Unit 2
Colloquial and slang
Suggested answers to the questions
The grotesqueness of this sentence lies in the incongruity of style. The word bomb is a slang expression that is too casual to go with the subject, and the sentence can be revised into: The violin virtuoso’s performance on the cello was a big failure.
The revised short paragraph: The author has made a lifetime’s study of film history, and the knowledge she has accumulated is tempered by a fine sense of judgment. She devotes a whole chapter to an analysis of horror films. These films, according to her, do much more than just frighten us; they enable us to forget our worries.
Style and audience
Suggested answers to the questions
The expected reader of Excerpt 1 is a pal of the person who leaves the note, so the language is colloquial.
The reader of Excerpt 2 does not have an intimate relationship with the writer of the note. They might be business associates, for example. The language stands somewhere between formal and informal but more on the formal side.
Reference for the Classroom Activities
1.If there is an accident or incident that may be covered by this policy,
notify us in writing as soon as possible. Y ou can give tis notice to any of our authorized agents.
2.(omitted)
3.The first excerpt is colloquial and the two persons may be friends or
colleagues.
The second excerpt is rather formal and the two persons may be colleagues.
The third is the most formal. Actually it is taken from a report and the writer may be the head of the department.
Point of view
Revised version 1
When people read about a natural disaster in another country, it hardly affects them. Of course, they feel bad and upset when people get killed. But as these disasters happen thousands of miles away from them and because they don’t affect their own life, they are not traumatized by them. If a flood killed their own close friends, they would be more emotionally upset.
Revised version 2
When we read about a natural disaster in another country, it hardly affects us. Of course, we feel bad and upset when people get killed. But as these disasters happen thousands of miles away from us and because they don’t affect our own life, we are not traumatized by them. If a flood killed our close friends, we would be more emotionally upset.
Notice while the first version is comfortable and respectable, the second one involves the audience more effectively and directly because of the use of the pronoun we. The pronoun you can also achieve the same effect in this paragraph.
