Task 1: analyze a business article by answering these questions
1. What’s the headline? How does it help you predict the content and
viewpoint of the article?
2. What is the purpose of the article (to report conditions of a company, new
product, trends in the stock market, experts’ opinion on economic
conditions and so on)
3. What is the main idea of the article?
4. Does the article make a prediction about the future? If so, what is the
prediction?
5. Does the article give the reader any advice? If so, what is it?
Task 2: the Language of Business
Like all areas, business uses its own special vocabulary. To understand
business articles, you need to know terms such as recession, bonds, stocks,
futures, bull market. Read two or three business articles. Write down at least five
sentences that include words you don’t know and underline the words. Make
sure you can define the terms. Research the terms that are unknown/
IV. Reading movie reviews
Most of us love to go to the movies — but if there are many movies in
town to choose from, the choice can be difficult. Movie reviewers like to help
with that choice. Movie reviews are written, not to tell you what to see, but to
help you decide whether or not you would like to see a certain film. Movie
critics offer their opinions on the qualities of a particular movie. Sometimes
their reviews are positive and other times they are negative. Different reviewers
may have very different opinions about the same movie. What one movie
reviewer finds entertaining, another may find disappointing.
Besides offering their opinions, movie critics also tell a little about the
story line to catch our interest and perhaps encourage us to venture to the
theatres to see the movies for themselves.
Most reviews include certain kinds of information and to be organised in
similar ways. Knowing what to expect can help you get the facts you need and
understand the writer's opinions. Here's what you can expect in a typical movie review.
