Answer:
Explanation:
At higher levels you may be asked to consider the writer’s opinion or to give your opinion about a text.
Does the type of text help you understand the writer’s aim? e.g. a story is to entertain, a leaflet is to advertise and a report is to inform.
Look for language in the text that indicates the writer’s intention. e.g. ‘We should use ...’, ‘Experts warn us that ...’ to advise.
Look for language in the text that indicates the writer’s opinion. e.g. ‘In my view ...’, ‘I refuse to believe that ...’, etc.
To give your opinion use language such as ‘In my view ...’, ‘I believe ...’, etc.
Do you agree or disagree with things in the text? Explain why with your own words. ‘I agree that ... because ...’.
