At this week we learned about positioning based on Please; let me go to your school article. Today Miss Syida explains briefly about this as last week we can’t manage to do this because run of time. We also learned argument and evidence: What is the argument and what evidence support it? based on the article entitled Body Language that Speaks to Muggers. From this article also we go through to perspective.
It is our turn to make the presentation this week with the topic “Type of exposition”. Based on dictionary exposition means an account and explanation. Exposition can divide by two which is hortatory exposition and analytical exposition. Hortatory means persuade to which is to give some action to what they read. Actually hortatory can be found at newspaper, speech and magazine. Analytical exposition means persuade that and for the clear meaning it is some judgment is correct and it can be found regularly in essay. The function of exposition is to explain and interpret. Besides, there are 4 main ways to show reasoning in exposition such as verb, preposition, conjunction and noun. Without this ways we can’t make a clear exposition.
Liyana explain us about personality in exposition with exposition and metaphor. Personality can be expressed through attitude and feelings. For the hortatory there have feeling while for analytical don’t. But both of them have attitude to express. Exposition and metaphor can be seen when they said government is like parents because government need to handle a lots of things. However, the metaphor is not directly seen in the text.
I hope both of us make a good presentation and all the friends understand about it.

week 4
This week we discuss about 3 topics and we started the presentation with reading 4.4, “STASTICS”. Statistics means to inform about any phenomenon or activity expressed in rhetorical form. The importance of statistic in human affair is obvious from our tendency to associate ‘facts’ closely with ‘figures’. Besides there have 4 common statistic slips which is unqualified averages, fallacious sampling, percentages unaccompanied by actual numbers and misleading presentation. This topic presented by Fahmy and Subhi.
After that, we continued the presentation again with reading 4.3 “WHAT IS EVIDENCE”. It is presented by Fazlihazwah and Bazilah who is very fastest person in talking.Oh God!! It’s really hard for me to catch up all the words that they saying until Miss Syida ask them to talk more slowly. For the first, they discuss about evidence’s mean. Evidence means the fact, objects that make you believe something is true while the arguments means a reasons or set of reasons that somebody uses to shown that something is true. There also have two types of evidence such as tangible evidence eye witness evidence. To make this topic more clearly, both of them provide and tell us the story about the famous case of kidnapping of the infant son of Charles Lindbergh. By this story, we can identify what is evidence, tangible evidence and eye witness evidence. I would like to thank to Fazli and Bazilah because their explanation make me understand this topic very well. As conclusion, “Don’t ever trust to what you heard, see and read.”
For the last presentation is reading 4.5, “CROOKED AND FALLICIOUS THINKING”. Noor and P-nut have done a good job in this presentation. One of the most common forms of fallacious and crooked thinking is the use of the transfer device. However, a crooked thinker may give the impression that he is saying something meaningful and logical when he is in fact not proving anything. He is simply drawing his conclusion from a premise which is it dependent on what is asserted in the conclusion. For the false analogy, it is used to support an argument in fact prove nothing. Equivocation is fallacy arises because some of the words used in argument maybe ambiguous. To sum up, crooked and fallacious thinking is something interesting to discuss.
Last but no least, this week we learn briefly to make a correct positioning in our coming portfolio.

week 3
In previous class, we learned reading 3.3 and 3.4.First of all, Rozaida and Atikah presented reading 3.3, A Linguistic Perspective. According text, linguistic perspective means combination of signs that have various meaning for different group of people. We also learned how to identify which one report or discussion. A discussion is a written genre typically used to present a reasoned while a report is a standard genre in the sciences and social sciences. From them, we know that even a simple text able to manipulate and influence the reader and the text that combines with pictures help the readers understanding.
The next presentation is presented by Fatihah and Hayat with the topic Speech and Speakers. The first subtopic we learned is discourse and readers. Discourse means serious conversation, modes of talking and sexism. They provide examples to different ship between discourse and readers which is two types of women in office.
Besides, we also learned about language and language user. Language is a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds of conventional symbols. Other means by language is considered to be extremely human mode of communication. Reading position is constructing by discourses which provide instructions about how to read a text. Lastly, we know that speaker is not individual or non social. Through the speaker, people will learn an experience using language.
