Chapter 111~ Rhetorical Moves for BLOGS (in lieu for DLK 100 exam)
Rule #1: Do not use generalisation, be as specific as you can.
disclamier: 他refers to he, 她 refers to she, 它 refers to it, 我 refers to I/me, 你 refers to you, therefore 有人 refers to someone and anyone.
Rule #2: Anticipate what your R(reader) might think or feel after reading.
Rule#3: Use more hedging and boosting, if W(writer) is not sure about anything.
Rule #4: Cite your sources, especially words or phrases that you hear from someone and you have paraphrase it.
Example shown as below:
Steven Fo Kok Hong
is Dixie Tan's best friend for 28th March at least for this day(Dixie, 2008). Definitely, Steven will be very honoured and happy to know this.
If possible, try to stick to that as a format of blogs, in case .....
friends, agree??? =)
