Let's review some of the good topic vocabulary from the three media essay that I shared recently.
Remember: these are collocations and phrases, not big or 'academic' words.
- the most powerful of these media
- not the best medium
- a much more effective medium
- the most dynamic of these media
- its ability to communicate information
- the communication of up-to-date information
- reliable sources of information
- research a subject in depth
- news broadcasts
- what the broadcaster is describing
- events as they happen
- events as they take place
- no visual element
- brings us closer to reality
- the body language of a politician
- interrupted by advertisements
- presented in limited depth
- excellent communication tools
- an even greater impact on the viewer
And here's a task for grammar fans. Can you find the following in the essay?
- a noun phrase added on the end of a sentence (after a comma)
- a compound sentence
- a complex sentence
- three different verb tenses
- three pronouns that refer back to nouns
- a relative pronoun
- two examples of passive verbs
- extra information surrounded by commas
- use of a semicolon to link two related sentences
- an extra clause added on the end of a sentence (after a comma)
