I learned about one of the Anglo-American literature icons and who's the author of light in my darkness and her name is Helen Adams Keller. I learned about litotes which means it's an ironic understatement in which an affirmative is expressed by the negative of its contrary. I also learned that casual communicative styles use jargon, slang, and colloquial words. I find it a bit difficult to find the contrary in our activity or task we did. The highlight of the topic is "Employing Appropriate Communicative Styles". It is about choosing the right words or tone when talking to someone about something and it must be appropriate based on who you are talking to.

Our second lesson in English 9 is all about Using Conditionals in Expressing Arguments. There are several structures in English that we call conditionals or if conditionals. The word "condition" means "situation or circumstance". There are 4 conditionals and it is zero conditional, first conditional, second conditional, and lastly third conditional. Conditionals are used in expressing stands or arguments which may help persuade others to move or act and even change their thoughts.
The activities are a little bit easy because the lesson is easy to understand. I learned that Conditionals are statements expressing the result of a particular condition. Conditional statements also may appear in both affirmative and negative structures. I find it a little difficult to understand is finding the correct conditionals because some of the sentences were a little confusing for me. The highlight of the topic is "expressing" because in this topic Conditionals is used in expressing stands or arguments, and in arguments is where we also express our feelings in the argument.
