Three common purposes of writing are: 1) to inform, 2) to persuade or 3) to entertain.Reading effectively means recognizing the authors purposewhich

38、 may not always be as easy as it sounds, especially when youre reading in a foreign language. Writers sometimes disguise their aims: A text that appears to be factual information may really be full of emotional appeals meant to persuade you of the writers point of view; or an apparently serious piec

39、e of persuasion may in fact be a humorous text intended mainly to amuse you. There are also times when the question of whether a writer is serious may depend largely on each readers individual philosophy.However, there are some clues that effective readers can watch for to help them identify what ki

40、nd of writing theyre dealing with:1. Informational writing features facts and evidence, not opinions or value judgments. It often contains dates, statistics or other figures, and/or quotes from experts or witnesses. Depending on the subject, the language may include technical jargon, but the vocabul

41、ary and sentence structure are often quite simple.2. Persuasive writing features emotional appeals: opinions and arguments (which may be presented as if they were facts, so be careful!); rhetorical questions; evaluating language (good/bad, right/wrong, horrifying/wonderful, etc.) and/or judgmental l

42、anguage (must, should, had better, etc.).3. Texts written mainly to entertain can, of course, be very variedbut they often use rather informal language, simple sentence structure, dialogs, puns and/or figures of speech.I. 2 ExamplesLets have a look at an analysis of Passage A and then identify the w

Besides, a rose has always been a symbol of love,

44、passion, or affection.However, when you come to the first paragraph and have gone through it, you know your guess is rejected as it talks about Valentines Day, the growing, sales and distributions of roses. You may also notice that the language in the paragraph is simple in diction and structure.Sec

45、ond, when you have read the whole article, you notice that the numbers in it are statistics (mainly prices) and dates. Besides, the quotes are from a director, a rose customer and a rose grower. All these indicate they are facts instead of opinions.Third, as the text is featured by statistics, dates
