For reflection in unit 5, the articles focus on the skills of audience and impact. For these focus skills, there are three different articles. The practice text is in reading 5.1, ‘Australia’s methadone madness’. Reading 5.3, Martin (1987) ‘Types of exposition’, and reading 5.4, Lee (1992) ‘Metaphor’ are the backgrounds reading for this particular unit.
For practice text which is, ‘Australia’s methadone madness’, basically, the article is about the misuse of methadone drug. It suppose to be a good drug to help heroin addict, but turn to be misused by the addicts. The writer tries to explain that the audience should know about the information given as it will give the impact that methadone usage is getting severe among addicts.
In reading 5.3, ‘Types of exposition “persuading that” and “persuading to”,’ the article is mainly tells the audience about the definition of exposition. Basically exposition is divided to two types which are analytical and hortatory expositions. Analytical is an exposition which force the audience to believe something is true, while hortatory exposition is one which persuades audience to do something. Both types of exposition,lead to different impact.
In reading 5.4, ‘Metaphor’, Lee trying to say that in certain circumstances, there are words which we cannot deliver just like that, so we are using metaphor as substance. Metaphor also is not only a device for literature usage but it makes the communication easier throughout the language. Metaphor in nukespeak is how we use a word in a situation and wanted others to accept it. Overall I understood those three articles,although reading 5.3, 'Types of exposition' seems hard to understand at first.
