Celebrity gossip publication.

The celebrity gossip publication indicates many names of celebrity to make it more interesting for the readers and also the writer seems to borrow the word directly from a celebrity of from a celeb's insider to make it sound more real and trustful. It seems to have many quotient since the writer wrote from somebody else's word. The writing is done by informal way.

Gossip

The writer catch one of the hottest topic in the Hollywood, in terms of catching more audience. They got information from the targets' friends , family and themselves. In the mix-up and crazy world, people got more interested in others' personal issues, they want to get into others' life but noramlly that is impossible. So the gossip magazines provide the information which people eager to hear or look to public. The gossip artical always involved personal emotion.

Audience Analysis

Celebrity gossip publication

First of all, celebrity gossip publication has to be easy to read and attractive to the public, which means it is read by anyone who wants to know about the popular issues of celebrities today. Celebrity gossip publication provides us some interactions and social connection with other people who have same interests. And because of these characteristics, it usually contains lots of emotions and the text seems to be very friendly to us such as a dialogic style.

Biochemistry Report

The biochemistry research reports aim to inform the experts in the field the lastest development, so, all through the article, the author was trying to explan a phenomenon of the rat cell, without any comment words,which makes the text pretty emotionless and informative.On the other hand, because this is a scientific research paper in a specific field, the specificity was demonstrated by the appearence of many biochemical professional words, making the text only be absolutely understood by the experts in this field. All through the text we can see that research report is a kind of informative article for a narrow group of people in a specific field.

Bio Chem Research report

The information provided in the research document is very specific information. It includes all the facts and figures.Words like " thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide show how specific the information is".The report contains no emotion at all it just the result of the resaerch. We can judge this by the first line of the report which states "The secretion of prolactin (PRL) from pituitary lactotrophs of the rat is predominantly under inhibitory control exerted by dopamine (DA) of hypothalamic origin (1)".

How does the text do this?

There are many words that show the creativity and emotion of character in the novel.
Especially, since this novel is written in 1st person view, the things that are happened are described very realistic. Also, stories are continued as time goes on. I also could see the conflicts among characters.

Celebrity gossip publication

In this topic It talks about the probable news about the couples marriage(comfirmed or uncomfirmed).
The love between the two stars makes it to the headlines on the newspaper..

Bio Chem Research report

How does the TEXT do this? (newspaper editorial)

The use of text in newspaper editorial in The New York Times expresses some perspective, philosophy and prediction through out the article. In order to do that, the author uses a strong personal point of view to convice the readers to feel as how he or she does. Using supports such as information from the real dramatic situation and some effective choices of vocabulary really help in expressing those qualities.

celebrity gossip publication

The author of this editorial seems to be really interested on Brad and Jolie's relationship. From this, the reader who are also interested on their relationship may find excitement to hear about such a news or dissapointment if the reader wanted Brad and Jennifer to be together once again. By reading these kind of gossip about famous people can make the readers to feel more close to certain celeb since they get to know a little details about them. Since celebrities are famous over the country, readers might want to know them more in depth like they know about their own close friends. I think readers are getting close to celebrities by reading gossip publications.

Audience Analysis Sample

Celebrity Gossip Publication


Celebrity gossip magazine about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie perfectly influences its readers by its wording. Such as using words like 'golden couple', 'speculation' and 'lovebird'. Not only that the writer uses the exaggerated words but also peer evidences. Using quotations of people close Brad and Angleina makes the readers to pay attention little more. Also the writer contrasts with Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, how she is dating someone else. This way, people get more interested in seeing irnoic view of celebrity relationship.

Novel

How does the text show creativity, entertain people, give moral insights and enrich our vocabulary?

In Novels, most of the writers are able to build up the story and make them interesting by twisting the plot or by bringing out the attitude of the character in the story. They also uses interesting vocabulary or even common ones but they are used in a way that is not normally used by people. Most novels also uses speeches that allows us to get the characteristic and behaviour of the characters in the story. Examples are that we are able to know that the wife in the story does not like Andrea as she uses harsh words such as snatch and interfering.

