Effective styles of writing
I found this debate effective because both the women use simplistic language which I feel is appropriate for middle-aged women. However, the simple language used suggests that the women are of a lower intelligence level. The tone in which the women speak is very chatty and makes women readers feel they are not alone- as if they can confide in these women. The two opposing arguments makes this debate effective as it shows two different opinions but they back up their opinions with explanations.
I found this article successful as it had a headline that told the reader a bit about what the article is about to tell them, then it is followed by a by-line which gives more information to the reader about the article. This headline makes the reader want to read further because the writer uses statistics to emphasise how tragic the accident was. Throughout the article the writer uses quotes from interviews with people, who witnessed the accident, to make it sound more realistic to the reader. Again, this article is very simplistic, however this is beneficial to the reader as states what happened clearly, without having the need to use difficult language.
This piece of writing is very different to the others I have chosen. This is an informative piece of writing. The variation of language used through out if more complex and the way the punctuation has been used; the punctuation is more varied and the writer hasn’t just used simple punctuation. Also, the way the sentences are structured and the complex wording tells us that the target audience if for highly-educated people. However, this piece of writing is very informal as it is very chatty “even worse news” this makes the report more personal to the reader.
