The writer does this by portraying safaris as a routine through the use of the phrase “ fairly structured days of safari game drives and bush routines” which is then contrasted with the carefree feeling associated with beaches through phrases such as “you’re free to just relax and do nothing but sip long, tall drinks and watch the exotic Arab dhows sail idly by”. The use of the idiom “perfect happy ending” makes the readers believe that a visit to Kenya is like a fairytale that they must go to, making the place sound surreal…… RESOURCE IS SPECIFICALLY TAILORED FOR CAIE AS 9093 SYLLABUS.

The guide’s main objective is to persuade the audience to take up birdwatching by listing its numerous benefits, while also having the secondary purpose of advising the reader on the steps to start birdwatching to make the process seem easy and seamless. However, the speech aims to discourage the audience from pursuing birdwatching by critically questioning the worthiness of the hobby as well as shedding light on its disadvantages… For online tutoring contact: septembertune2022@gmail.com [Experienced Cambridge and IB Tutor]

This highlights to the reader from the outset that Iceland is a diverse landscape, thereby emphasising the beauty of the country. A further purpose of the text is to uncover my thoughts and feelings as I experienced the warmth of the country.

This resource contains a sample answer for the **TEXT ANALYSIS **question on Paper 1 of the CIE AS English Language (9093) syllabus. The text being analysed is: An extract from the invesigative journalism report titled ‘Not Until A Boy Died’ by Patricia Callahan which appeared in the May / June 2016 paper. This Resource includes: QUESTION & EXTRACT ANNOTATIONS OF THE EXTRACT SAMPLE TEXT ANALYSIS OF 900 WORDS FOCUSING ON FORM, STRUCTURE & LANGAUGE Excerpt from the text analysis response: The text is an investigative report whose purpose is to expose the “myopic and docile approach” of the CPSC in regulating toys that lead to the “death and injury” of various children. This is directly stated in the nut - graph paragraph of the article which follows the lead, thus adhering to the conventions of a typical news report by contextualising and clearly indicating the purpose of the text. The investigative report is primarily aimed at parents of young children to caution them about the perils of hazardous products like Magnetix, however it can also be read by members of the civil society in general since it directly implicates and criticises a federal agency (CPSC) that is answerable and accountable to the general public. At the beginning of the text, the writer uses an anecdotal lead to provide intricate details of Sharon Grigsby’s case. Since Sharon Grigsby and her students are people like the general audience (members of civil society), the writer wants the reader to immediately connect to the story and help them form a clear picture of their plight, which renders the story extremely relatable, hence ensuring that the reader is receptive to the whole story and the hard factual analysis presented below… For online tutoring contact: septembertune2022@gmail.com Experienced Cambridge & IB Tutor