Factors such as creative vocabulary and interesting plot twist usually entertain the reader as they are able to get what the character is feeling. Some of the characters in the novel may also be alike in a way to a reader. This will give the readers better ideas of what they are like and give us a chance to change.

Comments on Newspaper Editorial - Lily

How does the text do this?

In a newspaper editorial, the emotions of the writter are really predominant, and generally they are shown by the use of personal pronouns like in the sentence: "from our perspective".

Also the editorials demonstrate the position the authour is on the subject, how s/he thinks about the topic takes a biased side over the topic in order to convey his emotion and make the audience understand his perspective. It is often that by the writter giving his own point of view some phylosophy can be expressed.

The writter in a newspaper editorial, needs to show his credibility by writting in a formal language and with complex words, e.g: "filibuster ", "grandiose ".

Biochemistry report

Reference that listed at the bottom of the sample and Endothelin Action on Pituitary Lactotrophs, which is the title of the sample show that biochemstiry report mostly maintains information.
We could know that biochemstiry report use very specifi and technical information thorough this sentence: The secretion of prolactin (PRL) from pituitary lactotrophs of the rat is predominantly under inhibitory control exerted by dopamine (DA) of hypothalamic origin (1).
Biochemstiry report is emotionlessness because there are no 'I' ,'she', 'he', or 'they' words that can lead to include emotion in the writing.

audience analysis

In Joyce Carol Oates novel, The Female of the Species, there is suspense and anxiety which is very entertaining and creative. In the end of the example, the narrator does not find out who the caller is becuase on the caller id it says 'UNAVAILABLE', this is very mysterious which will make the reader want to read further on and find out who the caller is. I am assuming this book is very intense because at one part the narrator complains about her friend, and also mysterious, which will attract lots of different readers.

My writing process

Hi, Rakpong First of all, this is really weird because writing an email to myself is something that I've never ever done before. Since, I my topic is “what is my writing process”, here they are.

Choosing a topic is really important in writing a piece of work. In order to choose a good topic, I must really think of who my readers are. If the readers are middle-age people, they probably be interested in the world or society. If I write things about teenage stuff such as hiphop music, they won't probably feel interested in the work. The second step is the preperation. This step for me is the most important step because this step controls how good your paper would come out. Brainstorming is one option that I use for planning my work. I write down all the ideas and group them together and start to plan how I would use those information in my paper. The final step, I'll write out the paper with my plan accordingly. I'll start with the body first and then follow by the introduction and conclusion. And the very last thing I do is to check for grammar error and spelling.

Political Motive

About four months ago there was a coup occured in Thailand and the government was overthrown. The next day people constitute a new government. Later on during the new year 06-07, there was explosion around bangkok (important places) and I was there while enjoying the count down. Worse, I've seen people got injured and I was involve in helping those people. They suspect the old government had a revenge. This story might interest those who never seen a real tragic and wants to learn how life saving process works.

Semester Topic

Topic:Corruption

Audience:Will appeal to all people with social responsibility and who feel that corruption spoils the lifestyle of the people

My writing process

When I am about to write an article, first, I will try to think about and make clear the topic I am going to write. If you are not clear about the topic you should write, it makes no sense no matter how much you write. Then I will think what kind of article I am going to write. Different styles of articles have different requirements. It's impossible for you write a novel in a debate form.
After doing this, I will do what everyone familiar, brainstorm. Just think what ever that hit your mind about the topic. The more you think the more material you can use in your write.
Now comes the most important part, making an outline. It does not need to be very long, one sentence represents every paragraph is enough, but it's essential. You can see what you article will be from your outline even before the article is finished. It happened to me before I had the habit to write outline that during my writing, I suddenly forgot what I going to write in the following part. Then I could do nothing but continue my writing in a different way. This made my article far from what I expected before writing, thus I didn't not express the idea I wanted to tell completely. So, having an outline before writing is pretty necessary.
Only after having an outline will I begin writing the article itself. It is somewhat just like retelling your outline in more words. Because I have outline, I know what I going to write, so I will pay more attention to the precision of words and fluency of the sentences.
After writing, I will have a check to see if the article really expressed what I want to say in the whole and whether there is any grammar mistakes. Then, I can tell that it's down.

