Inference and conclusions/Transcript

(colorful wave transition)

(we see Joji holding his hands far apart)

Cathy: That's long!

(the word 'long' pops up in blue)

Cathy: Oh, I mean short! Short!

(the word 'short' pops up in red)

Joji: Alright, alright. Try...this one.

(pretends to be noisy)

Cathy: Um, I know! Noise!

(the word 'noisy' pops up in blue)

Cathy: Quiet! Is it 'quiet'?

(the word 'quiet' pops up in red)

Joji: (laughs) Yeah, that's right! Hey, there, we're playing charades, but, instead of saying the "right word", Cathy's answer should be the opposite of the right word.

(colorful wave transition)

(on a red blob, we see 'antonyms' and its definition)

Joji: Or its antonym! For example, here,

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: when I show you...

(pretends to be loud)

Joji: which means 'noisy',

(the word 'noisy' pops up in blue)

Joji: your answer should be... (pause) That's right, 'quiet',

(the word 'quiet' pops up in red)

Joji: the antonym of 'noisy'.

Cathy: Let's try it again!

Joji: Okay, try this one.

(shows a disgrunted face)

Cathy: Happy!

(the word 'happy' pops up in red)

Joji: That's right. 'Happy' is the antonym of 'sad'.

(the word 'happy' pops up in red, and 'sad' in blue)

(a bird falls on Nene's plant)

Joji: Oh, what's that?

Cathy: Ah, surprised? Wait, what's the antonym of 'surprised'? Um, 'relaxed'? Calm?

Joji: Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Cathy: No?

Joji: No, (laughs) I-I mean I really am surprised.

Cathy: What? Oh, so you're not acting! W-W-Why are you surprised? Wh-Is that a bird?

Joji: A bird fell into our plant!

Cathy: What?

Joji: I think it is hurt!

Cathy: Is it?

Joji: Someone might have thrown stones at it.

Cathy: Really? How did you know that it is hurt, and that someone threw stones at it?

Joji: Inference.

Cathy: Inference? What's that?

Joji: A smart guess.

Cathy: A smart guess?

Joji: Yes.

(colorful wave transition)

(on a red blob, we see 'inference' and its definition)

Joji: An inference is a smart guess. It isn't just a simple guess. It's a guess made from information around you,

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: and your experiences. Hmm...by looking at the bird, I can guess that it is hurt by the way it...can't move its wings right. Also, it wouldn't had land there like that if it wasn't hurt.

Cathy: Hmm, I think you're right!

Joji: Hmm, I also saw some kids throwing stones at the birds earlier.

(we see an image of just that)

Joji: I've seen them quite a few times.

Cathy: That's why your inference ius that this bird might have been hit by a stone.

Joji: That's right.

Cathy: So, that's whow inference works! A smart guess based on your observation, and your past knowledge and experience.

Joji: That's right, Cathy.

Cathy: I have an inference.

Joji: What is it?

Cathy: Based on my knowledge about first aid, and seeing how this poor bird is hurt, my inference is that she needs a good rest. This plant looks like a good place for her to do that.

Joji: That's a good inference. Maybe we should get her something to eat. Let's go?

(colorful wave transition)

(we see Ogot sitting on a bench)

Ogot: Can you make an inference? Remember, it's not just a simple guess. It's a guess based on the available information, and based on your experience.

(we see a girl covering her ears from the radio)

Ogot: What can we infer from the picture? The girl hears a loud noise from the radio, that is why she is covering her ears.

(we see a boy jumping in front of a finish line)

Ogot: How about in this picture? What do you think happened to the boy? You're right. This boy just won the race.

(in a stage, we see a boy and a girl bow)

Ogot: What do you think is happening in this picture? We can see that the actors are bowing. We can infer that the show is done, because most of the time, actors bow at the end of the show.

(in a kitchen, we see a girl holding a pan)

Ogot: What will the girl do? The girl will bake. We can see different baking tools next to her.

(we see a family wearing swimsuits)

Ogot: Where are they going? I don't think they're going to the mall. They brought their swimsuits, and they also brought their floaters. They are going to the beach.

