i think the article is digestable, since the readers able to grasp the content of the article. The stance of the writer was obviously condemned the African high authority since they put weapon issue as priority compared to batteled HIV/AIDS issue whih is the real "War" that they have to overcome. the writer also included the intervention that was provided by NGO to help African peoples. the writer tend to infor the readers about the condition in Africa, as well as to urge African authorities to increase the medication for HIV/AIDS patient, and be more realistic towards the condition.

what the hack is this? can you elabotare more?

Concept/terminology/task that difficult to be understands.
In my opinion, the “Bulimia concept is difficult to be understand. Moreover after read this paragraph, the dieting theory cannot fully explain bulimia. Many people who diet don’t become bulimic; some can avoid it because their natural “ideal” weight, and therefore the diet they adopt do not starve them. In addition, bulimic are often depressed, since binging purging leads to self loathing. Depression may worsen bulimia by making it easier to give it in temptation. Further, dieting may just be another symptom of bulimia, not a cause. Other factors aside, i can speculate that dieting below your natural weight is a necessary condition for bulimia, and that returning to your natural weight and accepting that weight will cure bulimia.

Article on "Dieting"...it's fairly interesting actually...

After reading the article on “Dieting”, I’m just realizing that men and women who lose more than ten pounds in five years have substantially more heart attack and stroke than expected. This is true of the peoples who lose weight voluntarily (dieters) as well as the people who lose weight involuntarily because they are ill. In second study, men who had at least one cycle of loss and regain are at double the risk for death from heart disease than men who progressively gain weight over twenty five years. I the third study, more than five thousand men and women from Framingham, Massachusetts, were observe for thirty two year. People whose weight fluctuates over the years had 30 to 100 percent greater risk for death from heart disease than people whose weight was stable. When corrected for smoking, exercise, cholesterol level, and blood pressure, the finding become more convincing, suggesting that weight fluctuation (the primary cause which is presumably dieting) may itself increasing the risk of heart disease.
In my personal view, i reckon this is kind of attractive fact that we did not realize.

Reading 5.4 “Metaphor”.

The writer focuses on the use of language that will leave an impact to the readers. Metaphor is crucial since it is though of an action, and language. Metaphor plays an important role in language at a number of different levels. Metaphor sometimes is strongly motivated.

In emphasizing the structural coherent of much metaphor. Metaphor are culture specific, they invite the reader to imagine a society in which argument is structured.
In the text, the writer claims that metaphor is useful to deliver the message and describe something without need to go straight to the points. The group has deliver a good presentation and able to give a clear view about what methapor is all about, and the usage of methapor in our daily life.

Reading 5.3 Types of exposition: “Persuading that” and “persuading to”.

The writer told the readers about exposition. Basically, there are two types of exposition which is ‘analytical” and “Hortatory” exposition. Analytical exposition aim to persuade the recipient that something is true, on the other hand, hortatory exposition aim to change employee behaviour. in this chapter, the writer also touch on the differences between written and spoken English. The writer also included “Exposition and metaphor which is the use of other word to describe something so that, the word the text is not typical.” The presenter had done a good presentation on this topic. Based from the text, the writer assumes that spoken English is far more difficult than written English. This id due to complexity of grammatical.

Reading 4.5 “crooked and fallacious thinking”

In this topic was presented by nur Syuhada and Noor Mastika. Basically,this chapter discuss about crooked and fallacious thinking are illogical mental process and poor communication skill but also manipulative tool in hands of speakers/ writers wishing to influence and effects the judgement of their listeners/readers. They are also aim to influence others. Crooked and fallacious thinking should be avoided. Their presentation is good. The writer position some victim as simple minded . Example from text is “Lightning does not cause thunder eventhough it flashes before the thunders roars. Yet, many people commit this fallacy unconciosnessly, and crooked thinkers who use this trick find as they do with other tricks find as they do with other tricks, a lot of simple minded victims”.

Reading 4.4 “Statistics”

In this chapter, the writer discus about the use and of statistic and intended to caution readers into a more informed response to text that relate facts and figures. However, statistic sometime being misuse by some parties, for instance unqualified averages, fallacious sampling, percentages unaccompanied by actual numbers, and misleading presentation. Statistic will make a data understandable and more attractive. The presenter had done a good presentation. The writer condemn the people that misused statistic for personal importance. Misleading statistic are thus dangerous. Nevertheless, a layman who acquires some insight into the ways of presenting, analysing and interpreting numerical data will have not only adequate defence against misleading statistical traps, but also some quittance with a useful decision making and facts finding tool.
