Written Work #2 PROUD TO BE PINOY
We all know that Philippines have many tourist spots that are worth visiting more than once. Let us
suppose you are writing a letter addressed to a far-off friend who wants to visit the country. Write at least three
(3) paragraphs about your place. Write it on any clean paper and attached it on this page when you passed it.
Performance Task #2 DO BLOG, BE A BLOGGER
You are a freelance writer and blogger who wishes to join in an international blogging contest. The
contest requires a creative nonfiction place on one’s native city or town, with not less than five (5) paragraphs.
It should revolve around the theme, “The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind”, a
quotation from scholar and politician Cicero.
The explicit instruction is for one to give not just the positive characteristics, but also the seamy or
unpleasant side of the place (including the writer’s painful or terrible experience), as well as his/her personal
reflections. Pictures may also be added. Your blog is for netizens who will choose the winning blog among the
entries on the basis of creativity, clarity and accuracy. You may also do this in other paper and attached it on
this page.
