REFLECTIVE SUMMARY M6 LA1

In this activity, I have learned  about report text.

I have Learned how to analyze some report texts on jobs and construct  report texts to do with jobs and also learn the language to describe jobs and work places to help you construct the report texts.

Report text on jobs are usually posted on job search websites. These texts are made available to public to inform readers/viewers about the name of profession, the tasks they have to do to perform the job, requirements or qualifications to fit the position, and the benefits people will get if they choose career on a particular job.

The key features of  report texts to do with jobs include

Social Function

To describe the way things are, with a reference to a range of natural, man-made, and social phenomena in our environment.

Generic Structure

·         General Classification: tells what the phenomenon under discussion is.

·         Description: tells what the phenomenon under discussion is like in terms of:

·         Parts (and their functions)

·         Qualities

·         Habits or behaviours, if living; uses, if non-natural

Significant Lexico-grammatical Features

·         Focus on generic participants

·          Use of relational processes to state what is and that which it is

·         Use of simple present tense (unless extinct)

·         No temporal sequence

What I like most about this activity is  classify general fact about jobs.

What I need to improve/learn more is  comparing the text structure of report tex, comparing the lexico-grammatical features of report texts, and constructing some report texts related to jobs.
