5. Narrator: People are difficult to understand, you might never know how she or he will react or think to certain things. When we were children, our actions are being guided by our emotions. We decide solely on what we feel. When we're hungry, lonely or hurt we cry, and when play were we are happy. A child's action towards his environment is illustrated by a certain formula. It is child: emotions = actions. As simple as that, but as we grow older, this formula gets complicated. As an adult, we try to adapt with every situations. We choose when to convey or hide our emotions. We try to analyze things and rationalize as much as possible. There can be different factors affecting our reaction towards an event. You religion that has been teaching you to pray or cling to God whenever you are lonely is an example for this. It can also be affected by your principles, morals, logics, teachings and the like.

6. Narrator: We will be discussing the different SOP for being excused in a class mainly due to numbers of students missing almost everything once they were not excused. I have an example here about a student who was absent and missed an exam that has a very big bearing on his class standing's grade. He was ill that time so he failed to take the examination, though he knew that there is an exam. The following day he approached his professor for a special exam but he did not have any medical certificate to show that he was really ill. Now in those cases, you should know where to secure permit to avail special exams or quizzes. First is to visit the Student Affairs Office to fill-up some forms. After that, you will be sent to the clinic or to the medical center to undergo check-up. You'll have to take the result back to the SAO and by that, they can issue an excuse letter saying that you can take the special examination. Question: What did the teacher mean by SOP?

Staying Out of Practice

The rules and regulations

School Operating Policy

8. What does the lecturer wanted his students to understand?

That myths are interrelated

Both myths are identical

Both myths are alike and entertaining

9. Narrator: In Roman mythology and Greek mythology are both known in literature. The only difference is with their names like Neptune in Romanian while Poseidon in Greeks and both of them is the god of the sea or water. I understand if more of us are interested with Greek mythology rather than the Roman's. Well, Roman mythology is incredibly constructed with class too. But then, maybe we are more familiar with Greek mythology since it had been featured not only on books but on movies too. The sequences are dominantly exciting and entertaining. However, let us not condemn right away because the fact is; the goddess and gods of the Romans are influenced by the Greek religion. They copied those legendary characters and provided them their own Romanian identity. Not only that, actually some historical claims that Greek mythology was based on Egyptian's beliefs and myths who lived before the Greeks. Question: What can you infer about the lecture?

Greek mythology is more exciting and entertaining than Roman mythology.

The beginning of the mythologies is already proven by the date of creation.

Egyptian beliefs and myths are the root cause for the creation both Roman and Greek mythology.

Roman and Greek mythology are identical when it comes to their gods and goddesses.
