Dear sir or madam,
I am writing to inform you about the programmes that I have to choose for national television, and their schedule.
The first programme that I choose is called Environment heroes. It is a programme for kids between the ages of 6 to 13 years old. It aims to educate them on environmental issues and what they can do to take care of our planet. The ideal programme's airing would be at 16:00 on weekdays since the kids are not in school and it is usually a time that they spend doing leisure activities.
The next programme that I consider to be suitable for national television is Time to talk. It is a debate programme with different topics every week. Specialists in different areas and with contrasting points of view are invited to the studio to discuss controversial issues that affect us. They would inform the audience about problems, such as inequality for females regarding salaries, discrimination, economic crisis, changes in education, amongst other topics. As it is a programme that talks about controversial themes that might not be suitable for children, it should be aired at 11:00 pm on weekdays.
I hope that the programmes could be aired and on those timetables. They would have a considerable impact on our audience and our society.
Yours faithfully.
Mark Jhonson.
Explanation:
When we write a formal letter, we should use a formal style, with no contractions or too friendly words. In the first paragraph, we introduce the topic. Then we proceed to talk in detail about it in the next paragraphs. In the last section of the letter, we write a closing paragraph where we cordially thank or ask the reader for something. Finally, we use a closing phrase, in this case, yours faithfully, and our signature.
Answer:
D.
He encourages people to accept change without fear.
Explanation:
Mr. French encouraged all the teachers in the meeting to accept change without fear. This was because of the apprehension that loomed over them as they learned of the new middle school that was to be built by the school board. Most of the teachers including the Principal feared that they might lose their jobs. Mrs. Green believed that the change would affect her since she was not so skilled in the use of computers.
Mr. French was the voice of reason in the room who allayed the fears of the teachers by assuring them that they could adjust to change just as their graduating students adjusted to change in their new schools.
The type of figurative language used in the excerpt is Personification. When the author gives the sun a <em>human characteristic (pitiless sun)</em>, he uses the figurative language Personification to enrich the text.
Personification is a <em>figurative language technique where objects, ideas or animals are given human characteristics or qualities.</em> <em>The sun, for example, can't be pitiless, as well as it can't pity.</em> Only people can pity someone else or something because pity is a feeling or an attitude. Thus, the technique of Personification is used by the author.
That enriches the text because <em>the sun is given movement, action.</em> It seems like its incidence over those who face the drought, in the excerpt, <em>is stronger and intentioned</em> because of its Personification. The author is able to<em> express the character's feelings and impressions</em> without saying it literally. The figurative language creates <em>an image</em> and is able to express more than if the author had used descriptive language. The text adopts a <em>poetic tone</em>, which can cause the reader to <em>perceive feelings and sensations</em>. Hence, the text is enriched by the use of the figurative language Personification.
