Answer

Learning Activity 1 – Personal Letter

In Learning Activity 1 (LA1) the material is about personal letter. The three personla letters show some
differences, yet they also share some similarities in terms of social function,text structure, and lexico-
grammatical feature.

In term of social function, they are generally written to help people in building and maintaining personal
relationship. But more than that, each sender has his/her own purposes. The first letter specially sent to
reconect, ask and share news to an old friend who lives away. The second is sent to make a new
frienship relation, and the third is to respond the previous letter sent to her.

In term structure, each of them has greeting, body of letter, and closing. It just diffrent in some detail
part of each structure.

In term of lexico grammatical feature, all of them use simple present to tell personal news, past tense to
share past experience. But they are different in some features. The first letter has date write on top,
using casual greeting ‘Dear Fatima’ and ‘Love’ in closing part showing close relation. The second and the
third letter has no date and the greeting is casual but not as intimate as the first letter.

Learning Activity 2 – Announcement

Both printed and spoken announcements have the same general purpose, it is to share information
publicly about what has happened or will happened. The structure is not quite different, with the
heading at the beginning and followed by some detail of the information. The spoken announcement
begins with greeting before coming to the point of announcement while the printed forms usually have
tittle on top of the announcement. Besides, in spoken announcement, the introduction of the
announcer is usually done at the beginning of the announcement while the printed form is usually at the
end of announcement. Spoken announcement also requires the speaker to pay attention to the
pronounciation and intonation to make the information clear while the printed one is focus on the
punctuation mark and other requirements of a good writting.

Laerning Activity 3 – analytical Exposition

An analytical expository text should be well-planned and well-structure to be a good one. It is sructured
respectively from thesis to introduce the case and writer’s position. Arguments to support his position,
and reiteration to strengh then the thesis. Through a good analytical exposition, the writer are able to
persuade the reader that the case he is talking about is important by stating strong arguments to
support his position. Arguments are well supported with clear explanation and evidents.
Learning Activivity 4 – Hartatory Exposition

Hartatory exposition text, which aims to persuade the readers about what they should do and should
not to be done, consists of thesis as the introduction of the idea/phenomenom that will be discussed.
Than followed by an argument which contains the opinions to make the idea proposed by the writer
trusted. And the last is recomendation which states the writer’s suggestion to do or not doing
something things have been discussed.

The Stength and the weaknesses are :

arguments to the reader with

My opinion about this particular model is the modul is very well. Completed by many ways to explain
the material. They are personal latter, announcement, analytical exposition, and hortatiry exposition.
There are video, and some examples. It’s also consisted of many tasks to check how deep the students
understand about the text. Next, the module will be better if the text is submeted is one file for one
activity. The students will be easy to send the task and the lecture will be aesy to check it.
