F.3. Abstraction:

Grammatical signals or expressions are writing devices that serve to maintain text
coherence or unity of ideas. They signal relationship between sentences. They can be
words or phrases that connect ideas of sentences and paragraphs for coherence. They
also indicate building up new idea or thought or compare ideas or draw conclusions.
Grammatical signals or expressions are used in idea development for each pattern,
namely: 1. general to particular 2. claim and counterclaim 3. Cause and effect

In this Lesson , we are going to focus only in developing ideas following the
general-to specific pattern

What is general–to–Specific pattern?

Question: When we say general to specific pattern what do you think is the flow or the
organizaton of idea in a sentence or paragraph?

When we say general to specific, It is a method of writing a composition that


discusses the broad topic using specific details that support the topic. It is a pattern of
developing ideas that begins with a general idea or statement. This is followed by
specific details to support and explain the general idea. We use grammatical signals or
expressions to connect the general idea or statement and the specific details

Study the following sentences:

A. I can play quite a few musical instruments.

B. I can play quite a few musical instruments, such as the flute, the guitar, and the
piano.

Question: 1. What have you noticed in the two sentences?

2. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd sentence?

“Notice that both sentences have the same idea. However, we can say that the
second sentence is more specific than the first sentence. This is because the
second sentence contains supporting details and uses the grammatical signal such
as to connect the general idea “I can play quite a few musical instruments” with the
supporting details “the flute, the guitar, and the piano.”

Grammatical Signals and expressions has two forms in indicating general to specific
patterns

details in the sentence/ paragraph.

first, second, third And Like

rub lightly. Next, pour out the starchy water. You can repeat it one to
two times, depending on how starchy the rice is. After pouring out the
water for the last time, add clean water to the pot. You can add 1 1/2
to 2 cups of water for one cup of rice. Then, cover the pot and bring it
to a boil. Lower down the heat after it boils. Lastly, let the rice simmer
for 15 minutes.

Paragraph 2

Students nowadays are fond of playing online games, such as


Mobile Legends, PUBG, DOTA and the like. These affect their study
habits; in other words, they give more focus in playing these games
rather than reading their lessons. Parents need to limit their
children’s screen time, for example, students should only be given
three hours a day to use their gadgets. This is one of the many
strategies we can adopt to control students’ addiction in these
mobile games
