I choose to do a task on the effect of technology on language;
specifically I choose to use texting. So I choose several articles by one of
the experts of this field, David Crystal. At least one, in this case, ur a gd
mn mr gum ;-) became my primary source due to its presences in a published magazine.
It had to be in such a magazine because I choose to write two letters to the
editor. I choose this format because it granted me the most freedom with regard
content. I felt like it would be a good idea to show varying levels of
understanding on the topic, thus I choose one to be from a poorly educated
mother in Ohio, worrying about the education of her sons. I also wrote a letter
as an English professor who has of experience with this first hand. But in
order for it to be a letter to the editor it has had to be in reference to a
particular document with many opinions and ways to fix the problem. My hope was
to convey a side less seen in this debate. I wanted to provide some new ways of
looking at text speak. And I think I did
so rather well.
Good effort, however there are few grammatical errors such as 'regard content' when it should be with 'regard to content.' You might also want to rephrase the sentence 'to convey a side less seen in this debate' as i know what you're getting at but you could better communicate it. Finally your conclusion was somewhat casual and i would recommend not reflecting on your task and leave that part to the Examiner ;)
