Dwi Iswahyuni [2201409028]

Exercise 5

1.    No, that passage doesn’t give me information about Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood.
2.    Most of that passage is about Eleanor Roosevelt’s accomplishment or her achievements in the struggle for human rights.
3.    This passage gives a positive impression of Mrs. Roosevelt. I can say that because in this passage, it describes about Mrs. Roosevelt’s greatest accomplishment and precious things that she had done ( such as in the first paragraph).
4.    Mrs. Roosevelt felt that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was her greatest accomplishment.
5.    Mrs. Roosevelt (as a person) is an independent woman. She is also a care person. Not only it, she is also smart, she has great spirit that will not give up to realize what she wants.


Exercise 6

1.    The encyclopedia entry adds information about Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood and more about Mrs. Roosevelt’s personal life ( from her childhood until she passed away).
2.    The two passages are similar in giving information about Mrs. Roosevelt’s accomplishment ( both of them tell about Mrs. Roosevelt’s accomplishment in the human right struggling).
The difference between both of them: (1) the second passage tells us more detail about Mrs. Roosevelt’s personal life ( for example: her childhood). (2) The source of the first passage is from internet web page, while the second passage is from encyclopedia entry ( the information is arranged more systematically).
3.    If I were writing a report on Mrs. Roosevelt’s life, the source that would be more useful is encyclopedia entry because it describes more detail about Mrs. Roosevelt’s life, starting from her childhood until she died.
4.    If I were writing a report about the United Nations, the source would be more useful is the web page because from it, I can get more information about the United States, such as the establishment of the United Nations.
5.    The encyclopedia entry is easier to skim because it is more systematic and there are subtitles ( the bold words in that passage) that can make us easier to understand the contain of the passage.
