PROBLEM
1
What’s In
Writing is done for a number of different purposes and for different audiences.
These different forms of writing are often known as text types. These are written for
a variety of purposes, using different forms and standards of composition. Features
depend on the purpose of the text. Some of it commonly use signal words for better
understanding of the text. Text-type purpose includes enumeration, classification,
time- order and explanation.
What’s New
Are you familiar with Corona virus or known as COVID-19? Let’s read a selection
about it.

and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
Indeed, Corona virus is a socio economic crisis too that leaves a deep scar in
the economy of the country it touches. The fight for this pandemic is not yet over
because there is no invented vaccine yet.
(2)According to an article written by Center by disease control and prevention
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. There are four
main sub-groupings of coronaviruses, known as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta.
Human coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s. The three well
known coronaviruses are MERS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS). Second is SARS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that
causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS) and the third one SARS-CoV-2
(the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19) which
we are currently facing today.
(3)MERS-CoV is is a viral respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus
(Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, or MERS‐CoV) that was first
identified in Saudi Arabia. The clinical spectrum of MERS-CoV infection ranges from
no symptoms (asymptomatic) or mild respiratory symptoms to severe acute
respiratory disease and death. A typical presentation of MERS-CoV disease is fever,
cough and shortness of breath. Pneumonia is a common finding, but not always
present. Gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhoea, have also been reported.
Severe illness can cause respiratory failure that requires mechanical ventilation and
support in an intensive care unit.
On the other hand SARS-CoV is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus called SARS-associated
coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia. The illness spread to more
than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before
the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained.
Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of SARS reported anywhere
in the world.
Lastly, the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or
COVID-19 is a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is
the name given to the 2019 novel coronavirus. COVID-19 is the name given to the
disease associated with the virus. SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of coronavirus that
has not been previously identified in humans.
(4)After this let’s take a look with the diagram below that shows the time when
did each viruses occur and live thousands of death as it touches the whole
world.
The illness spread to more than two Middle East respiratory syndrome
dozen countries in North America, (MERS) is a viral respiratory
South America, Europe, and Asia disease caused by a novel
before the SARS global outbreak of coronavirus (Middle East
2003 was contained. respiratory syndrome coronavirus,
or MERS‐CoV) that was first
identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012.
The novel coronavirus detected in
China in 2019 is closely related
genetically to the SARS-CoV-1 virus.

These viruses especially COVID-19 pandemic is a serious problem that every one of
us must be involve. But everything will end up well if everyone will cooperate and
follow. Prayer and self-discipline are the best protection to shield us with this deadly
virus we are facing today.
Questions:
What is It
Did you find our activity a little harder? Now let’s have some discussion about it. In

they need.
In this paragraph the different options of people in losing their
weight. It is identified as:

Focuses on listing facts, characteristics or features.
Signal words include to begin with, secondly, then, most
important, in fact, for example, several, numerous, first, next
finally, also, for instance and in addition.
By using enumeration, writers lay emphasis on certain ideas to
elaborate them further. In fact, enumeration easily creates an
impression on the minds of the readers. The details and listing
make it easy for them to convey the real message they want to
impart. However, if there is no use of enumeration in a text, it
Enumeration might become difficult for the reader to get the true meanings of
ideas.

Example 1: Battle against coronavirus Paragraph #2
In this paragraph the different viruses are listed/enumerated were
in a brief description is given. It also uses signal words.
Example 2: MOON
The moon is our closest neighbor. It’s gravity id only 1/6 of Earth.
In addition, there is no atmosphere on the moon. The lack of
atmosphere also means there is no water on the moon, an
important problem when travelling there.
In this paragraph moon is the main topic. The features of the
moon are listed in it.
Present ideas according to the time which they occurred. The

and feeling tired. These symptoms typically begin two days after exposure to the virus
and most last less than a week. The cough, however, may last for more than two
weeks. In children, there may be diarrhoea and vomiting, but these are not common
in adults. Diarrhoea and vomiting occur more commonly in gastroenteritis, which is
an unrelated disease and sometimes inaccurately referred to as "stomach flu" or the
"24-hour flu". Complications of influenza may include viral pneumonia,
secondary bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, and worsening of previous health
problems such as asthma or heart failure.
Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be
hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may
be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many
characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two.

Third, WHO convenes international expert networks, covering topics such
as clinical management, laboratory and virology, infection prevention and control,
mathematical modelling, servo epidemiology, and research and development for
diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines, which have held frequent
teleconferences, starting in early January. These networks include thousands of
scientists, medical and public health professionals from around the world.
Next, The Open WHO platform has had more than 3.7 million enrolments,
over 80% of which are in COVID-19 courses. Free training is available on 13 different
topics translated into 31 languages to support the coronavirus response, for a total
of 100 COVID-19 courses.

Assessment
Identify what kind of text type is the following paragraph. Encircle the letter of the
correct answer.
1. Researchers have used cryogenic electron microscopy to show that
coronaviruses enter human cells through an interaction with angiotensin-
converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
Scientists exploring how coronaviruses like COVID-19 infect human cells
have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein binds to the cell
membrane protein angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter human cells.
COVID-19 has been shown to bind to ACE2 via the S protein on its surface. During
infection, the S protein is cleaved into subunits, S1 and S2. S1 contains the
receptor binding domain (RBD) which allows coronaviruses to directly bind to the
peptidase domain (PD) of ACE2. S2 then likely plays a role in membrane fusion.
What is the purpose of the text?
a. explain how Covid-19 enters human cell.
b. classify the different corona virus.
c. entertain the readers about the effect of covid-19.
2. As the Covid-19 pandemic takes turn to the lives of people around the

quarantine is divided into three categories. First, Enhance Community
Quarantine (ECQ). Next is the Moderate Enhanced Community Quarantine
(MECQ). Other one is Moderate General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) and
lastly is the General Community Quarantine. Each level has its own restrictions
to be obeyed by the netizens.
Low-risk MGCQ
