UNIT 3 | Awareness of Crisis, Accidents and Natural Calamities
"Natural disasters can encourage social cohesion and better relationships. When disasters strike, humans have a tendency to get together and show their traits and put them to work. It is during these times that we may work together and realize that all people are the same and have the same basic needs. Friendships may be formed and new things may come to life. The key to reducing loss of life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education. People must be made aware of what natural hazards they are likely to face in their own communities."

About Lesson

A CLOZE PASSAGE is a contextual analysis strategy that helps students learn to predict and verify word meaning of unfamiliar words or familiar words that have new/unusual meanings by searching for clues in nearby words, sentences, and paragraphs of a text. It is used before reading a text.

  • The concept of cloze passages was developed by William W. Cloze who came up with a technique to test language proficiency and learning skills of reading in students. He also taught them to figure out which words are missing from the text.
  • The cloze passage consists of a short text with missing words or blanks. These blanks will be replaced by the correct words. Then, test takers have to figure out which words were missed from the original passage and write their guesses in the correct answers space. 

Do you want to speak and write good English? Doing this activity every day can help
