Text Structure Analysis

1.Parents who want to clone a child, either to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace

that child;

2.Adults who for a variety of reasons might want to clone themselves.

Structured Writing

XV.

What should we do in order to become successful learners? The following are some suggestions.

Concentrating. Good learners allow no interruptions in their study time. Once they set to study, they don’t answer phone calls, watch TV, or read newspapers.

Studying everywhere. Good learners are good at studying everywhere. For example, they practice speaking English to themselves when waiting for a meeting to start or for the bus to come. Some of them stick a vocabulary list on their bathroom wall and learn a new word every day while brushing their teeth.

Taking notes. Good learners divide a page into two parts: Write notes on the right and put down the main ideas on the left. At the end of each class, they write a few sentences about the lesson’s main points.

Section B

Reading Skills

I.

1. The title is actually a question. By using a question as a title, the writer tries to attract the readers’attention. Obviously, it’s about the possibility or legality of human cloning. The writer will give us a thorough analysis as to who might take advantage of human cloning.

2. The language is formal and serious. Besides, it is emotional. The evidence for this is the repeated employment of rhetorical questions.

3. Altogether, there are seven questions, including the one in the title. Of the seven, four are rhetorical questions. They appear respectively at the end of Paragraph 2, Paragraph 3, Paragraph 4, and at the beginning of Paragraph 6.

4. Rhetorical questions are mainly intended to stir up the readers’ emotions, to put them off guard, making them ready to accept the writer’s opinion. Rhetorically, this is called emotional appeal. By using rhetorical questions four times, the writer of this text is appealing to the readers to accept the idea “Don’t just say no to human cloning”. With all the above in view, we can see that the text is persuasive.
