Text Analysis
This module covers pre-writing, while-writing and post-writing activities. In the pre-reading activities, the students are asked to read a text first, which mainly tells about the change of the heroine's concept from extreme pursuit of weight loss to concern about health, and explains the reasons for the change to guide students to develop a positive attitude towards life. After reading, students answer the relevant questions as required. The set of display questions helps students’ deep understanding of the article. In addition, asking students to find words and phrases that show similarities and differences in the article is also a preparation for the next writing. In the pre-reading activities, there is a group discussion about some problems concerning health. The questions discussed are directly related to the following writing topics. The group discussion is actually brainstorming before writing, which aims to help students find materials, generate ideas and enrich content. In the while-writing activity, there are four steps to help and guide students to write. At the same time, these four steps also teach students how to organize their articles. In the post-writing activities, peer review is mainly set up. There are some notes serving as the evaluation criteria for students' compositions. Peer review can help cultivate students' abilities of critical thinking, analyzing problems and solving problems, enrich the cognitive schema of authors and readers, enhance their error correction ability and improve the quality of writing text output.
