WEEK 3

As usual, there are two presentations in one week. This third week, turn to the presentation of some topics entitled ‘A Linguistic Perspective’ and ‘The Formation of Individuals in Discourse and Genre’. The first topic presented by me, myself and my friend Faiz. I think our presentation is excellent when Madam Yaya said it’s very good. It also can be seen after all of my classmate’s face seems satisfy and doesn’t look confuse when we elaborate the details. Under ‘Linguistic Perspective’, the main point is the five aspects of writing that are field, tenor, mode, genre and ideology. field means an area of knowledge, interest and study, tenor is the general meaning or character of something, mode is a manner of doing something, genre defined as type of art while ideology is a set of belief.

Second presentation is presented by Aien and Ekin. Their presentation from my view is not so good when they just read their long point and they make it harder for us to understand. It is all about the way of using language to describe character in their surrounding. The language used by the writer is making a comparison between two kinds of people that is described as Miss Seductress and Ms Winner. Example of language to illustrate the two misses as Miss Seductress touches everyone, give direct eye contact, make her body to do the talking but Ms Winner shows confident, relax posture, co-ordinate outfit and well-modulated conversation too.