Semester Topic

Topic: Adventure sports like sky diving and bungy jumping.

Audience: Sports promoters, marketing companies and youth because every youngster is attracted to these kinds of sports.

I personally have the experience of Bungy jumping and mountain biking, that will help me in my first draft. Bungy jumping has personally changed my life a lot; which I will be happy to write in my first draft.

I want to let others know about an advantages they can get from different airlines and what the disadvantages would be, and the different policies of the airlines.

Semester Topic

Topic: Effects of the Free Trade in El Salvador

I think this in an interesting and important topic mostly for people who is directly connected with employment in El Salvador, either employees, employers, investors or politicians that could be benefit or damage with the free trade agreements that have been being implemented within the past 10 years.

I personally have experience on the topic, because I grew up in El Salvador, and my family has a clothes factory that is being greatly affected because of the free trade. However, I must say that there are some advantages and disadvantages, which I would like to compare and talk in my writing

semester topic

SEMESTER TOPIC: Process of Higher Education Application in China and America

RELATION TO THE TOPIC: I chose this topic for this semester’s English composition course because this is an area that I really want to explore more. American higher education is famous for its high standard and is the representative of western education system. Chinese higher education, on the other hand, represents the eastern system. I will write four essays to explore the difference in one aspect of these two educational systems, application process, in depths. On the othe hand, I myself have experience both the process. I had my first two years’ college education in China and then applied to transfer to Purdue. So comparing others who just go to college in either China or America, I think I have more to say.

WHO WILL BE INTERESTED IN MY TOPIC: Nowadays, many college students in China began to think if the Chinese higher education is working well. The application system is one of the areas they think about most. In these years, many people began to discuss whether the current application process is the best choice. I hope my essays will help they get to know about how is the application process in other educational system and what they can learn from it to improve the Chinese higher educational system. For Americans, I think my topic might also be helpful, because education is an area where you can see the difference between the western and eastern philosophy. Chinese education system indicates the eastern Confucian philosophy, which emphasis more on education than western world, so in China, grade is everything in application, and the better the school you go, maybe the cheaper you pay and more fellowship you’ll get because people believe that you will be a great person and contribute more than others.

Semester Topic

Topic: I would like to write about adjusting to college life from a international student point of view.

Audience: This would attract any exchange student that use to live to the city instead of a small town and also people that are planning on moving to the US.

Semester Topic

Topic: United States' education system differing by states
Relation to the topic: I am a New York state resident, even though I've never attended school in New York state but my brother and cousins are currently attending public schools in New York. United States's education system differs alot by states. Each states have their own system of edcation to better suit the state residents. Because what public schools require is different by states, it is very complicated to transfer from one state to another even in high school. For my self, I've experienced the difference between NewYork's system and Indiana's system. I though I could easily be considered as in-state student after one year of attenting Purdue because I knew that New York does allow students to change their status after one year of living in New York if possible to prove it. I belive many people are not aware of these differences between states.
Who will be interest in my topic?: I think basically any students or their parents who is concerned about their education would be interested in this topic. Any students who needs to change their school into different state or concerned about their status in out of state college would be more willing to read the papers that I'll be writing

Semester Topic

Topic: May 13

Relation to Topic: Every Indonesian will know and remember the date May 13. By May 13, I don't mean the ones that you can find in wikipedia, such as the births and history, etc. The exact date will be 13th of May 1998. Some of us Indonesians may not have experienced it directly, but we heard stories and news from our relatives. I myself got affected indirectly by the incident.

Who will be interested in my topic: Historians probably? People who wanted to know about why many Indonesian Chinese are now spread throughout the world. Others who wants to know the history of Indonesia and those who want to know more about Indonesia and what is going on there.

