Question 2

    The use of form is presented as a narrative text, in the ways how it tells a story throughout the whole entire text, similar to a story. The author wrote this as a narrative because he wrote a book, due to the fact of how it is reflecting back to his past. It describes the footer at the end of the text such as ‘Q’ and gives a definition at the bottom, which is typical for a book to have that. The text uses words such as ‘I’ and ‘We’, which can be correlated and be used as a first person point of view.      The use of structure in the text can be used as a conversational text, because it went from a narrative, by ending the last sentence in paragraph two, by describing or telling a story, to a coversational, in the beginning of paragraph three with where they are talking or is saying quotes.

Paper 1, Question 1

a) You are a journalist at the Olympic 100 metres final which Usain Bolt describes in the extract.      At the Olympics sprinters competed viciously against one another in the 100-metre dash. There was a wide range of athletes including Asafa Powell (former 100-metre World Record Holder) , Richard Thompson, Usain Bolt, and many others. As soon as the race starts, Richard Thompson is off to a great start, leading the pack.      Bolt tripped on his right side, but quickly came right back up and ran again. He quickly gained momentum and passed Thompson. Around 75-80 metres, he was looking over his shoulder, and it was anaomolous due to the fact that Asafa wasn't in the picture.       Bolt, just ten meters away from the cross line, put his hands in the air, thumping his fists to his chest repeatedly, knowing that he couldn't find Asafa in front of him. No one did surpass him. Just like that, Usain Bolt crossed the finished line, and Bolt was...
