Ready, Set, Ing-GO!/Transcript

(Inggo is seen pretending to score a shot)

(Karen clears throat)

Inggo: I wonder what sport should I take up.

Karen: Ooh, that is a good idea. It will always keep you fit and healthy.

Inggo: Joy asked me to sign her autographed book yesterday. I did not know what kind of sport I am into.

Karen: What did you write, then?

Inggo: 'Secret'.

Karen: Inggo, you wrote that?!

Inggo: I know, that is why I want to find out what kind of sport I am good at.

Karen: Good point. Hmm.

(Inggo pretends to box)

Atoy: What about Role?

Dondon: Huh, I'm faster than him!

Atoy: E, and Barcelo?

Dondon: With his eyeglasses? No way!

Atoy: What about...Inggo?

Inggo: Yes, what about me?

Dondon: I can beat you!

Inggo: Hey, I can beat you! Hmph. If I want to, I can do it.

Dondon: Well, the, prove it! I'll see you in the tryouts.

Inggo: You got it! What tryouts?

Atoy: It is called Sepak Takraw.

(the words 'Sepak Takraw' appear in yellow)

Atoy: Dondon and I saw the posters a while ago. Oh, here! You can have this flyer. See you!

Karen: Mmm.

Inggo: Thank you!

Karen: What is it?

Inggo: Read it, read it!

Karen: Okay, I will read the first paragraph. Aah!

Inggo: Aah!

Karen: Aah, okay.

Inggo: Aah, okay. What?

Karen: Ah, 'the Philippine Sepak Takraw Association is in search for new players.' There.

Inggo: Ang haba na binasa mo, 'yun lang?

Karen: I just took the key sentence.

(the words 'Key Sentence' appear in yellow)

Inggo: Key sentence?

Inggo: Is there a lock?

Karen: No, Inggo, key sentence. The sentence that gives the main idea of a paragraph is called a key sentence.

(the words 'Key Sentence = sentence that gives the Main Idea of a paragraph' appear below, with 'Key Sentence' in yellow)

Karen: You may find it within the paragraph. Now, read. Read the first paragraph.

Inggo: (zooms in paper) 'The Philippine Sepak Takraw Association is looking for new players. Coach Miguel Hordan and the Philippine Team have been going around the Philippines giving try-outs. Anybody between 12 and 18 years of age can join the try-outs this Friday'.

(the other paragraph reads 'Coach Miguel Hordan has been coaching the Philippine Team for three years. Within his years of coaching, he dreams of bringing the sport to the whole of the Philippines. This region is his first attempt.')

Karen: Wow! (clears throat) In this paragraph, the main idea is found at the beginning (highlights main idea) of the paragraph. It is called the key sentence.

(the words 'Key Sentence' appear in yellow)

Inggo: Ahh.

Karen: Okay, now read the second paragraph, and tell me what is the key sentence.

Inggo: One. Two. Mhmm. Mhmm.

Karen: ...And?

Inggo: Coach Miguel Hordan has been coaching the Philippine Team for three years.

Karen: Hmm, Are you sure that that is the key sentence, Inggo?

Inggo: Of course! I just took the first sentence!

Karen: Aah! Inggo, the key sentence is not always found at the beginning of the paragraph. It may also be found in the middle, or even at the end of the paragraph.

(the sentence 'The key sentence may be found at the BEGINNING, in the MIDDLE or at the END of the paragraph.' appears below, with 'key sentence' in yellow)

Karen: Why don't you read it again? Let's read it again.

Inggo: Oh, so, in this case, the key sentence is in the middle of the paragraph. (highlights key sentence)

Karen: You got it, Inggo. Very good.

Inggo: There will be a registration day tomorrow. Oh, I will go!

Karen: Wow, that's good!

Inggo: Inggo, the flash! Pshew! Inggo, most valuable player!

Karen: Inggo, I think it is wiser to find out how the game is played first.

(the transition this time has two Sepak Takraw balls bouncing in the screen)

Ball1: Good day to you, kids! My friend and I are playing Sepak Takraw!

Ball2: The players are divided into two teams. Each team is composed of three players.

Ball1: One team begins the game by kicking the ball over the net.

Ball2: The players on the other team try to kick or head the ball back over the net. They must do this before the ball touches the ground.

Ball1: Once the ball touches the ground, the last team to kick the ball gets one point.

Ball2: The first team to score fifteen points wins the game. This is how Sepak Takraw is played.

Boy: Excuse me, are you done talking? Can we start the game now?

Ball1: Not unless you understood the main idea of what we are saying.

Boy: I know, I just have to know the key sentence of the paragraph.

Ball1&Ball2: Which is?

Boy: You two are talking about how Sepak Takraw is played, so...the key sentence this time is found at the end of the paragraph.

Ball1: You have been listening well!

Ball2: Not bad! You are good, kid.

Boy: Thanks, but you should see me play Sepak Takraw. I am a much better athlete!

Ball2: Really? Let us see your moves!

Boy: Sure! (kicks Ball2)

Ball2: Ouch!

(transition)

(we see Inggo in the try-outs room)

Inggo: I did not expect there would be so many people trying out for Sepak Takraw!

Karen: Do not be nervous, Inggo.