(we see a man with a net and a boat)

Ogot: What does this man do for a living? We can say that he fishes for a living, because he has a boat, and a net.

(colorful wave transition)

Ogot: We use inference to understand the things around us. It is a skill we often use, so look around you, and practice your inference power! (laughs)

(colorful wave transition)

(we see a series of events)

Girl: Last summer, when I was on vacation,

(the word 'vacation' in a red blob and its definition 'a time when you don't have to work or go to school' in blue pops up below)

Girl: we went to my grandparents' house in the province. I helped them with in the chores. I helped Lola clean the house, and wash clothes. I helped Lolo pick some fruits and vegetables in the garden. My grandparents own a small business.

(the word 'vacation' in a red blob and its definition 'a place where people sell things' in blue pops up below)

Girl: I helped Lolo and Lola sell fruits and vegetables in the market. People sell different things in the market. Some sell meat and fish, while some sell rice, and then, I saw one Manong selling birds. They're not just ordinary birds, they're colorful ones. I asked Lolo to buy me one, but Lolo told me it is something to be concerned about,

(the words 'to be concerned about' in a red blob and its definition 'to be worried about someone or something' in blue pop up below)

Girl: because that is against the law. He said that those birds are endangered, and should not be kept as pets. It is illegal,

(the word 'illegal' in a red blob and its definition 'doing something that is against the law' in blue pops up below)

Girl: and you will get arrested by the police, if you sell, or have one of these birds. He said pet trade should be stopped,

(the words 'pet trade' in a red blob and its definition 'when animals are sold and bought illegaly' in blue pop up below)

Girl: He said pet trade should be stopped, because some animals should be kept in the wild. It was sad to hear that, and before I knew it, the Manong who sells the birds, suddenly was gone! I think he heard Lolo. I hope he would let go of the birds!

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Have you seen a blue-naped parrot? They are parrots found in the northern part of the Philippines! Sadly, they are endangered species! Meaning their number is getting smaller and smaller. The story that I'm going to share is about a blue-naped parrot. Her name is Para.

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Para, the Brave and Beautiful. Story by Basa Pilipinas.

(page flip)

Joji: 'Para is a blue-naped parrot. Why do we call her a blue-naped parrot? It's because the back of her head and neck is blue.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: What kind of parrot is Para?

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'We call the back of the upper part of the neck the nape. Blue-naped parrots are special. Because of their blue nape, red beak, green feathers, and wings with black and gold. They are very colorful and beautiful.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'Parrots like Para live in Philippine forests. Praa and other parrots like her live in Luzon, in the more norther part of the Philippines.'

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: Where do they live?

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'We should all be concerned about Para and other parrots like her. They are slowly becoming endangered. That means the nunmber of these parrots are getting smaller snd smaller. Why are they endangered?'

(page flip)

Joji: 'Well, one reason is that humans build more homes, cities, and businesses. These parrots lose the forests where they live.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'A second reason is that some people want to catch parrots and sell them! This is not legal. Illegal pet trade is wrong.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'One man told his story about seeing a blue-naped parrot. He was on vacation last week in Tagaytay. He was in a church yard, and a blue-naped parrot was on a tree branch.'

(page flip)

Joji: 'The bird spoke to everyone coming to the church. It said "Kumain na kayo? Kumain na kayo?" When visitors left, it said 'goodbye'. "Paalam. Paalam."

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: We will continue the story of Para, the Brave and Beautiful, tomorrow.

(colorful wave transition)

Cathy: Eat some more, little bird! You need to be stronger, so that you can fly again. Joji, how long will it be before it can fly again?

Joji: Well, it depends, but...it looks determined. Look! It's stretching its wings!

Cathy: And it eats and drinks whatever we feed it!

(the bird tries to fly)

Joji: Oh, hey!

Cathy: What are you doing, little bird? Joji, I think it is trying to fly!

Joji: (laughs) I have the same inference, Cathy! I told you it's very determined.

(the bird leaves the house)

Joji: Look, it recovered so fast! Way to go, little bird!

Cathy: Wow!

(the bird returns to Nene's plant)

Cathy: Aw, I think it likes it here. Looks like it likes how we take care of her.

Joji: Well, you can stay as long as you want, little bird.
