SAWATDEE....HELLO, BEAUTIFUL BANGKOK BY ETHEL SOLIVEN- TIMBOL Bangkok known as Krun Thep, which is Thai for “City of Angels,” beckons with its golden roofed temples and spicily curried cuisine. Seven million visitors 9

come to Thailand each year spending an average of six to seven days because there is so much to see and to relish in this “Exotic Orient” as one enamoured traveller dubbed the country. Our agenda for the first day of our tour started with a tour of Wat Po. One of the 370 temples in Bangkok alone, it is home to the famous Reclining Buddha, which is said to be 46 meters long. Also world–famous are the golden Buddha at the Wat Trinig (“wat” being Thai for “temple”) and the dazzling Emerald Buddha. There are 2100 temples in all of Thailand, where 90 percent of the people are Buddhists. Our loquacious guide regales us with the colourful history of Bangkok and how it became the imperial city 300 years ago, when the god-king Rama I moved the royal residence to this side of the Chao Phraya River. Today, a boat excursion takes visitors on a tour of the old city, winding down the “klong” canals for a glimpse of the water dwellers and the ancient edifices, remnants of an era when Rama I divided his city into three sections: for the Thais, the Chinese and the Indians. The best buys of Thai silks, spices and crafts are still at the riverside markets where one can also produce gold, jade and other precious jewelry. Not to be missed are the Temple of the Dawn along the Chao Phraya, a showcase of Chinese porcelain mosaics, and the Temple of the Giant Swing for some of the finest murals. Only for strong knees is the Temple of the Golden Mount, atop a climb of 300 steps, housing one of the largest bronze buddhas in the world. The Reclining Buddha was shipped from China by King Rama I, who also built the Wat Po Temple on a 20-hectare compound adjacent to the Royal Palace, circa 1782, in the 2222-old Chinese section. The King had also brought with him excellent samples of porcelain, which the court artisans used to decorate pagodas using their elaborate spires. At the main temple, devotees buy one–inch gold leaf squares which they stick to smaller buddhas as offering to their god. Everyday, morning ceremonies are held at an adjacent temple surrounded by four magnificent monuments: the first in red built by Rama I; the second in yellow, by Rama II; the third in green by Rama III; and the fourth in blue, by Rama IV. Just as fascinating is the sala tree under which, according to legend, Buddha was born (although in India). Its pink and red flowers are sweetsmelling, a contrast to the brown gourd which are the “fruit “of the sala tree. To cap a hectic first day, we had dinner at the Baa Thai Restaurant while watching heavily costumed folk dancers from the lowland and highland villages, including favorite destinations, like Chiang Mai, the second largest city up north, from whence one can visit the winter palace of the Royal Family and the training school for working elephants. Amazingly, Bangkok is clean, especially the day after Wednesday, which is “Clean Up Day” according to our guide. So the sidewalk eateries are relatively sanitary, although foreign visitors are advised to stick to bottled mineral water or soft drinks. In spite of the colossal traffic jams, no thanks to the ubiquitous “toktok” pedicabs, the air smells cleaner and less polluted than in Manila. Source: English for Secondary Schools Myrna S. Torres Adapted from The Manila Bulletin, June 2, 1996.

ACTIVITY 4. WHO’S THE NEXT? Group yourselves into five (5) and you will be assigned names such as WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW. Each group will construct questions that begin with the name of the group. Your questions will be taken from the selection read, and these will be thrown to the group of your choice. Your performance as a group will depend on how well you have responded to the questions asked. 10

Example: Group WHAT: What is the mood of the writer while telling the story? Group WHERE? Answer: The mood of the writer while telling the story is happy and excited. ACTIVITY 5. DRAW OR SKETCH Draw on this canvas interesting customs, traditions and culture or even landmarks distinctive of the country. Be able to explain or discuss your drawing in a 5-sentence paragraph. Provide your own title.

