Read Study Guide Part 4, sections 2 and 3. ( I will upload this for you ).
Describe the purpose and generic structure of the practice text; that is, identify the genre and the major stages in the text. Use the paragraph (see below) numbers to explain your answer.
Answering these questions may help:
a) Why did the writer write this text?
b) Is the writer aiming at a particular ‘text type’ or genre e.g. letter, set of instructions, discussion essay etc.?
c) Is the structure/staging of the essay consistent with the target genre? In other words, how successful has the writer been in achieving the target genre?
Paragraph:
1 All children watch TV but maybe it’s not such a good thing.
2 On one hand, television can teach you lots of things, like the alphabet and maths. Sesame Street is really popular and there are lots of other programmes which I think are good and you can learn things from them.
3 Nevertheless, children’s TV makes kids think it’s cool to swear and fight, which leads to accidents from them fighting.
4 Nontheless, children become addicted to the television. They stay inside all day which is just lazy and unhealthy. This makes children overweight.
5 Watching too many cartoons can block children’s imagination and when writing stories children get ideas from programmes which also block imagination.
6 However, we might start watching adult TV if there was no more kids TV. This could show swearing and other things of that sort.
7 On the other hand, television is a great source of employment. It provides work for everyone. In addition children can improve acting skills and adults can work and have fun too.
8 However, television is also a social thing. People talk about programmes the next day with friends and I like seeing what my friends think about things. And having discussions improves skills in school.
9 In conclusion, many people will have their say as there are plenty of arguments on both sides.
