Answering Section B

Remember, whatever topics come up in the 'Language Issues' section, you just have to be very formulaic about how you answer it.

You will be given a source which will be quite short that you have to analyse for about 2 paragraphs, then you have to write about 5-7 paragraphs on your wider reading or case studies.

This formula will never change so, provided you know theories, and provided you revise lots of case studies you should be fine.

You should have a heck of a lot of case studies for power already in your folders. These include the power booklet I gave you (featuring the vet in all those different situations), the police transcript, two courtroom transcripts, the religious ceremony notes we discussed in class, George W Bush appearing on Irish TV, two schoolroom transcripts, Alan Sugar in the boardroom, various different adverts we have looked at, as well as many of the Section A transcripts we have looked at in recent weeks such as the Pharmacy/Monty Python transcripts. You really should not be struggling for material here.

When it comes to STD/NSTD, I will send out a load of case studies by EMAIL tomorrow. These will not be new to you as you had almost all of them in Year 1, but it may be you have forgotten some of them.

Stay tuned.
