think the author is trying to do is trying to
- 00:44 - 00:45
persuade the reader?
- 00:46 - 00:51
It's using facts and opinions to convince the reader to
- 00:51 - 00:53
believe that Children are big helpers.
- 00:58 - 01:03
So persuasive text gets readers to understand and respect the
- 01:03 - 01:04
author's view of points.
- 01:06 - 01:10
Now, the author supports his or her viewpoint by using
- 01:11 - 01:11
facts and opinions.
- 01:12 - 01:15
Now, as you know, the fact is what can be
- 01:15 - 01:22
proved and an opinion is what the author believes as
- 01:22 - 01:22
the reader.
- 01:23 - 01:26

He could be wrong right now, before we get into
- 01:42 - 01:46
the text, let's look at some important vocabulary words that
- 01:46 - 01:48
are going to be in the story.
- 01:49 - 01:52
Now, the first word is volunteer or volunteers.
- 01:53 - 01:55
Do you know the meaning of this word?
- 01:57 - 02:00
Well, it's people who do jobs without getting paid.
- 02:01 - 02:05
So you're helping out without getting a salary or without
- 02:05 - 02:09
getting any sort of something in return.
- 02:10 - 02:11
You're just doing this for free.
- 02:11 - 02:14
You're doing this to help out others and you don't
- 02:15 - 02:16
want anything back from them.
- 02:17 - 02:19
The next vocabulary word is skill.
- 02:20 - 02:21
Can you think of the word skill?
- 02:22 - 02:22
What does it mean?
- 02:24 - 02:28
Well, something a person does well, something that you're really
- 02:29 - 02:29
good at.
- 02:29 - 02:31
So let's say for example, you're a really good type
- 02:32 - 02:35
er, then that's your skill, let's say you're a good
- 02:36 - 02:40
artist, then you have skills in becoming a good painter
- 02:40 - 02:40
or drawer.
- 02:41 - 02:46
So I believe everyone has a skill, something that you
- 02:46 - 02:47
do very well organizing.
- 02:49 - 02:56
The word organizing is planning, so things run smoothly to
- 02:56 - 02:59
sort out things to make sure that everything is proper,
- 03:01 - 03:05
it's organized, it's what its needs, it's clean.
- 03:06 - 03:09
Okay, um, let's say you're planning an event, you're going
- 03:09 - 03:11
to do it in steps, so nothing can go wrong
- 03:12 - 03:16
or if something does go wrong, there won't be so
- 03:16 - 03:16
many mistakes.
- 03:17 - 03:18
How about participate?
- 03:19 - 03:23
The word participate is to join, To take part, to
- 03:23 - 03:30
be with someone and to volunteer, right to take part
- 03:30 - 03:31
of to join.
- 03:32 - 03:34
So participation counts.
- 03:35 - 03:38
When you're in class and you're participating, you are giving
- 03:38 - 03:43
in information, you are giving your answers, so this is
- 03:43 - 03:44
all part of participation.
- 03:46 - 03:48
Shelter shelter is a home.
- 03:49 - 03:53
Now a shelter can be for a long time or
- 03:53 - 03:56
it could be for a short time, it depends on
- 03:57 - 03:58
this shelter that you're in.
- 04:03 - 04:05
Now looking at the text, you need to understand the
- 04:05 - 04:09
structure now for you to understand the information, you need
- 04:09 - 04:11
to know what the author is trying to persuade you,
- 04:12 - 04:15
The author is trying to make you believe in something.
- 04:15 - 04:19
So when you read this text there are more than
- 04:19 - 04:22
320 million people living in the United States.
- 04:23 - 04:27
How can some, I'm sorry, how can so many people
- 04:27 - 04:31
get along one way is by helping each other every
- 04:31 - 04:34
day, millions of americans help other americans.
- 04:35 - 04:40
Many of these helpers are students, kids can be big
- 04:40 - 04:44
helpers. So what is the author trying to tell you
- 04:45 - 04:47
Besides americans help each other out.
- 04:47 - 04:53
But the most important thing is can you guess kids
- 04:53 - 04:54
can be big helpers.
- 04:55 - 04:58
So you know that the author is not just focusing
- 04:58 - 05:01
about americans but it's focusing about the Children in the
- 05:01 - 05:05
US. That Children can be big helpers now.
- 05:05 - 05:08
Do you believe that Children only in the U.

- 05:12 - 05:12
world can help?
