What information in this unit did you find interesting?
Sorry to say that this last unit has no interesting information for me because basically most of the terms in this unit has been covered in previous unit. But for the presentation from Nana, Tun, and Lynn, I satisfied with them and their delivery regarding the topic fully understands.
Not only that, that group has also helped me in how to draft a critical review. This skill will be used in assignment 3.
The adding information by the lecturer has given clearer view about the topic.
Overall, there is no difficulty regarding this topic.

REFLECTION TASK 6
What information in this unit did you find interesting?
First of all, I would to tell about what I have learnt in this unit. At this point, I have learnt the guided to make review writing. On 25th April 2008, Chah, Zai, and Mira have presented this topic. They used Reading 7.1, “Dieting” as a guide.
At first, I was “blur” as their group also did not fully understand about review of writing. Thank God, after some explanation from Sir Humam, I got it where I have to make my own review on the chosen article and then, I have to make critical review on my friend’s review. That is mean I have to make two works in one time. Overall, there is no problem to finish my homework about the review writing and I enjoyed in doing it.
Were any concepts/tasks/terminology difficult to understand?
As I have said above, I have a little bit problem relating to the review of wrting, but after the lecture class by Sir Humam, I have no problem to finish my assignment.

REFLECTION TASK 5 (AUDIENCE AND IMPACT)
What information in this unit did you find interesting?
On 11th April, Sue, Nad and Farah has presented this unit. Here, they have helped mo to have clear understanding on audience term. In identifying audience, a good question to ask first is “who is the text clearly not intended for?”. This is often easier to answer and narrows down the range of potential audiences, so giving us important clues.
In addition, the group also has given a brief explanation about the impact. Remember that impact of the text is the effectiveness with which it achieves its purpose for a given audience
Not only that, my lecturer, Sir Humamuddin also explains the meaning as well as the function of audience and impact terms. His explanation gave clearer view to the students and approach them to provide better work especially assignment as they have fully understand the concept.
Overall, this unit is interesting since I understand all the information that has given by them.
Were any concepcts/tasks/terminology difficult to understand?
Honestly, at first, I have some difficulties to answer the question which is relating to the audience. Fortunately, after the presentation of the group and also the explanation by Sir, I got what I want. For the impact, that has no problem to me to understand the concept.

REFLECTION TASK 4 (ARGUMENT AND EVIDENCE)
My group (Wanie, Along & Ella) has presented the task regarding to argument and evidence. Below is our explanation:
Argument
can be define as a different opinion base on some reasons
opinion that support the statement
Evidence
is divided into two:
ü circumstantial evidence: note (eg handwriting)
ü
Argument + Evidence = LOGICAL PROOF (headline) (picture)
testimonial evidence: eyewitness (is preferred)
v Statistic (chart, graph, diagram, and etc) can also be the evidence to support the statement.
v Readers can evaluate it themselves by looking at the numbers and texts given.
Interesting information
Reading 4.1
- Arguments given about “Body Language That Speaks to Muggers” provide together with the evidence.
- Eg: Grayson and Stein research used video tape as the evidence support the argument that pedestrians are the easy target for mugging by the way they walk.
- From the video tape, we can see several movements characterized easy victims.
Reading 4.5
v Crooked and Fallacious is also a manipulative tools in the hand of writers wishing to influence an affect the judgment of their readers. (the way to attract the reader)
Task/terminology difficulties
* Overall, there is no difficulties in understanding all the concept/ task/ terminology in this unit, but, it takes time to proof that the arguments can be classified as hard evidence or not.

REFLECTION TASK 3 (POSITIONING)
In my perspective, I found that it is a little bit difficult to understand “positioning” term because sincerely, I have never seen this term before.
When doing the assignment which needed me to include the perspective, I have to ask my lecturer and friends to help me.
Fortunately, after some explanation from them, I can complete the position part. To my understanding, positioning the way the writer constructed the reader as well as the participant in the article.
On the other hand, there is also interesting information that I got from this task. Here, I have learnt how to “attract” the readers’ to read the article from feeling bored. Furthermore, we also can see the writer’s view regarding to the topic.
