MELC 20: React to what is asserted or expressed in a text

One of the best ways for the author to express his/her feelings, beliefs, and ideas in a direct way is by asserting. Assertion is used to let the readers feel that they should agree with what they read or hear. It is very common in various fields of life, like literature, politics, and advertisements.

Sample assertion: Drinking a glass of milk can make our bones and teeth healthy and strong.

As the readers’ response to what is asserted in a text, a reaction is being made. Reaction is an action taken in response to something. Reacting to the assertion is an essential skill in language learning. Making reactions will allow readers to express their thoughts and feelings about the text or situations presented. One can decide to agree or disagree with the given text.

Reaction: Yes, I drink a glass of milk every day and it makes my bones and teeth healthy and strong.


To give an appropriate reaction, you can use the DOWN strategy.