Inggo: Nervous?! Who is nervous? Not me!

Karen: Okay, but you have been stretching since we got here. I think your arms are already two inches longer. Relax, Inggo.

Inggo: I am relaxed.

Dondon: Hey, Inggo, stop stretching. I think you got taller by an inch already.

Coach: 25! 24! Ready na!

Atoy: Hey, Inggo, break a leg!

(Inggo chuckles)

Karen: You too!

Inggo: Can you believe what Atoy said? Gusto pan yan ako mabalian na buto.

Karen: No, Inggo. Atoy meant well. 'Break a leg' is an Idiomatic expression. Remember? It means good luck. Look, let us just read this flyer right here.

Inggo: Okay. 'Sepak Takraw is a unique ball game. The ball used by the players is made of light materials like rattan or plastic. The players do not touch the ball with their hands. They toss the ball over the net by using their head or kicking it using their legs or their feet. Once the player touches the ball with hands, the opponent gets a point.'

Karen: Okay, good. Now, can you tell me where the key sentence is in this paragraph?

Inggo: Hmm, I know, it is the key sentence.

Karen: Mmm, very good, Inggo. Now, how are you able to tell that it is the key sentence?

Inggo: Aside from being the main idea of the paragraph,

(the words 'Main Idea' appear in yellow)

Inggo: all the sentences in the paragraph are related to the key sentence.

(the sentence appears, with 'Key Sentence' in yellow)

Karen: Very good. I am impressed, Inggo. All the other sentences are details of the key sentence,

(the word 'Details' appears in yellow)

Karen: or they could be additional information about the key sentence.

Coach: Number 28! Number 28!

Inggo: That's my number! That's me! That's me!

Karen: Yeah! Wait, wait, wait, let me go, Inggo! I'm not playing! I'm not-I'm not playing! I'm cheering!

(we see various clips of Karen cheering and Inggo playing)

(transition)

Narrator: Find out where the key sentence is. 'In every game, there will always be someone who wins and someone who loses. You may win today. But you may win tomorrow.' If you answered 'In every game, there will always be someone who wins and someone who loses', (bell ding) that is right. The first sentence is the key sentence of the paragraph.

Narrator: 'Losing a game is not the end of the world. Every loss should be seen as a room for improvement. Being able to accept your defeat is a good thing.' Where is the key sentence in this paragraph? If you answered 'Every loss should be seen as a room for improvement', (bell ding) right again! The second sentence is the key sentence of this paragraph.

Narrator: 'It can result to physically hurting other people. Having self-control is important. Where is the key sentence in this paragraph?' If you answered 'Being short-tempered can only gain you enemies', (bell ding) right again. The first sentence is the key sentence of this paragraph. You are doing very good at this! Well, I have to go now. Always remember sportsmanship should be at the heart of every game. And that is the key of a good game.

(transition)

Karen: How are you, Inggo?

Inggo: I am tired. So tired.

Karen: I understand. Congratulations, Atoy.

Atoy: Thanks, Karen. Oh, that was a good game, Inggo! Dondon?

Dondon: Of course for you it is! You got chosen!

Karen: You know, a game can still be good even if you did not win. Or in your case, if you were not chosen.

Inggo: How? All my sweat and bruises were wasted! That is not good.

Karen: Well, that is what sportsmanship is all about! It has nothing to do with winning or losing. It's about giving your best regardless of the result. You, you showed your best out there, and that is what makes it a good game.

Atoy: So, it was a good game!

Inggo: Mhmm. I really wanted to shake your hand. You were so good out there. You deserve to be in the team.

Atoy: Thanks, Inggo. That means so much to me.

Dondon: I felt bad that I was boastful the other day.

Karen: That's better.

(shakes hands with Atoy) Congratulations, Atoy.

Atoy: Thanks, Dondon.

Dondon: Still have next year. I'll be practicing more. Maybe we could practice together.

Inggo: Sure! We can start now! (falls down) Aah!

(transition)

(we see Inggo lying down with bruises)

Karen: I am so proud of you, Inggo.

Inggo: Proud? Nakita mo ang sumalpakin pala mumukha ko don-

Karen: No, no, no, it's not that. It was your determinationa and showmanship that I am most proud of. You were great, Inggo.

Inggo: Ah, sa bagay, coach Miguel said my height is an advantage. I just have to practice some more. He even said he is expecting me to try-out again next year.

Karen: And I will be there to cheer for you.

Inggo: I just have to practice some more.

Karen: Yeah.

Inggo: Sepak Takraw is really the sport for me. I will pursue it!

Karen: Oh, good en-

(he sees Atoy and Dondon holding sticks)

Inggo: Oh, what are you guys doing?

Dondon: Arnis.

Karen: Oh.

Inggo: 'The Arnis team is looking for new players.' Huh! Karen!

Karen: 'This association...next Monday...' Oh.

Inggo: Sepak Takraw will have to wait. Shmuya!

Karen: Are you sure you know what you are doing, Inggo?

(we see Inggo with Arnis sticks and a Sepak Takraw ball)

Inggo: Trust me.

Karen: It does not seem right anymore.

Inggo: Yes, I agree. This is so hard.

Karen: (sighs) To have to choose? Yes, it is!

Inggo: No, no, to do two things at the same time!
