What’s the link?2010: “students who attempted to work laboriously through every sentence found the task difficult. Students needed to choose which parts of the material they would use to explore the way in which language was being used.”
2010: “Some responses were just simple summaries or lists of the techniques used, with little development. These pieces did not score well as they did not fulfil the task.”
2011: In stronger responses, strategic selection, together with well-developed précis skills, allowed students to demonstrate their language analysis skills.

Analysing language
• Joe Bloggs challenges the audience with the question: “Are we all stupid?” This challenge confronts us with a black and white choice - we can either accept that we are stupid, or think that we are smart by agreeing with Bloggs’ argument.

Analysing visuals
We live in an age which has yet to work out whether privacy still exists, or if it does, what it is useful for. We can be physically tracked by corporations and governments through our mobile phones, while our "meditations" and "very designs" can be discovered by Google and others from our emails and online search histories.Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, helpfully, if unwittingly, encapsulated the death of personal privacy this way: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." I've heard that before, word for word, from members of East Germany's secret police, the Stasi.
