ENGLISH

Universal Language: English

English is our universal language. It is the uniting language. Many told that without English language no unity for all nations. So in the Philippines, English is on one of the main subjects in schools. In some required the use of English language inside their campuses.

          The Americans were the first to introduce to us about English. They became teachers of our ancestors they taught to them about the alphabet and some words. I can say that our ancestors are much better in speaking English compared to us in this century.  Now the youths were problematic about speaking English. They were ashamed because they cannot straighten their speaking skill in English.

Modern English, sometimes described as the first global lingua franca, is the dominant language or in some instances even the required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, seafaring, aviation, entertainment, radio, and diplomacy. Its spread beyond the British Isles began with the growth of the British Empire, and by the late 19th century its reach was global. Following British colonisation from the 16th to 19th centuries, it became the dominant language in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The growing economic and cultural influence of the US and its status as a global superpower since World War II have significantly accelerated the spread of the language across the planet.^[21]English replaced German as the dominant language of science-related Nobel Prize laureates during the second half of the 20th century. English equalled and may have surpassed French as the dominant language of diplomacy during the second half of the 19th century.

A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields, occupations and professions such as medicine and computing; as a consequence, more than a billion people speak English to at least a basic level (see English as a second or foreign language). It is one of six official languages of the United Nations.

One impact of the growth of English is the reduction of native linguistic diversity in many parts of the world. The influence of English continues to play an important role in language attrition.Conversely, the natural internal variety of English along with creoles and pidgins have the potential to produce new distinct languages from English over time.

science month celebration

                                                                  Science month celebration 2013

"The reproaches against science for not having yet solved the problems of the universe are exaggerated in an unjust and malicious manner; it has truly not had time enough yet for these great achievements. Science is very young - a human activity which developed late." - Sigmund Freud
               Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist.
Since classical antiquity, science as a type of knowledge has been closely linked to philosophy. In the early modern period the words "science" and "philosophy of nature" were sometimes used interchangeably. By the 17th century, natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was considered a separate branch of philosophy.
In modern usage, "science" most often refers to a way of pursuing knowledge, not only the knowledge itself. It is also often restricted to those branches of study that seek to explain the phenomena of the material universe. In the 17th and 18th centuries scientists increasingly sought to formulate knowledge in terms of laws of nature such as Newton's laws of motion. And over the course of the 19th century, the word "science" became increasingly associated with the scientific method itself, as a disciplined way to study the natural world, including physics, chemistry, geology and biology. It is in the 19th century also that the term scientist was created by the naturalist-theologian William Whewell to distinguish those who sought knowledge on nature from those who sought other types of knowledge.
However, "science" has also continued to be used in a broad sense denoting reliable, teachable knowledge about a topic, as in modern terms like library science or computer science. This is also reflected in the names of some areas of academic study such as "social science" or "political science".
               In celebration to the Science month celebration, ISNHS joins in the celebration of this event. Many activities were done like the Ginoo at Binibining Kalikasan and other more. 
                Let's be thankful to our scientists for their continuos research for us to increase our knowledge. 

my teacher my hero

                                                         

                                                                          Teachers

                                                               My Teacher, My Hero

    Children have the right to be educated so parents sent their children in school. Pre-school is the first stage where the children have to experience. Teachers were their mother inside the school or center. Whenever the parent leaves her/his children in the school to go work, teachers were the one who will watch out the children. They will the one to take care the child. If he wants to go to the comfort room, the teacher will accompany him. That’s how hard to become a teacher. They sacrifice their life for the children even though they are not real children of her own.
    In the fourteen year or even fifteen years of your studying teachers were your accompany to reach all your goals and dreams. They were the one who helped to you to be successful. They were the source of your lessons you are learning in everyday lives. They become our second parents. All the things that were not taught to us in our homes schools fulfilled all of this through our teachers. They made sacrifices to teach us. Sometimes their time for their family is sacrificed to us because they want us to have lessons to learn. They gave us new lessons everyday because they want us to be a good people someday, to become one who will raise our country from poverty. All of our teachers have only one purpose and that is to prepare us in our future.
    Thanks to our teachers for they become our second parents. They were our heroes who saved us from being nothing or no knowledge. They are preparing us for our future. Thank you to all of our teachers. We salute you all. And may God give you more wisdom, strength, and guidance. God bless you and your family.

