying ritual that people blindly follow. The author
clearly suggests a big challenge for its readers: the importance of questioning a
practice or tradition.
Are you up to this challenge? Get your friends’ or relatives’ opinion on the
practices and societal issues below. Take note of the verbal and nonverbal messages
of your interviewees.

1. K-Pop Invasion
One study revealed that Filipino youths’ excessive exposure to Korean Pop
Culture (KPop) slowly takes away the local values and traditions. For example,
teenagers use skin whitening soaps and creams because of their new beauty
standards. Plastic surgery seems acceptable now too. Do we have to limit teen’s
exposure to KPop?

2. Nepotism

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 13
Nepotism is a favoritism given to relatives in various fields like business, politics,
entertainment and sports. In the Philippines, there are municipalities where
members of the same family hold public positions. Corruption and unfair practices
are just some of its ill effects. Should we still allow nepotism in the government?

What Is It

As a teenager, you are already aware of how you should talk to particular
types of people. Today, we are going to explore that through the discussion of
Communicative Styles.
According to Martin Joos (1976), Communicative Style or Speech Style
means the form of language that the speaker uses which is characterized by the
degree of formality.
Example: You may greet your friend casually like “Hey!” but not your parent
or teacher under normal situations.

There are four Communicative Styles:

1. Frozen

Frozen style is a style which is intended to be remembered and used in very


formal setting such as in palace, church ritual, speech for state ceremony, and
some other occasions. Usually, this style involves very large group of people whose
members are known to one another.

Example: Pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws, etc.

_____ 1. Jenny is attending the Sunday Mass now.

_____ 2. Joanne recites the Lord’s Prayer.


_____ 3. Rose talked to the priest after the mass.

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE 16
2. Intimate
Intimate speech is used in conversation between people who are very close
and know each other quite well because they have the maximum of shared
background information.

Example: Couple talking about their future plans, family sharing ideas, very
close friends sharing secrets, etc.

Try this: Identify if Intimate or Not Intimate

_____ 4. Joanna attends the seminar about Teenage Pregnancy.


_____ 5. Grace gives her mother a message for her birthday.

3. Casual
This is an informal communication between groups and peers. Casual style
is used in conversation between friends and insiders who have something to share
and have shared background information but don’t have close relations.

Example: Phone calls, everyday conversation with friends, chats, etc.

Try this: Identify if Casual or Not Casual

_____ 6. The lawyer discussed the case with his client.

_____ 7. Richard asked his classmate for the teacher’s instructions.

4. Consultative
This style is used in semi-formal communication. Sentences tend to be
shorter and spontaneous and the speaker does not usually plan what he/she will
say.

Example: Doctor-patient conversation

Try this: Identify if Consultative or Not Consultative

_____ 8. The seminar participant asks the speaker a question.


_____ 9. Maricell calls her best friend to ask for advice.

_____ 10. The Health Secretary delivered a speech yesterday.

Between 1941 and 1945, the holocaust happened wherein Jews were
brought to concentration camps and about 6 million of them were killed. The
passages below are from the diary of Anne Frank. Anne and her family hid in an
attic to avoid the holocaust. Read the passages and answer the questions that
follow.

October 9th 1942: “Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to
report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in
droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in
cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all
the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It
must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less
to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and
sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and
women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible;
many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that
bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places
where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being
murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the
quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so
heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m

actually one of them! No, that’s not true, Hitler took away our nationality long
ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and
Jews.”

October 20th 1942: “My hands still shaking, though it’s been two hours since
we had the scare… The office staff stupidly forgot to warn us that the carpenter,
or whatever he’s called, was coming to fill the extinguishers… After working for
about fifteen minutes, he laid his hammer and some other tools on our bookcase
(or so we thought!) and banged on our door. We turned white with fear. Had he
heard something after all and did he now want to check out this mysterious
looking bookcase? It seemed so, since he kept knocking, pulling, pushing and
jerking on it. I was so scared I nearly fainted at the thought of this total stranger
managing to discover our wonderful hiding place…”
