REFLECTION

I have enhanced my comprehension of the initial news, editorial, and feature courses. Upon revisiting the materials presented by the lecturer, I now grasp the process of Choosing Captivating EFL News-Editorial Topics and Conducting Interviews more thoroughly. Furthermore, delving into editorials has deepened my understanding, particularly in applying the given assignments.

SUMMARY

The editorial discussing children and their use of social media exhibits notable strengths, such as a clearly articulated position and argument, compelling language, and an engaging approach to the reader. However, there are areas that could be enhanced, including improving the overall coherence of the argument, employing a more diverse set of persuasive techniques, addressing potential counterarguments, and refining the thesis statement for increased impact. Regarding the organization of ideas, the introduction is commendable, as it highlights concerns and underscores the importance of collaboration between parents and schools. While the body paragraphs present coherent ideas, there is room for improvement in terms of cohesion, with minor disruptions in the logical progression. Although the conclusion effectively summarizes the main points, it could create a more lasting impression. In summary, the editorial effectively outlines the risks of social media for children but could benefit from refinements to bolster its persuasive effectiveness.
