Read all about it!

I know you guys are back for your loooong holiday! I hope you all arrived in your hometown in one piece and return in one piece :) It is the best time to be with family and friends. I hate to spoil your mood....but what to do! Your study comes first right?

This week we looked at technical description and we did some mind-boggling activity. It was interesting yet complicated. So in order to make you understand about technical description clearly, I would like you to read an article on any product and share what you have read here. What you can comment on is:

i. the type of language used to describe the product
ii. the way the writer organizes the article (i.e first he talks about the cord, then the body and then the functions etc.)

Please indicate where you got the article from. If it is online, give me the url. PLEASE do not copy and paste the article into this blog. And remember when you return from your break you are going to present what we have discussed earlier...also don't forget the outline that should come with the presentation!

Happy holidays!

    The language used was of course sharp and clear. By not using too many complicated terms than commoners wouldn't understand, the writer aims to portray his points as simple as it can be, without losing important details.


    The organization was good as well. Besides having sub-titles to explain many information regarding the product, the author seperates each model using a table for easy comparison.

    A compact list of overview of the system is also available in the right panel for readers who do not wish to read the full article.

  7. i've read an article about iPhone 3GS at http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-3gs-32gb/4505-6452_7-33674173.html?tag=centerColumnArea2.1

    the introduction written on the article is about the evolutionary of an iPhone, from the first model to the latest model which is iPhone GS. it also explain about its additional features which are batter from the previous model, such as faster processing and network speeds, extended battery life and more memory.

    the organization of that article is quite good. because at the beginning of the article, the editor describe about the addition features which can attract the reader to read more about the article. the article describes almost each of the feature which the phone has. it include design and interface,Camera,Video recording or even about the Call quality and reception.

  11. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/stomach-pain-after-eating.html

    Stomach pain after eating,a pain that I always got after eating,which also common to other people.

    Their must be a various reason why this can be happen,some of it is overeating where it can make us feel tired and sleepy.

    But,stomach pain and other problem experienced after eating can be the symptom of a disease.One of the article content is about appendicitis,a pain after eating at a lower right side abdominal.

    So,the best thing to ensure the proper digestion of food is walking exercise after take a meal.

  12. The article that i found is talk at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer

    the type of language is little bit hard 4 me.. but by use the informations in sub-topic,
    it can be easy..

    the writer arranged properly while organized that article..
    first,the writer give the
    meaning of computer..

    Then,the writer talk about the hisory of the modern computer begins with two separate technologies—automated calculation and programmability—but no single device can be identified as the earliest computer,partly because of the inconsistent application of that term..

    there also have the stored program architecture,the computer function and the part of control unit..

    The article is about Nokia N97 which has been keenly awaited since its worldwide introduction late last year as it was touted to be the next big thing in the mobile market by many ­observers.

    This phone is laden with features and it is bound to be a Herculean task to condense all the features and ­functions in one sitting so there is little space to waste.

    This phone officials call a “sliding-tilt” phone,you push one side forward and it tilts up to give you that mini-desktop look and feel, which I personally think is excellent for all kinds of situations.

    It is also built for the Internet,where users are able to put their widgets in specific “rows” and there are around five rows in total. It was really useful having a link to online news and social networking sites.

  18. The language used was simple and easy to understand. Variable photos of examples are shown clearly.

    Apple ipod brand is designed,marketed and launched on October 23,2001.

    Ipod Classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory to enable their smaller size.

    Ipods can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model.

  20. "What you can comment on is:

    i. the type of language used to describe the product
    ii. the way the writer organizes the article (i.e first he talks about the cord, then the body and then the functions etc.)

    Please indicate where you got the article from." Said Guru.

    Then..

    I say, "before i continue on the question asked by Guru, let me first tell you what is the article about. It is actually an overview of a full-touch smart phone, from HTC. It is known as HTC-Magic. The one and only smart phones available on market today with an Android Operating System(OS) inside.

    Android is an OS developed to run in a Linux kernel, an operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems. Just like the well-known windows operating system such as Windows Mobile for smart phones and Windows 95, 98, 2000, Xp, Vista and the new-released Windows 7.

    Okay, for the 1st question.. The language used.. Hm.. The language used is a simple English with only a few of modern technological terms such as "synchronization, powerhouse, and etc..."

    Then, we'll proceed to the 2nd one, how the writer organizes the article. hmm.. They start with a simple introduction of HTC-Magic. Then they proceed with the Google services provided in it such as Google Search, Google Maps, Google Talks and even Youtube. After that, they continue on highlighting the simple and versatile User Interface(UI) of the on-screen keyboard. The next is about the connection, mainly regarding of the mail synchronizations, and setups. The last content in the overview is about the Android Market, a site where users can easily find any Android OS application available there ad easily install it on their HTC-Magic.

    The link is as shown below.
    http://www.htc.com/www/product/magic/overview.html

    Okay, I think that's all from me.. going to kl at 7.30pm.. huhu.. see ya nxt week(^_^).."

    Because my computer is IBM, so I would like to know
    The language used very professional and easy to understand
    The authors used a very detailed information to introduce the IBM company, from the Company's inception to the present development of an introductory, though not very detailed, but the readers can try to understand. Which introduced the IBM PC model, price and so on. More practical.
