Commentary on article.
While writing the my article for the metro, there was a
number of things I had to do to make it seem very realistic and believable that
I was a 50 year old man had wrote this .Firstly I wrote in a standard English register to
appeal to my audience and as I this is what my dad would normally speak in with
the odd bit of taboo language. I picked to do this article in the metro as I believe
that it was the most fitting for this type of restaurant as the restaurant was
in London and the metro is for the readers of London. I used grapholgical
features such as pictures of the food served and pictures of the actual restaurant
to entice readers. The purpose of my text was to inform as well as advice and
entertain due to comical features in my text. In the first few paragraphs it
was quite off the subject of reviewing the restaurant, it was more around the
subject of turning 50 and the associations with being 50 and I decided to talk
about this as the reason why we were going out for a meal was for my dad’s 50th
birthday. I decided to waffle for the first few paragraphs to set the scene and
comfort readers in to the article, also to entertain. I started off by using a
quotation of what my dad said to really make it seem that he said it.
You are showing an awareness of the influence of your style model on the writing process, and the necessary changes for a different audience, well done! To improve, you need to choose specific examples for analysis through the linguistic methods.
