According to the presentation in class for reading 1.2 (background reading), form of factual writing have four types of genre. There are recount, description, procedure and report. They stated that recount is about person communicated by telling story. It was built up around a sequence of action. Spoken recount is personal while writing recount is impersonal. Procedure writing was a general conclusion which explain how things are done and it was a closest type of factual writing to narrative. Report writing is focuses on classes of things rather than individuals and the function of the report genre as a whole is to describe in general terms. Factual writing is not written by creative or imaginative compared to narrative. The developing report writing is focus on classes of thing and some general statement. The specific statement is illustrate the general point. Explanation is focus on judgment or opinion made by the writer. Sexism and factual writing was explained by the different of boys and girls. Boys tend to wrote factual writing based on nature of things while girls based on nurture of things.
As for the presentation in reading 1.3, is about rules and regulations which have six elements. They are declarative, imperative, circumlocution, will, passive and relexicalization. Declarative is all about a statement which is a fact so that the reader cannot argue with it. The giving of information seems a neutral act. Imperative is a sentence which is in the form of command. Circumlocution is more likely to be used ‘the smaller the power distance’ between writers and readers. Will is in signifies not only displacement of time but also a transformation from a statement of authority to an assertion about on impending state. Passive is using third person. It is like imperative, but unlike declarative and involves deletion of agent. Relexicalization is the process of cooling experience in new ways by inventing lexical items.
The problem that encountered to the presentation of reading 1.2 is they cannot come out with a right summary for that reading because they confuse either to write about the convicted killer or the reading itself.
