My reflections

My reflections on the provided material for selecting topics and crafting news feature articles in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing have been insightful and inspiring. In this material we learn about how to make opinion and what we should an editorial do with many type criticize or attack, defend, endorse, compliment, instigate, entertain, and predict. The opinion should be written with the structure (Introduction, Body, and Conclusion). The editorial should be written in third person and should be forceful, never condescending or preachy. Because the editorial is the official stance (position) of the newspaper, any reference to the person writing the editorial would be in appropriate. Avoid phrases such as in my opinion or I think. Some publications allow the use of we,as in “We believe the time for a change is here.” However, the statement might be stronger to say “The Courier staff believes it is time for a change.”

 

Description

The provided material offers a opinion/editorial pages is crucial that the editorial show evidence that the writer understands the issue, that he or she is aware of all sides of the question and understands why the different sides feel the way they do.

Interpretation

The outlined suggestions provide a rich framework for EFL learners to give opinion. The material emphasizes the importance of choosing subjects that align with the learners' interests and language proficiency. Additionally, make every effort to base the opinions they publish on established fact so that the readers will understand that the opinions on these pages are well-researched.

Outcome

By selecting a single topic of interest from the provided list and conducting thorough research, interviews, and data collection, EFL learners can use expression of a newspaper’s “feelings’, generally decided by a polling of the staff or of the newspaper’s editorial board.

 

My Summary frames

In summary, the material presents opinion/editorial pages (op/edit) are where ideas come together. The best opinion pages are lively, controversial, informative and open for all types of ideas to be discussed.This section of the newspaper is the voice of the community, or, as in the case ofscholastic newspapers, the voice of the student body. It is where issues are debated,complicated ideas are explained, policies are criticized or praised. It should serve as thecatalyst for discussion among students about issues that are important to them.
