Write only one comparative analytical paragraph on the alcohol three way comparison question. Your single paragraph shoud compare one of the eight comparative topics we have discussed and listed in class.
- Some work submitted did not do the task actually set but wrote genreal introductory statements, introducing the three texts, summarising the content and generally commenting on audience, purpose and genre. There was very limited analysis in these answers.
- Although the three texts were linked by the topic of alcohol a topic sentence should be more detailed and specific and state clearly that the three texts all express different perspectives and attitudes to irresponsible alcoholic consumption.
- It's vital that you adopt a formal academic register when writing academic work. You must avoid using cliches, slang or literary techniques - such as imagery. All these features were found in this batch of homework.
- Be concise. Try and include a lot of detail with the shortest number of words you can. One way of doing this is to use listing or modify nouns with relevant technical terms.
- Be focussed on one single point in your analytical comparative paragraph. For this homework there was no need to write a whole essay in a paragraph