Edit:

More Info: On 12th of May 1998, a student was shot dead. the next day after the student was burried, a demonstartion occured that turned into a horrible riot. The riot lasted for months and left irrepairable damages to the economy, government and many other factors. We Indonesian calls it the May 13 incident. However, it seems that what happened during May 13 was not quite an incident but a possible plot by the government to kick out the chinese from Indonesia. During that time, Most of the economy is controlled by the Chinese and many Indonesian was unhappy. Now, when you go to Singapore or even China, you may find a lot of Indonesian Chinese there. They migrated there due to this.

Even More Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_Revolution_of_1998
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta_riots_of_May_1998

Who else will be interested: Investors, Economist and Business Man. Invertors wants to know how the country is doing before they will want to invest in a country. This will mean that they would research on what happens so far and wether the country will be a safe investment. The same with business man, but they would probably also include wether the country is safe enough. Economist will want to know why Indonesia's Economy suddenly became bad. Future Generations many future generation would probably want to know why their grandparents escaped from Indonesia.

my writing process

Probably all of us in this room were taught to do brainstorming before writing some type of essays, reports, and etc. At least, I know I was. Even though I was taught that way, I'm not used to start writing from brainstorming. It just takes me more time to start wrting. So instead, I do outlines, but somehow I skip this step very often also and go straight into writing out actual paper even though I know that I write better with outlines.

As I start writing, I begin facing my biggest problem of writing, the thesis statement. Introduction part always has been the most problem to me. I would always get stuck at the introduction and spend probably the most time writing along with my second problem, the conclusion. Body part was not a problem to write if I knew what I had to write about and had right information. Introduction and the conclusion was the bomb through out my writing process.

Lack of variety in using vocabularies is another problem I have when writing. As I write my papers, I have to go back and find some words on Korean-English dictionary since I think in korean as I write and sometimes the words in my mind wouldn't come out directly in English. To give some variety in vocabularies to my writing dictionary and thesarus are the must have for me.

If I get stuck in the middle of it and don't know what to write anymore, I start reading off from the beginning and think about what the next sentence should say. I also make some corrections as I read it out. The next one that I found it difficult to do was keeping the tense consistent. I would always go back and forth on present and past tense. Most of my English teacher had comments on that inconsistency. And it was very difficult to fix and probably I'm doing it now too!

Semester Topic

Jingjing

Topic: The trend of classical music

Relation to the topic: I have played Electone which is a kind of instrument related to organ for 12 years. Most of the compositions I played are adapted from classical music. Though many people say classical music is too complicated for people at my age to understand, I am still a big fan of it. With the prosperousness of new music, the conflict between classical and new music is growing. The industry of classical music has been declining all these years. The audience is shrinking, and some people even think classical music is going to die. As a fan of classical music, I am deep interested in the trend of classical music.

Who will be interest in my topic?: classical music fans, musicians, professors of Music department, CD producers in the industry of classical music

Semester Topic

Hyuk Kwon

My topic: Two different high school lives.

Relation to topic: Since I went to high schools in both my country, Korea and the U.S., I have experienced and seen many difference between high schools in those two countries. A primary goal of going to school is same, however, how they learn and what they learn are very different. And those factors determine where students spend their time at other than studying, and even make student's whole life style. I have many things to talk about this topic, and that is why I chose this as a semester topic.

Who will be interest in my topic?: People who who have never gone to high school in different country other than the U.S.

My Writing Process

When I write something down, I first make an outline about what I am going to say. If the paper is a fomal, I usually think of main ideas first, and then sub-points. If the paper is not a formal, I just come up with many ideas in my head, and state them in a correct order.
After making an outline, placing the ideas and thoughts in a nice order is next. I learned from middle school and high school that there are three stages in most papers, which are introduction, body, and conclusion.
For introduction,I usually state brirefly what I am going to talk about and overall topic. And the body paragraph is where my thoughts and whole ideas are stated in detail. In conclusion, I sum up what I state in body paragraphs and finish up with a clincher.

Semester Topic

My topic:Leadership.

Relation to topic: Since I was attending high school, I have felt the importance of leadership. And, I was trained my leadership by volunteering many activities to help people in community.

