3 HOST 1: Hey! It was just sunny earlier, but it appears like it is pouring heavy water

4 outside.

5 HOST 2: Well, we all know that we live in a country with a tropical climate so we

6 basically expect abrupt changes in our weather.

7 HOST 1: Ohhhh no! I forgot my shoes are still outside our house for sun-drying.

8 HOST 2: I am pretty sure that your shoes are wet again because of the heavy rain.

9 HOST 1: Geezzz, I have to wash them again!

10 HOST 2: (LAUGH) next time before you go out, make sure that you shoes are already

11 inside your house.

12 HOST 1: I am sure to remember that, always!

13 HOST 2: And that reminds me that our lesson for today will focus on

14 HOST 1: Don’t tell me we are going to discuss about the rain?

15 HOST 2: No, but with the rain pouring outside, and your shoes getting wet again,

16 we’ll discuss how to use complex sentences to show cause and effect

17 relationship.

2 HOST 1: Woooaaaaahhhh! That gave me chills! But before we proceed with our

3 lesson proper, I guess our learners should answer in their notebook the

4 activity in “What I Know” on page 6 and “What’s In” on page 7.

5 HOST 2: That’s right! We’ll take a pause for a while to give you time to answer the

6 activity. Write the answer only.

1 HOST 2: Let us all read a selection adapted from what Causes a Tsunami by

2 Jeremy Cook

3 HOST 1: While we are reading, you may write down facts and events that you

4 may use in answering the questions after.

5 HOST 2: Again, please make sure to take note all the important facts and events

6 in the selection ‘What Causes a Tsunami’

7 HOST 1: One of the most common causes of a tsunami is by an earthquake. The

8 entire planet is covered with pieces of rock that float on liquid magma.

9 These pieces are called tectonic plates. As they move, they can sometimes

10 rub together, causing the ground to shake. When two plates move

11 suddenly, the water on the surface of the Earth gets displaced and can

12 cause a wave. The wave begins to move, and a tsunami is born.

13 HOST 2: When a strong quake occurs under the sea, a tsunami alert is sometimes

14 declared, especially if it is near the shorelines. When this happens, people

15 are advised to evacuate to higher grounds. Disobeying orders to evacuate

16 may cause serious harm or injury to people.

17 MSC: UP AND UNDER

18 HOST 1: So that ends the story. We hope you were able to jot down important

19 events that will help us answer the questions related to the story.

20 HOST 2: And now let us all answer question number 1,

1 HOST 2: What causes a tsunami according to the paragraph?

2 HOST 1: Well, an earthquake causes a tsunami.

3 HOST 2: Did you get the same answer? (PAUSE) Well then, that’s great to

4 know!

5 HOST 1: What about the question what happens when tectonic plates move

6 and rub together?

7 HOST 2: The ground shakes!

8 HOST 1: Did you get the answer right? (Pause) Wow, very good then!

9 HOST 2: What is produced when water on the surface of the earth is displaced?

10 HOST 1: A wave is produced when water on the surface of the earth is

11 displaced.

12 HOST 2: That’s right! What about our learners, did you get the correct answer?

13 (PAUSE) Wow, you are doing great!

14 HOST 1: When is a tsunami alert declared?

15 HOST 2: When a strong quake occurs under the sea.

16 HOST 1: Children, did you get the same answer?(PAUSE) If yes, then you are

17 right!

18 HOST 2: And finally, what is the possible effect of disobeying orders to

19 evacuate?

20 HOST 1: Serious harm or injury

21 HOST 2: That’s right! So we really need to take the tsunami alert seriously.

1 HOST 1: Did you get the answer right? (PAUSE) Great job then!

2 HOST 2: So with this activity, we are having a clearer picture on how complex

3 sentences relate the cause and effect.

4 HOST 1: Let’s go back with the sentences we did after the commercial break.

5 The sentences talk about cause and effect.

6 HOST 2: You may also observe that in those sentences, there is always an event

7 that serves as a cause and another that becomes the effect.

8 HOST 1: Yes, something caused the effect!

9 HOST 2: Wait, what?

10 HOST 1: What I mean us that the cause or the reason will lead to the effect or

11 the result.

