so today I want you to construct a sentence using your mother tongue language and then say the meaning of that sentence by translating it in English, is that clear?

yes mam!
I will call you alphabetically, let's start with you miss Abuela

"Ang disiplina ng isang tao ay nagmumula sa ating mga sarili"The discipline start within ourselves.

Next, you Mr. Cuenca and Mr. Dior
"Ira kabataan i pag-asa na bayan"The youth is the hope of our country.
"Agkakaysa tayu amin para iti panagbalbaliw iti lubong"Let us unite for the better world.
What did you notice during your translation of the sentences?
So a translator has to go into the background of the text to understand the text. Thus translator first de-contextualizes the original text and re-contextualizes it for the target text. This forms a good contextualized translation.
That's all for today class, I hope you learned a lot today. See you tomorrow! Class dismiss.