You may start your sentence by saying, “One of the most interesting customs and traditions in Thailand which attracted me is...______________.” Read orally your work in class

We are embarking on the next activity by learning more about the country whose contributions to fellow Afro-Asian neighbours made an impact on their economic growth as well as on bridging unity and progress. The selection enables you to deeply appreciate its customs and beliefs similar to ours. Find out if your focus questions, “How does diversity contribute to unity?” and “How do traditions and beliefs bring about diversity and or harmony?” can be answered. One way of getting information and knowledge is through listening. Let‘s find out what listening is all about. Listening is receiving language through the ears. It involves identifying the sounds of speech and processing them into words and sentences. When we listen, we use our ears to receive individual sounds (letters, stress, rhythm and pauses), and we use our brain to convert these into messages that we find meaning in. Listening in any language requires focus and attention. It is a skill that some people need to work on harder than others. People who have difficulty concentrating are typically poor listeners. Listening in a second language requires even greater focus. Listen to your teacher as s/he reads the article entitled Thailand at the Turn of the Century. Find out what facts or information are presented by the speaker and determine if the speaker is for or against an issue.

Before listening, take note of the following guidelines when listening: 1. Listen to get the general ideas of the text. 2. Take down notes to help you recall important ideas. Be guided by the following questions: 11

1. What is Thailand’s goal at the end of the century? 2. Enumerate the plans of action of Thai government and its people in achieving their goals. Listen carefully as your teacher reads the listening text. After a pause in every third paragraph , be able to answer the questions in the question cards. Be guided by the pauses in order to answer the questions. So, tune in, listen and give your responses.

THAILAND AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY (for TG) 1 Thailand, for one, as a pillar of the fast-growing Asian region, has made sure and steady strides over the years to ensure its place in the global community. 2 A country often compared with the Philippines for a score of reasons, Thailand, like the Philippines, is a nation of 60 million. It has an area of 513,115 sq. kms. and enjoys a climate typical of countries in the tropics; thus, its’ traditional proclivity for agrarian-based economic activity. 3 Notwithstanding, a shift from agriculture to manufacturing, Thailand continues to edge out its neighbors in terms of natural resources, what with the bounty of its land and sea which has made it the world’s foremost exporter of tapioca and rice. In addition, it is also a leader in production of maize, frozen shrimp, canned pineapple, natural rubber and sugar. 4 However, in the late 80’s and the 90’s, Thailand restructured its economy to adapt to the demands of an urbanizing international community. 5 As a result, the share of the agricultural sector in Thailand’s national income has declined from a high of 40 percent in 1960 to 17 percent during early 90’s. 6 Concomitantly, the manufacturing sector experienced strong growth, expanding rapidly in its share of the national income from 13 percent in 1960 to over 30 percent in the 90’s. With the implementation of the first industrial Promotion Act in 1960 and various promotional programs undertaken by the Board of Investment, the way was paved for the remarkable growth of the manufacturing sector. 7 Initially, industrial activity focused on food processing and import substitution. However, in the 90’s, Thailand has developed heavily into export promotion, notably textiles and garments, which accounted for 34.5 per cent of principal exports in 1994 against the 12.7 percent output of canned food in the same year. On the whole, the industrial sector’s creditable performance became a plus factor for Thailand because policy-makers knew exactly where there was a need to put on weight to achieve an ideal balance among the various diversified industries that the changing economy helped to bring about. 8 It is equally worth noting that at the highest point of Thailand’s growth at the close of the last decade, the highest income generator and largest foreign exchange contributor for Thailand was its tourism sector. With the full backing of the Royal Thai Government extended to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the sector grew by a hefty 16 percent per annum. 9 In addition to glowing figures posted by Thailand in the area of manufacturing, tourism and foreign investment, much of its success can also be attributed to the growing independence of countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and in the burgeoning Asian-Pacific region. 10 Thailand rides high in this era of growth and is well on its way to an age of prosperity at the turn of the century.

12

11 From 1988-1991, Thailand’s growth rate averaged 12.5 percent, the highest in the world. Since 1993 when its economy rebounded from a worldwide recession in the early 90’s, the Thai economy has experienced steady gains reminiscent of the growth patterns of developed countries in the West. Moving Ahead in English II ,pp 30-31,Myrna S.Torres.

Can unity be possible in diversity of culture, beliefs and traditions?