12 HOST 2: Ohhh, yes that’s correct.

13 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

14 HOST 1: Let us use the sentence ‘Because he played under the rain, his mother

15 became angry’ to analyze how cause and effect work.

16 HOST 1: In this sentence, we can divide it in two parts, the first one is ‘Because

17 he played under the rain’ and the second one is ‘his mother became

18 angry’. Both phrases are separated through a comma.

19 HOST 2: That is right! The phrase, ‘Because he played under the rain’ tells us

20 the reason. And the phrase ‘his mother became angry’ tells us the result

21 of him playing outside.

1 MSC: UP AND UNDER

2 HOST 1: Well, to help us understand more, let us use the second sentence

3 which is ‘When he fell from the tree, the boy broke his leg.’

4 HOST 2: Let us try to use the phrase ‘when he fell from the tree’ and analyze it.

5 The phrase cannot be considered as a sentence because it does not have

6 complete meaning and cannot stand on its own. It is called dependent

7 clause.

8 HOST 1: That’s correct! Again, dependent clauses do not have complete

9 meaning and they cannot stand on their own.

10 HOST 2: for the second phrase, ‘ the boy broke its leg’, we can observe that the

11 group of words have complete meaning, and that is called as

12 independent clause.

13 HOST 1: Why is it called independent clause?

14 HOST 2: It is called independent clause because even without the other phrase

15 or the dependent clause, it portrays complete meaning.

16 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

17 HOST 1: Let’s have 1 more example but this time you, our dear listeners, will

18 help us analyze the sentence.

19 HOST 2: the sentence is, ‘The town was put on lockdown since people keep on

20 going out without a mask.’

1 HOST 1: Remember that using the words because, as, in order that, since,

2 although, as a result, and so that, are subordinate conjunctions that are

3 always used to begin with a dependent clause or subordinate clause.

4 HOST 2: Again, those conjunctions help us to know where is the dependent

5 clause.

6 HOST 1: So can you help us find where is the subordinate clause in the

7 sentence? (PAUSE) Alright, can you please read aloud your answer?

8 HOST 2: Wow! That is right!

9 SFX: APPLAUSE

10 HOST 1: The dependent clause is, ‘since people keep on going out without

11 masks’.

12 HOST 2: so the other phrase‘ The town was put on lockdown’ is a dependent

13 clause because it has complete meaning.

14 MSC: UP AND UNDER

15 HOST 1: Wow! Great job children! Since you already get the idea, let us make it

16 more clear by saying that a complex sentence is composed of an

17 independent clause and a dependent clause.

18 HOST 2: And that complex sentences can be used to show cause and effect

19 relationship.

20 HOST 1: The reason why something happens is called as the cause

21 HOST 2: And the effect is the result of something that happened

3 HOST 1: Today we learned that a complex sentence is consists of one

4 independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

5 HOST 2: We also learned that cause and effect relationship can be shown using

6 a complex sentence

7 HOST 1: The reason why something happens is called as the cause

8 HOST 2: And the effect is the result of something that happened

9 MSC: UP FOR 10 SECONDS THEN UNDER

10 HOST 1: I think our learners are now ready to show what they have learned

11 about the cause and effect.

12 HOST 2: As this point, we would like to request our dear listeners to please get

13 your notebook , write down the following sentences and fill in the blanks

14 with the correct answer.

15 HOST 1: Number 1, A ____________ consists of one independent clause and at least

16 one dependent clause. (PAUSE)

17 HOST 2: Number 2, Clauses are joined by _____________ to show clear and precise

18 relationship. (PAUSE)

20 sentences. (PAUSE)

7 HOST 2: Copy the following sentences in your notebook. Underline the cause

8 once and the effect twice.

9 HOST 1: If pollution is reduced, global health will improve.

10 HOST 2: Because energy use is high in the developed world, people use a lot of

11 resources.

12 HOST 1: Although people try to save energy, global demand for energy

13 increases every year.

14 HOST 2: Future generations will suffer if pollution is not reduced today.

15 HOST 1: Bikeshares are becoming popular because they are a great way to

16 reduce pollution.
