This implies…

The word “(word)” gives the impression of…

The phrase “(phrase)” invites the reader to…

REMEMBER: For each word or phrase, you must explain the meaning of the word and the effects of the language choice.

You can explain the meaning of a word by:

- its associations/connotations

- its exact definition

The effects of the language choices:

- How does it make the reader feel? Why?

- Has it impacted on the relationship between the reader and the writer? Why?

- What is the writer trying to achieve?

REMEMBER: ALWAYS BE CONCISE!