ACTIVITY 9. BITE THE THEME Write your reflections and insights in relation to the theme of the listening text. Provide your own title. _____________________________________________________ 13

______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Reading literature is like looking at a painting or a mural .It is seeing beyond one’s eyes .In paintings, we find meanings as interpreted by the artist. The artist has a way of interpreting his subject. This is the role of literature. It is to make the reader interpret and imagine what he is reading and to identify himself with it .By a skilful use of language, the writer places realism and uniqueness in his stories, poems or essays, as if making the reader feel as if he has experienced it in his life. Shall we now study the different elements of a short story?

ELEMENTS OF A SHORT STORY

1. SETTING The setting refers to place, time, weather condition, social condition, and even mood or atmosphere. To recognize the setting of the story, you may ask these questions:  

Where is the action taking place? Where is the story taking place? Is it during the day, night, what year, what period?



What is the weather condition? Is it sunny, rainy, and stormy?



What is the daily life of the character? What are his customs and status in life?



What is the feeling created at the beginning of the story? Is it bright, cheerful, dark or frightening?

Example : My sister and I had a fun–filled vacation last summer. We stayed at our grandparents’ house, which was near the beach. We swam in the sea every morning, climbed the trees in the afternoon and fed the animals before dark. When the moon was bright, we played patintero. Using the guide questions above, provide the answers: 1. Where is the action taking place? 2. Where is the story taking place? 3. What is the weather condition? 2. Plot – It is the sequence of events in a story or play. The plot is a planned, logical series of events having a beginning, middle and end. The short story usually has one plot, and it could be read in one sitting .There are five essential parts of a plot: a. Exposition/Introduction In the introduction, the setting and the characters are revealed. b. Rising Action 14

This is where the events in the story become complicated and the conflict in the story is revealed .This is where events between introduction and climax take place. c. Climax It is the turning point of the story and the highest point of interest. It is where the reader asks what will happen next. Will the conflict be resolved or not? d. Falling Action The problems and complications begin to be resolved. e. Denouement This is the final outcome or untangling of events in the story.

Here are three different parts of a story. On the blank after each paragraph, write whether the given part is the beginning, middle and end of the story. 1. Suddenly, the boat tilted to the left. “Steady!” cried our teacher, “stay where you are!” We kept calm .We prayed hard and followed all of our teacher’s instructions. Answer: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Finally, the fox grumbled. “I don’t want those grapes anyway. I know they must be sour.” Then, he went away. Answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Once there was a child who liked summer best. He lived on a farm and every summer, he enjoyed harvesting corn, vegetables and fruits. Answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3.Conflict - It is the opposition of forces which ties one incident to another and makes the plot move. There are two types of conflict: External – refers to outside forces that may cause conflict, like another human being, circumstances, environment, etc. Internal - refers a struggle within oneself. The character maybe debating inside himself about what to do. 4.Character – there are two meanings for the word character: the person in a work of fiction and the characteristics of a person. He may be the protagonist, the good-natured character, or the antagonist, the opponent of the main character. The author may reveal a character in several ways: his physical appearance, what he/she says, thinks, feels and dreams; what he/she does or does not do; and what others say about him/her. 5. Point of View – the angle from which the story is told 6. Theme – it is the controlling idea or value in a piece of fiction. The theme maybe the author‘s idea about a topic or view of human nature.

Draw out the Filipino values and traits of the character which enable him to become successful and better person. Find out the author’s purpose of writing this selection. Discover also Thai’s traditions and beliefs, as well as its diversity of culture which shaped you as a Filipino. Makato and the Cowrie Shell (A Thai Folktale ) Supanee Khanchanathiti Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Makato. He was an orphan, for his father and mother died when he was very young. He had no brothers, sisters, cousins or friends to take care of him, so he had to make a living for himself. He did every kind of work—carrying heavy things, clearing away the forest, or feeding pigs. He never idled. Although he was paid only small wages, he was satisfied. He knew that if he would not work, he would starve. Wherever he went, his employers praised him for being sensible, hardworking, good-tempered and cheerful. One fine evening after he had finished chopping up a big pile of wood, he sat down to rest and thought of all he would like to do in the future. He wanted to try his luck in far–off strange lands, for he longed for exciting adventures. “What are you thinking about so deeply, my boy?” asked his employer. “I would like to go on a journey for adventure,” said Makato, pointing to the northeast. “I heard that the land is fertile and the people are kind. I wish I could see the land for myself.” His eyes sparked with excitement. “The land you wish to go to is called Sukhothai,” said his employer. “They say Pra Ruang of Sukhothai is a very kind–hearted king. You might be lucky if you could go there.” Sometime later, Makato decided to try his fortune. He left his village and set out in the wide world .He walked along cheerfully, enjoying new insights and talking to the people he met on the way. After a month’s journey, he reached a village on the boundary of the Kingdom of Sukhothai. “Please, can I have some water to drink?” Makato asked an old woman with a big water pot on her head. “I’m so thirsty.” “Where did you come from? Why are you here alone? You look as if you’ve come a long way,” said the old woman, pouring cold water from her pot into a small cup and handling it to Makato. “Thank you so much,” said the boy. “Who are your father and mother? Haven’t you any family?” the old woman asked again. “I come from the City of Mon over there,” replied Makato. 19