Semester Topic Choice

Topic: Exchange Student

Relation to topic: I have relationship to the topic because in the past I was exchange student

Who will be interest in my topic?: People who don't know about exchange student program
or people who are interest in foregin countries

My writing process

When I write something I think I follow some steps, and they are divided by four steps because most of them are academic writings.
First step is choosing topic. I think this is the hardest step in whole writing process.
If I can’t think anything about topic, I do brain-storming because it helps me to narrow down thoughts. When I ready to choose topic, I consider whether the topic is reasonable or not.
Second step is rough draft. Thoughts from first step need to be briefly expressed through writing in this step. Writing down thoughts is more important than grammar or structure of writing because correct content of writing is the most important in writing process.
Third step is second draft. This step also called by final draft. The writing should be completed in this step. Not only content but also grammar and structure of writing need to be checked carefully.
Final step is examination of writing. Even though previous steps are followed correctly, there could be mistakes on the writing, and examination should perform objectively. After writer examines the writing by self, the writing should be examined by outsider who has ability to examine any writing objectively.

My writing process

My association with English language has been a long one. I come from a country called Pakistan where there are two official languages, Urdu and English. The format and scripts of both the languages are totally different. Urdu starts from the right hand side where as English starts from the left hand side. Education in schools, colleges and universities in Pakistan is in English and I am better at English writing than Urdu writing.
To start with I do not actually enjoy writing. But writing could be fun at times especially when you taking to friends on the internet. Most of the writing I've done was at high school. My writing process includes formal and informal writing. Whenever writing an essay or report I always brain storm first and make outlines on how to link up my points and ideas. My Formal writing includes essays, letters and report writing and my informal writing is when I am talking to my friends on the internet combining Urdu and English words. When I do have ample time I like to make a rough draft first so that I have an idea what my writing sounds or looks like.Usually what I do is that I break my writing in to at least three parts, the starting, body and conclusion.

My writing process

I generally like to write about my self. It seems to work out very well since I know about my self better than any other person. I like to use a phrase such as for example, I think, and etc. When I am writing for school (academic) I tend to write at least three times before the final draft. I do not feel comfortable with my writing skills so, I try to check my spellings, grammars, and other things that would correct my writing before I submit my work. When I first write I usually write down all the ideas and thoughts about that topic and sort them out later. During my second draft I tend to add and drop things to make my topic to appear more clear. Most of my writings were done for academic reasons. Especially in high school, I had to write essays and project papers. I like to write in Internets where I do not have to worry too much about the grammar or punctuation and talk on messenger where I can talk to people I like.

Process of my writing

Before I write anything about myself or my opinion, I first think of people who are going to read my article. From this step, I can decide the purpose of my writing. After that, I try to bring out any images that are related to what I am going to write. In my opinion, this step could be called brainstorming. In this step, research will greatly help me to gather informations that I am going to write about. Once I completed the brainstorming, I now start conncecting ideas. Normally, I write five complete paragraphs for my essays. In these five paragraphs, I could contain one introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs, and one concluding paragraph. After I am done writing, I usually ask to someone who is better in using English than I am to revise my essays. Finally, I revise my essays based on what my peers or teachers corrected on my essays.

Process of Writing

I never had the perfect five paragraph format during my high school years. What my tutors, teachers,and brother encouraged me to do was to just write my ideas down. Without no formats and right sentence structures, I only draw down my ideas about the topic. This writing process helps to connect the idea with consistency, flow and logic. When I am done with my essay ideas and topics, I begin to edit my work; fixing the sentence structures and paragraph formats. After I finish editing myself the essay, I give it to someone who can double check the essay. I also use my background knowledge and interests as one of the tools to write. I use personal experience and memories in musical interest and sports to show my insights or ideas about the topic. Not only using my personal experience helps me to produce better writing but also scraps from a book or novel. I use other people's interests to take deeper consideration of the topic.

Describe Your writting

Describe Your Writing

Every time I write a paper either a school paper or a friends letter I try to
pick a title for the writing, since it will make me focus on what I want to say
on my writing.

