Written Task 2 practice

If the text had been written in a different time or place or language or for a different audience, how and why might it differ?
It is important to know how the text was written under what circumstances. For example, in the text For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside of Marriage was talking about negative events happening on single moms in America, and even though the birth occurring rate outside marriage is increasing worldwide, the statistic depends on the countries. Therefore the place the text was written is highly important as the information might differ based on the culture or country.

How and why is a social group represented in a particular way?
Based on the writer's view of a social group, it can be represented differently in the text. If the writer's view of a social group is negative, the text will create a negative atmosphere throughout the text, or the opposite will happen either. In the text For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside of Marriage talks about the single moms and the rise of birth rate occurring outside of marriage by providing supporting quotes, statistics, and interviews of the reason of rising number of single moms- so the reason for them being a single mom is not their choice.

  1. WWW: You have included a general statement of the topic. You have written clear thesis statements. Narrowed onto the text you will be referring to.

    EBI: mention what type of text you will be referring to. Mention how will it be different to the original text if it had been re-written. What would the renewed article include or exclude? Try not to repeat yourself. <3 Be clear that the supporting quotes, statistics, and interviews are biases.

  2. WWW: Your content provided was well narrowed and focused based on the question and did not deviate away.

    EBI: For the first question, I think instead of an introduction, you straightaway dived into the narrowed content even before you provided a general statement. The same thing happened with the second question as well. Also, if you have provided a thesis statement, it isn't clear.