“Good heavens! Have you really come from Môn? How is it that you are travelling alone, such a young boy as you are?” “I wanted to see Pra Ruang of Sukhothai,” replied Makato.”They say he is a very kind-hearted king.” “You are a very determined boy!” said the woman.”Come along with me .Who knows? You might see Pra Ruang someday.” Makato was glad to go with her. If he could work with this kind of woman, he would have a place to sleep, some food to eat and perhaps someday, he might be lucky enough to see the king. The old woman was one of the Pra Ruang Mahouts, which meant that she helped the mahout find the food for the elephant and clean out the elephants’ sheds. He worked hard and well, and the mahout and his wife grew fond of him. One day, the sky was clear and the weather so fine, it seemed to Makato that it must be a lucky day. As he worked in the elephants’ sheds, a tall young man in a splendid costume, followed by attendants, came in. It was Pra Ruang himself. Makato bowed low at once with his hands clasped together before him. His heart beat fast. “Where did the boy come from?” the king asked the mahout, who was attending him. “How old is he?” the king asked further. “12 years old, your Majesty,” replied the mahout. “A good-looking and hardworking boy,” said the king. “Take good care of him.” As the king walked away, Makato saw a little cowrie shell lying on the ground .He ran to pick up and held it to the king, but the king said with a smile, “You may keep it.” “How wonderful!” Makato thought, “the king has given me a cowrie shell.” At the time, the people of Sukhothai used cowrie shells as money. Although one cowrie had little value, Makato wanted to make as much use of it as possible, for it was the king’s gift. For a long time, he could not think of a way to use it so that it would earn money for him. One day, he passed by a stall in the market where the seeds of many different plants were sold. He looked along the stall and caught sight of a basket full of lettuce seed. Lettuces! He could grow small plants like that. He asked the joyful woman at the stall, “Can I buy some lettuce seed?” “Oh yes, my boy. How much do you want?” said the old woman. “I have one cowrie shell!” said Makato. “One cowrie shell!” said the woman, laughing.”That won’t buy anything. I can’t even measure that much.” “Look!” said Makato eagerly. “I will dip my finger into the pile of seeds. Then, I will take the seeds that stick to it. That must be right for one cowrie shell.” “Well, why not?” said the amused woman at his suggestions. “All right boy. Help yourself.” Makato paid the woman his one cowrie shell .Then, he dipped his finger into the pile of seeds. When he pulled his wet finger out, it was covered with seeds. He carefully scraped them of his finger into the palm of his hand and went away, happily clutching the seeds. 20

Now that he had seeds, Makato broke the soil and sowed them at once. He watered the seed bed every day and soon, the young plants appeared. Day by day, he cleared more ground and planted more lettuce seedlings until the kitchen garden was covered with them. He was very proud of himself because he had done so well. “I wish I could give the king some lettuces,” he thought. One day, the king passed by the elephants’ sheds again. Makato waited for an opportunity, then knelt down and proudly presented his biggest lettuces to the king. “Where did you get this?” the king asked, surprised. “I grew them from the cowrie shell you gave me, Your Majesty,” answered Makato, beaming with a smile. “How could you do that?” asked the puzzled king. Makato told the king the whole story. The king was impressed with his intelligence and industry, So much so that later on, he gave Makato a job in the palace. As the years passed, Makato grew tall and handsome. He mastered every grace and served the king well. He was so loyal that the king trusted him absolutely. He was promoted to higher positions until he was given a title of Kun Wang, which meant that he was the most important person in the king’s court. He was also happily married to the beautiful young daughter of the king. After that, the king made him the ruler of the Mon. So it was that Makato, who had once been a poor orphan, became the king of that prosperous kingdom. Comprehension Check: Answer the following guide questions. 1. Describe Makato.