Manuel Quezon: Ama ng Wikang Filipino

                Filipinos were very thankful to a man. A man who made them united.  He made one language to unite these Filipinos. Before he did it, Filipinos were using different languages in their speeches. In every they have their own languages. Ilocanos used Iloco dialect, and so with others. The languages they were using were not united. They cannot understand each other. So when this man made the uniting language, Filipinos can now enjoy communicating with each other.

                Wikang Filipino was the term used by that man to name that language he made. He promoted it to other tribes to use. He made the country to be united. And before I end this, I would like to introduce the man who made the uniting language of Philippines. This man is no other than Pres. Manuel Quezon. They considered him,”Ama ng Wikang Filipino.”

                Bilang pasasalamat sa kanyang nagawa, ginugunita ng mga Pilipino ang kanyang kapanganakan tuwing ika- 19 ng Agosto. Sa iyo Quezon, kami’y lubos na sumasaludo at nagpapasalamat sa iyong kabayanihan. Ikaw nga ang tunay na Ama ng  Wikang Filipino.

                

REFLECTION

Meditation of Mine

                Who knows that in my last year in high school, I still part of Special Science Class. Thanks God of it. For this year still I will have my computer lesson which I consider the most enjoyable and exciting subject. I’m happy that I have Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz as my ICT teacher. I heard my older friends that she is a good teacher. I’m excited to meet her.

                In my first day of my ICT class I met my teacher and I made proud that she is my teacher. Our lesson is about the web and we have to post our blogs. I made my lessons very interesting because all our computers were connected with the internet. We sign in to the Google Chrome and this made me great to have chat with my friends and classmates. I’ve learned about the history of internet and about blogs, it’s types.

                I enjoyed my ICT class for this first grading period but I ended it not so good. I promise to myself that I will improve my attitudes not only in this subject but all my subjects.

                

SONA

SONA: State of the Nation Address

                For the fourth State of the Nation Address of our Excellency President Benigno Simeon Aquino III were great Filipinos are waiting. The president started it at exactly 4:00 in the afternoon of July 22, 2013.

                Filipinos were waiting what will be our president is reporting and how it will be done. He will be reporting what he did for his past three years. They were very happy of his report but others were dismayed. They said that he reported not the truth. The president tackled many things in his speech. He talked about poverty, which is one of the main problems of the country. He gave a resolution of this problem which is the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or the 4 P’s. He also congratulated his personnel or officers who made great things during his administration. But unexpected event were done. Rep. Imelda Marcos slipped down in hurry to attend the speech of the president. And all in all for me, this day made me proud that I am a Filipino.

                And for his succeeding three years, I wish that his entire plan will be implemented to help the Filipinos and solve the problems of the Philippines. I know he can do it with the help and support of his countrymen including us students who are the hope of the country.

"Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama nating Wakasan"

      Every month of July, the government especially the Department of Education introduces the one month celebration of nutrition. for this years, theme "Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan. For this theme focuses for the main problems of our country, malnutrition and starvation. the government aims to introduce these two problems to increase the knowledge to the people about thenproblems and to solve it with the help of the people.

    Malnutrition is caused by inadequate nutrition that affects people's heath. We all know that our health and wellness are important for the progress of our country. And starvation which is lack of food to be eaten which leads to malnutrition. All these two problems are not difficult to solve if only the people have the knowledge to prevent it. We can combat the problems of malnutrition  and starvation by joining forces. Looking around, we can see vacant lot especially in our yards where we can plant vegetables such as malunggay. If we can do these for our daily needs, then malnutrition and starvation will be stop. let's make a habit of eating adequate and nutritious food for our health.

     As a student, I know I can also help to save our country away rom the malnutrition and starvation. For the different activities in our school were conducting, I can join them to promote to my fellow students how important nutrition to us. Let's fight and help each other to stop malnutrition and starvation.
