If you put a check, underline the part of the statement that supports the opinion. Example: Students graduating from Senior High School are not ready for college or for work. Data from JobStreet.com reveal that as much as 35% were flatly unwilling to hire SHS graduates, while 41% were unsure of it. ✓ 1. Many Filipino students cannot write well, especially in English. They often have errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 2. An article by the think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) on Monday, April 20, said SHS difficulty in writing in English was particularly evident in research projects. 3. Most students have big problems in using different punctuation marks. The learning and teaching report showed that incorrect punctuation caused the most problems for students in conveying meaning in their essay writing (Department of Student Services, 2013, p. 23). 4. To convey meaning, students must punctuate their work correctly. This is very important in writing. Students should always remember this. 5. I believe that the current curriculum in English is not working well for the Filipino learners. Instead of helping them improve their English skills, they are becoming worse. need help po:(​
