How to revise for writing exam on Tuesday 10th November?

Features of a Transcript Interview

Reads like a script – an accurate transcription of the words used, without commentary or description

* uses a register appropriate to the degree of formality implied by the task

* will have a Question & Response structure, showing the characters' 'alternating speeches'

* will express realistic oral speech, perhaps with complex interactions such as interruptions

* will make apparent an overall pattern of topics and ideas

What does your Transcript interview need?

·         An introduction giving date of interview, who wrote transcript, who was interviewed

·         Questions and answers

·         STRUCTURE Questions which follow a logical order linking to what in said in the previous answer

·         Relatively formal language – this is a professional interview

·         Oral expressions – ‘you know’, ‘pretty much’, ‘sorry, no’, ‘I mean’, ‘like’, ‘anyway’, ‘kind of’,

‘for example’

Content

Ensure you understand the content of the following articles

1) The Guardian: Robot doctors and lawyers

2) The Guardian: Google Glass

3) Google Glass and Autism
This is a minimum requirement. However, I would also recommended researching and reading widely about these topics to find out more information about both Google Glass and Robot Doctors/Lawyers