Now, you are slowly going deeper into understanding human nature and the experiences of other people of different races. Have you realized something? Are human thoughts, feelings and emotions universal? Do they manifest in every race and culture? Let us see how you will work on the next activity.

Before we start working on the next activity , let us recall our lessons on idioms or idiomatic expressions to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of these in the next reading text you are about to read.

English idiom or idiomatic expressions are Greek in origin. The word idiom means “a private citizen, something belonging to a private citizen, personal,” and, by extension, something individual and peculiar. Idiomatic Expressions, then, conform to no laws or principles describing their formation. They may also violate grammar or logic or both and still be acceptable because the phrase is familiar, deep-rooted, widely used, and easily understandable- for the native born. “How do you do?” is, for example, an accepted idiom, although an exact answer would be absurd. There are many idiomatic expressions in our language. One is that several words are combined which lose their literal meaning and express something very remotely suggested such as ; birds of a feather, blacklist, lay up, toe the line, make out, bed of roses, dark horse, heavy hand, open house, read between the lines, no ax to grind, hard row to hoe. A second statement about idioms is that parts of the human body have suggested many of them: burn one’s fingers, all thumbs, fly in the face of, stand on one’s own feet, keep body and soul together, keep one’s eyes open, step on someone’s toes, rub elbows with, get one’s back up, keep one’s chin up. A third generalization is that hundreds of idiomatic phrases contain adverbs or prepositions with other parts of speech. Here are some examples: walk off, walk over, walk-up; run down, run in run off, run out; get nowhere, get through, get off. agree

to a proposal on a plan with a person 26

contend

for a principle with a person against an obstacle

Usage should conform to the idiomatic word combinations that are generally acceptable. Examples of Idiomatic expressions are : accord with ,according to , acquaint with ,adverse to , and aim to prove.

ACTIVITY 26. WORKING WITH IDIOMS

Choose the appropriate idiomatic expressions to be used in the following sentences. Write a piece of cake, odds and ends, pros and cons or ups and downs in the blanks provided. 1. The teacher asked us to talk about the ___________ of industrial development. 2. Don’t worry about the problems you have in your business .You know there are always ___________ in business. 3. The police found nothing special in the house of the criminal as he had taken all the important documents with him leaving just _____________. 4. If you think that doing this math problem is __________, just try it.

Choose the appropriate word to complete the meaning of the idiom. Write ocean, music, rags, cold and pie in the blanks provided. 1. All these promises the politicians make are just ____ in the sky. 2. The small amount of money donated is just a drop in the _____ compared to the large sum of money needed. 3. He has been successful in life. He went from ____ to riches. 4. They had a dispute yesterday. That‘s why she gave him a ___ shoulder. 5. I had to face the ____ all by myself, although I was not the only responsible for the problem.

The selection which you are about to read is considered the oldest literary piece believed to have been written 3000 years before Christ. Find out the similarities of Egyptians and Filipinos in terms of culture, beliefs, respect and love for family and reverence to God as depicted in this selection.

