REFLECTION ON UNIT 7.

REFLECTION ON UNIT 7.

Producing and Evaluating Critical Writing: Part 1.

As there is no group who presents Unit 6, let us proceed to Unit 7.This unit was presented by me myself Zahidah, Mariam Aisyah and Amira Syafinaz. As presenters, we tried to overcome our understanding through this unit. Basically, Unit 7 is the start of stage two of the course. The format of the units changes at this point.

Unit 7 also introduces us about the models of critical reviews and the commentary part which require greater autonomy and the text are more to academic style. For the first place, it is quite difficult for us to differentiate the changes as we cannot understand the new format. Then, I realized that this new format give authority to the readers to construct any articles that they read. To put it more simply, the readers are free to give their own opinion and comment.

Based on my understanding of the new format, in critical review, for example we can combine the topic and content in one paragraph. The same goes to sources and audience. It is highly likely writing an essay. When our friend gives his or her comment in the commentary part, he or she simply tries to mention or make a statement. They can support or argue on the critical review which has been written before.

This unit only provides one article that the readers need to construct. The article is about ‘Dieting’. Based on my opinion, it is easy to understand the article as it comes with many subtopics which make it easy for the readers to construct it. Furthermore, topic on dieting is a usual topic which had been discussed many times by the public. I can claim that this topic is very interesting and famous topic among the females especially.