All the time at school they told us to create an Organizing principle, which
shortly describes what your writing it's going to be about, and continuously
keep on referring to that organizing principle so that you don't move away from
the main purpose of your writing. This is really useful when answering essays
questions, because usually what happens is that you tend to move from topic and
don't answer the question.

Moreover, I also tend to make a brainstorm of all the ideas I want to include in
my writing, that way I can remember everything I want to include and also
carefully plan the sequence every idea it should be written in.

In school they also taught me to write in paragraphs, and separate them by the
different ideas you present on the writing, this helps the reader to understand
more what you are saying and also to encourage him to read your paper, since
most commonly when you look a single big paragraph of writing you are
discourage to read it.

The writing skills for different audience is also important, I constantly
change my writing style depend for who its directed to. For the reason that a
children won't easily understand a letter if it's writing in very complex
words. However, an employer won't be impress with a letter that is written in a
very simplistic style. Therefore, I tend to change my style depending on the
audience.

In general my writing is based on what I would like to read, and makes it easy
to understand.

Process of Writing

Most of what I write about now is on a blog, which is what comes up to my mind on a regular basis. Writing on a blog is very different from writing in school because it is not something that I would take seriously and much more informal.
So when i write an essay for a school assignment, I would start off by generating a thesis that is related to the topic. My thesis would contain the topic I am writing about and its supporting ideas. Usually my thesis is one sentence.
After my thesis is written, I would try to write a very short introduction because I personally think the intro to a paper is the hardest part to write about. Since I have my thesis I would start by writing my supporting paragraphs. My supporting ideas will be backed by evidence, which I think is pretty easy for me to write about.
After all of my supporting paragraphs are done, i would write the conclusion, which is just a paragrph where i sum up what i am trying to say and where i rephrase my thesis again. AFter all of this is done, i would go back to my intro and try to find something catchy or intersting to put into it. Then finally i would go back and edit my whole paper, usually during this process, there will be a lot of deleting,adding, and rephrasing because i am not satisfied with a lot of what i wrote.

Description Of My Writing Process

I have written many essays and have tried different writing processes. I have been writing essays since I was Primary 3 in Singapore which means around 8 years ago. I used to get good grades for my composition (as it was called in Primary School in Singapore) but it degenerates as I went to Secondary School.

I mainly write Narrative essay and ususally get okay marks for it while my argumentative esssay is kinda... I know I am probably not suppose to say it, but, it generally suck. Argumentative is my weakest section in essay writing and i avoid it as best as i could.

I usually write my essays straight from the brain to my hands and I just write and the story develops inside me. Many teachers encourage students to brainstorm for ideas, outline the plot, etc to make the story interesting and the climax to be at the appropriate time. However, i think that that is not very correct. My style of writing is to follow the story and develop it as you write. This allows me to at some point of time to twist the plot and get an unexpected ending which cannot be done if you had outline the whole story before hand.

The problem i have with this style is that sometime i may ran out of idea before the story ends or half way through the story, I realize that the ending will be so unrealistic that my essay would be fit only for kids to read and is most likely unacceptable to the teachers or other adult who will grade it.

Another problem is that sometime I write a little too much... ok sometime more that a little. There was once where if i had continued my writing, it will sum up to be more than a thousand when the number of words allowed was 350-550 words. From what i heard from my teacher, this is very dangerous as most of the markers in Cambridge University, they tend to dislike very long essays and either they pinnalize you or worse, when your essay reaches that word limit, they will just cross out the rest of the essay and not even take a look at it. The problem with this is that the part that they canceled out may have been the climax to the narrative or the most important argument in an argumentative.

My style of writing have lots of problem that comes with it, other than the grammar mistakes that i will make, I generally gets exicted as the story develops and my hand writing becomes more and more messy and unreadable. I got scolded by my teacher most of the time as they were unable to read my handwriting.

No matter what, I think that I will still use my style of writing as I feel that a writer should pour their heart and soul into their writing. Only by this way, a writer would really be satisfied that the story that they ended with truly comes from the heart, his heart. The other possible styles, sometime limits your writing and causes the story line to sometime end early or just don't connect with the whole plot.
