19、】 Audience Awareness of Writing Good morning, everyone. Before you write something, you need to have a clear idea of the topic, the audience, and the purpose of your writing. In this lecture, well concentrate on one of those elements, the audience. This is a very important aspect for writing. The te

20、rm audience usually refers to viewers of movies and TV shows and listeners of radio programs. Here we expand it to include readers of written materials in discussions of writing activities. Why is this concept so important?(1)As shown in the example in our book, the same topic, when written to diffe

21、rent audiences, can have very different content, structure, style, etc. Thus, the importance of a keen awareness of your audience throughout the writing process can not be overemphasized. Audiences can be examined from three different perspectives: 1. your social relations to your audience: 2. your

22、audiences knowledge about your subject: 3. your audiences attitudes or viewpoints to the subject and your position in the writing. Lets discuss them one by one. Now, the first point, analyze your audience in terms of your social relations. Whenever you write, you are interacting with other members o

23、f the society. Are you writing to a friend of yours? To a college student? To the director of your business firm? To the admission office of an American college?(2)In each situation, you have a different social relationship with your audience and this relation has a definite impact on the shape of y

24、our writing. No one in his or her right mind would write a letter of application to the dean of the graduate school as if the dean was one of his or her buddies. (3)The second point, analyze your audience in terms of their knowledge of the subject you are writing about. This analysis is valuable par

25、ticularly in informative and explanatory writing. Suppose you are writing a paper comparing the Mid-autumn Festival and Thanksgiving. How much knowledge would you assume your American readers already have about the Chinese holiday and how much about their own? Obviously,very little about the former

26、and a whole lot about the latter. In such a paper, you want to take care not to bore your readers to death by telling them what they already know while leaving them tantalizingly unsatisfied about what they are so eager to learn.(4)The emphasis here should be to show the striking differences and sub

27、tle parallels rather than to give exhaustively detailed information on each holiday. Now, the third point, analyze your audience in terms of their attitudes or viewpoints to the subject and your position in the writing.(5)This analysis is vitally important in writing persuasive or argumentative essa

28、ys, which is much more complex and challenging. In a persuasive essay you present reasons and arguments to convince your readers that they should accept a belief or to take a position or a specific action. For persuasive or argumentative writings, you can classify audiences into three groups: those

29、who agree, those who are neutral or undecided, and those who disagree. (6 -1)When writing to an audience who already sees eye to eye with you about a controversial issue, is there much you need to do? Not much. If you are addressing an audience who already shares your view about developing and maint

30、aining a mature and constructive relationship between China and the United States in the 21st century,(7)all you need to do is repeat why such a relationship is in the vital interests of both countries and of the whole world. (6-2)(8-l)When writing to audiences who are neutral or undecided, you have

31、 the most to do and can hope to achieve a lot. Say you want to propose that a new financial aid system be established to help those bright students in rural and leas prosperous areas of the country. You are concerned that with todays new tuition policy and practice, those students will be priced out

32、 of a chance for the high education they deserve so much.(9)Some people may be undecided because they have some doubts and concerns: Where does the money needed for such an aid come from? What are the specific standards whereby to award scholarships? Are there more fair and efficient alternative sol

33、utions? Once you find out why your audiences are undecided, you need to address their doubts and concerns as directly and fully as possible.(8-2)You have a fairly good chance of winning them over when their questions are answered satisfactorily. (6-3)And audiences who disagree are the most difficult

34、 to write to. Different people disagree with you for different reasons. Some of them may have already given the issue a thought and have already made a choice: therefore, it is extremely difficult to change their minds. Others who disagree may not have had the time to think it over seriously.(10)The

35、re are two main possible reasons why your audiences may disagree with you: 1)because they dont have the “facts“ or because they look at the same “facts“ differently: 2)because they are influenced by their personal opinion, prejudice, and political or religious beliefs. Once you have found out why th

36、ey disagree, you can decide what is the best approach to such audiences. If it is a lack of information, your job is to give them the relevant historical as well as up-to-date information as accurately as possible. If it is for personal, political and religious reasons, you need to recognize them, u

37、nderstand them, and address them accordingly. Now, we can see that audience awareness is so crucial to the success of your writing. And in the next lecture, well discuss the writing purpose and your role in the writing. Thank you for your attention! 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 depend on 【试题解析】 本题考查重要细节。根据句 (
