Academic Discussion Tone
•
Express ideas in personal terms
•
React personally and emotionally to other people’s comments
•
Take criticism personally
•
Make personal statements
•
State certainties
•
State opinions as facts
Transformations.
•
“I think privacy laws are too strict and everyone should take personal
responsibility.”
•
“Your opinión’s just not correct, and I think it’s just ridiculous!”
•
“That’s not fair!”
•
“I disagree with you for many reasons.”
•
People don’t care enough about their privacy.”
•
People use social media because they want to improve their social
networks. Companies use it to sell more products.
Express ideas in impersonal terms
•
“I think privacy laws are too strict and everyone should take personal
responsibility.”
Many/some people would argue that…
React less personally and emotionally to other
people’s comments
•
“Your opinión’s just not correct, and I think it’s just ridiculous!”
I think many people would say that’s probably not usualy the
case. It does seem a bit optimisitc/unrealistic/impractical
Deflect rather than react to criticism
•
“That’s not fair!”
I wouldn
’t put it like that.
Avoid personal statements
•
“I disagree with you for many reasons.”
Many people would argue…
I think it’s difficult to argue that.
Qualify certainties
•
“People don’t care enough about their privacy.”
There’s a very good argument/case to be made that
people don’t care enough about their privacy
Avoid stating opinions as facts
•
People use social media because they want to improve their social
networks. Companies use it to sell more products.
I’d argue people use…
You/We can argue that people use…
Conversion
•
Now take the sample essay from Moodle
