Second Week: Audience and Purpose

In the second week of English Writing Skills class, we have learnt who are our audience and what the purpose when we are writing. Firstly, we have learnt the definition of audience and identify our audience like their age, gender, language, income, status, race and ethnicity. Other than that, we not only learn the definition of purpose but also identify purpose of writing, for example, describe, entertain, explain and persuade. Lastly, we have learnt Rhetorical Triangle of writing. In Rhetorical Triangle, we need to focus on three things which are Writer(Ethos), Audience(Pathos) and Context(Logos).

That’s what I learnt on second week of Intensive English Class. A writer need to definite his/her purpose, audience, form and style in his/her writing. In the class, our lecturer, Ms.Thinessa gave us a test and activity on this week tutorial class. This can make us more understand the chapter that we learnt on second week. Being a writer is not easy. Writing this blog is also one of the difficult things for me but this is one of the leaning process!

Thank for reading my blog and have a nice day!
