Tarlac City, A cradle of our country’s leaders and a dictionary for all

My hometown is Tarlac City and I am proud to say it to the whole world because of its beautiful and natural sceneries and its historical places. The aim of this writing activity is to write a descriptive essay about our hometown.

First I want to tell you that Tarlac City is like a history book. There are many histories written in it and like other history books, some of its articles are not true and those articles are called unhistorical data. But I will only tell you the true history of Tarlac City. Tarlac City is like a nursery room inside the hospital. It nurtures the babies and later on, they grow and take care of themselves. Tarlac City also became a school for people that as the time goes and flies away, these students will lead their own City, and later on, they will lead the whole country. To summarize this, Tarlac City became the cradle of our former leaders and present. Who are these leaders I am talking about? Of course one of these is the Aquino family. Our hero, Benigno Ninoy Aquino rooted from his father Gen Servillano Aquino. Our present President Noy-noy Aquino Jr. and his famous sister Kris Aquino. Not to forget our former leader President Corazon Aquino, who’s root were the famous Cojuanco clan like former congressman Jose Peping Cojuanco, one of the Tarlaquenos that lead our country. To add more, our present Chief Director General (4^th highest position) of the Philippine National Police is also an heir of our hometown.                                                 

Tarlac cannot just be compared to a nursery room but also to a dictionary, where you can learn so much of its content. Because Tarlac has many different sceneries and famous historical places to be compared to any other places, lots of different delicacies, the authentic dishes served from each town, beautiful faces, and generous people who in one way or another give their very best in whatever life will take them.

Listening Challenges

Every one of us, have our own weaknesses when it comes to listening and hearing what the speaker’s telling us. But we, people don’t only have weaknesses, we also have strengths in hearing and listening people’s messages. But what is the difference between listening and hearing? Well, the only difference is that when you hear something, you don’t want to understand what the speaker’s telling you or simply you are not interested on what you are talking about. Well, of course listening have a big difference in hearing, because when you listen to somebody, it simply means that you are interested in what you both are talking about. Well, maybe you are wondering why am I talking this things to you, it’s because it’s our assignment in our EnglOne class and we are about to write what are our weaknesses and strengths when it comes to listening.

Honestly, I am not good in Evaluating and responding to the speaker, because I feel shy when I am about to tell him/her what I really want to say about the topic specially if my comment is not good. So that means that I can easily understand what the speaker is talking about but I cannot show him/her that I understand him/her because I cannot comment on what he/she was talking about because I feel shy. But sometimes when the environment is noisy like when my co students are noisy, I’m easily distracted,  and it affects my concentration to understand and remember what the lesson is all about. So that means that I have problems in all of the stages of listening process because I can be easily distracted by a noisy environment.

Listening is not just listening or hearing to the speaker, because you should also understand, respond, remember and evaluate what the topic is, to show that you really listen to the speaker. So I should solve my problems in listening to be a good communicator. I should improve my confidence so that I can respond to the speaker and I won’t feel shy anymore. I should also focus more on the speaker especially if the environment is noisy and destructive.