THE TWO BROTHERS Egyptian Folktale Once there were two brothers. Anpu was the elder, and Bata was the younger. When their parents died, Anpu was already married and had a house of his own, so he took his little brother with him and treated him like his son. When the little brother grew to be a young man, he became an excellent worker. He did the plowing. He harvested the corn, and there was no one his equal in the whole land. Behold, the spirit of the god was within him. Every morning, the younger brother followed his oxen and worked all day in the fields, and every evening, he returned to the house with vegetables, milk, and wood. He laid all these before his elder brother, and he took with him his bread, and he drove the cattle into the field. Because Anpu loved his younger brother very much, his wife became very jealous and she wanted to destroy Bata. One day, when Anpu and Bata were in the fields, they needed some corn, so Anpu sent Bata home to get some. The younger brother found the wife combing her hair and said to her, “Get up and give me some corn that I may run to the field for my elder brother is in a hurry. Do not delay.” At eventide, Anpu returned home earlier than his brother because Bata had much work to do in the fields. Anpu was met by his wife, who was crying bitterly. She showed him her arms and legs which he had painted black and blue and accused Bata of having beaten her up. She pretended to be in great pain. She did not give him water to wash his hands with. She did not light the fire for him. She pretended that she was very sick. Anpu became very angry. He sharpened his knife and waited for Bata in the stable. When the sun went down, Bata came home as usual, loaded with herbs, milk and wood. As he entered the door, he saw the feet of his brother and the sharp knife hanging by his side. The brother sprang from him and Bata fled praying to the god Ra. “My good Lord! Save me from death, thou who divines the evil from the good.” Ra heard his cry. He made a river flow between one brother and the other and filled it with crocodiles. Bata asked his elder brother, “Why do you seek to kill me? Am I not your brother and have you not always treated me as if you were my father? Has not your wife been as mother to me? Now since you want to kill me, I shall go to the Valley of the Acacia.” Anpu answered, “Why did you beat up my wife and almost kill her.” Bata answered, “I did not do such thing. Have I told you that I have always looked upon her as my mother?” So, Anpu went home. He found his wife near the river washing off the black and blue dye with which she had painted herself. Filled with great anger, Anpu killed his wife and cast her to the dogs. Then, he sat down, poured ashes on his head and mourned for his younger brother. 28

Bata reached the Valley of Acacia. Since there was no one with him, he slew wild beasts for food, built himself a house and met the Nine Gods who knew of his innocence and goodness. Ra said to the god Khunumu, “Behold, frame a woman for Bata that he may not remain alone.”So Khunumu made for Bata a wife to dwell with him. She was indeed more beautiful than any other woman in the whole land. She was like a goddess, and Bata loved her very much.

After Reading ACTIVITY 28. CHARACTERIZATION Describe the three characters through a Venn Diagram.

Bibliography contains a list of books or articles, or both, relating to a particular subject. In a research paper, a bibliography is an alphabetical list, sometimes grouped into categories, containing the names of all works quoted from or generally used in its preparation. Every formally prepared research paper should contain a bibliography placed at the end and begun on a separate page. Bibliographical items should be arranged correctly and consistently. Let’s take a look at the following examples below.

Books 30

What have you observed in the examples above? In writing the format of bibliographical entries, what are the things you are supposed to remember? Let’s try answering the questions below. ACTIVITY 32. FORMATTING 1. What is the format if the author is only one? Explain. ______________________________________________________ 2. For two authors , how would you write the bibliography? Explain. ______________________________________________________ 3. What words are used to mean several authors? Explain and give an example. ______________________________________________________ 4. In writing the topics for encyclopedia, magazine and newspaper articles, what should you observe? ______________________________________________________ 5. In writing the titles of the book, what should you remember? Explain. ______________________________________________________ 6. What should come first when writing the place and name of the publisher? ______________________________________________________ POINTS TO REMEMBER: 1. All names of authors should start with the family name, followed by the first name. 31

2. For two authors, the second author‘s name should be written with the first name first and not with the family name. 3. For several authors, use the words et .al. , to mean many or several authors. 4. All titles of the books, magazines, encyclopedia and newspaper articles should be underlined. 5. Titles of topics of magazines, newspaper articles and encyclopedia must be enclosed in quotation marks. 6. Observe correct punctuation marks, such as period, after the author’s name, title of the book, encyclopedia, magazines and newspaper articles . 7. Place a comma after the author’s family name to separate it from the first name and use it also to separate it from the name of the publisher.

Appendix An appendix refers to an “addendum” or any addition to a document, such as a book or legal contract. It is a collection of supplementary materials, usually appearing at the end of a report, proposal, or a book. It may come in the form of tables and charts, sample questionnaires, budgets and cost estimates, correspondence about the preparation of the report, case histories, transcripts of telephone conversations, among others.
