Q3

Read through this article.

As you read through, give each paragraph a title.

Question 1: (Text Transformation)

You are the writer of this article.

You are giving a “Careers Talk” to a group of Year 10 students. Write the script for your speech.

In your speech, you should include: i) the benefits of being a travel writer, and ii) some of the drawbacks.

Marks = 20 /15 (one mark for each “bit” of information you include) / 5 (for communication)

Question 2: (Identifying effective phrases)

Identify effective quotes (words or phrases) that the writer uses to add description to their writing. Explain the effect of each of these quotes.

Eg.: “Hellish family vacation” – this quote effectively uses “hellish” to tell the reader that the vacation wasn’t enjoyable. This is a paradox, as vacations are usually thought of as being positive things, whereas hell is a very negative image.

Marks = 10 10 marks for each quote AND explanation that you use.

Question 3: (Compare and Summarise)

Look at this extract from “An Idiot Abroad”. The writer of Passage A and “Karl” are both paid travel writers/presenters.

Summarise the positives of being a travel writer.

Summarise the negative of being a travel writer.

Marks = 20 /15 (one mark for each “bit” of information you include) / 5 (for communication)
