Dear all,
The text on the right is the first reading text in your Effective Academic Writing Book, p. 89.
I've written a small vocabulary task for you. I scanned the text and processed it on the LEXTUTOR website to see its lexical frequency profile (LFP). You will see the LFP at the bottom of the text.
When speakin/ writing about a topic, it is important to have the related vocabulary and terms about that particular topic. This activity will help you to highlight the topic-related vocabulary in the text, so that when you want to express your views about the topic, you will be able to use the necessary vocabulary.
Please download the text, get a printout, and do the task. The task requires you to scan the LFP first and then the text and locate the words and phrases that could go under each category. You can use the last category to add in the other related words you think might be useful when writing or speaking about the topic.
Tomorrow in the class, we will discuss the topic: INTERNET THEFT and get your ideas about the issue of whether such people who commit Internet movie/music/etc. theft should be penalized or not.
Thank you and see you tomorrow in the class. (If you get a printout of the task sheet, please bring it along)
