Exam-style question
Try this first
Describe one reading, analysis, writing, and spoken-language response or mechanism that helps you analyse how audiences are addressed and positioned..
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- A high-scoring response should include precise scientific terminology, a clear sequence of ideas, and explicit reference to Textual shaping and representation.
Explanation
Why this works
Anchor the response in the named text type. This answer should show how the response meets the learning objective: Analyse how audiences are addressed and positioned.
In Textual variations and representations, the strongest explanation links the answer to Textual shaping and representation, uses accurate linguistic terminology, and makes the evidence serve a clear analytical purpose. If the question is exam-style, the student should move beyond naming a feature by explaining how genre convention works in an opinion article whose register, structure and stance are shaped by audience.
That means connecting language choice to meaning, context, representation, audience, genre, mode or method as appropriate. The conclusion should not be a personal opinion; it should be a supported judgement about how the language data operates in relation to the task.
