UNIT 5

AUDIENCE AND IMPACT: WHO IS THE AUDIENCE? WHAT IMPACT DOES THE TEXT HAVE ON THE AUDIENCE?

Through this unit, it will cover on the intended audience and the impact goes to the reader. This unit is focusing more on how to identify the audience based on the reading and the language used. First and foremost in reading 5.1 which is the ‘Australia’s Methadone Madness’ it tells the story that to assist the heroin addicts in Australia. However, the article is a little bit confusing and complicated. Next, in reading 5.2 from the article ‘Out of Puff’ it is about the smoking habits that hard to resist not only for men but even for women too. The audience and the impact can be identified based on the types of exposition which are mentioned in reading 5.3 simultaneously about the differences on type of analytical and hortatory exposition. The reading gives many examples on analytical and hortatory exposition texts. However, after skimming further in the next reading, it makes the reader become anxious about the content all together. Although, there have adequate amounts of examples but it still lead to confusion because it contains too many parts and sections.
