Philippine beaches a magnet for first wave of returning Chinese travelers


By TTG Asia
Posted on 13 May, 2020 14:51
The first wave of Chinese travellers to hit the Philippines’ shores once travel
restrictions are lifted are likely to head to beach destinations such as Boracay, Bohol and
Cebu, according to a recent study by C9 Hotelworks and Delivering Asia Communications.

Social distancing protocols enforced at these locations, which are likely to stick
around post-pandemic, have increased the appeal of these already popular destinations,
concluded the two companies.
Conducted in the first week of May among 1,150 respondents from five first-tier cities
in China, the study drew out the preferences of the 700 or so respondents (61 per cent) who
said they were looking to travel to the Philippines this year and beyond.

Of the shortlisted travellers, about 630 were planning to travel to the country in 2020.
When asked which destination in Philippines they would be most likely to visit, most
shortlisted respondents (46 per cent) indicated Boracay, followed by Manila (23 per cent),
Bohol (21 per cent) and Cebu (6 per cent).

What do these figures tell us? _______________________________________

Point 1: What Is Expository Text?

Expository writing is a mode of writing in which the purpose of the author is to inform,
explain, describe, or define his or her subject to the reader. Examples of
expository texts are textbooks, encyclopedias, scientific books/journals,
atlases, directions, guides, biographies, newspapers. (https://bit.ly/32Z97Jl)

There are five types of Expository Texts.


1. Sequence or Time Order
This type of expository text is often used to present events such as the
French and Indian War (in history class) or cell division (in biology class).
2. Listing (or description)
is used to explain the features of an object or event. Biology textbooks
list the features of reptiles, giving their body temperature, reproductive habits,
eating habits, etc.
3. Compare and Contrast
involves discussing similarities and differences. A Social Studies book
might compare the Government of the United States and the Government of
Great Britain.
4. Cause-Effect
A cause-effect pattern outlines reasons for events. The author
describes an event (such as the American Revolutionary War) and explains
what caused the event and the effects that followed from it.
5. Problem-Solution
A Problem-Solution pattern discusses a problem and then suggest.

Point 2: What is Linear Text?

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end.
This type of text has an order or sequence; it’s typically the author of the text who decides
the order of the text, or its reading path. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational
texts, all those texts we read from the beginning to the end, are linear texts.
(https://bit.ly/3jKJstP)

Point 3: What is Nonlinear Text?

Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it is nonlinear and
non-sequential. The readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential manner in
order to make sense of the text. This type of text has many reading paths since it’s the
readers who decide the sequence of reading, not the author of the text. Some examples
include flowcharts, charts, and graphs (ex: pie chart, bar graphs), graphical organizers such
as knowledge maps and story maps. (https://bit.ly/3jKJstP)

 Pie Chart/Graph: It is useful in showing the proportional distribution of items that


make up one whole amount. It looks like a pie that is divided into different parts.
 Bar Graph: A bar graph can be defined as a chart or a graphical representation of
data, quantities or numbers using bars or strips. (https://bit.ly/3jL290G)
 Bar graphs are used to compare and contrast numbers, frequencies or other
measures of distinct categories of data. (https://bit.ly/3jL290G)
