Recap
Strategies to help listeners
- Be clear and concise

- Tell your listeners how you have organized what you are going to say.
- Signpost your speech by sequence markers and words to show the relationships between the ideas
Strategies to help listeners
- Repetition of key ideas / terms helps to make the content clear
How? = the steps / the procedure / the way
The lecturer repeats the idea of stimulating healthy competition 3 times, once in the introduction when he provides the outline of sections and twice within the first argument.
He mentioned that students are stimulated by the competitive atmosphere to produce the best work they are capable of. And before moving on to the second issue, he reinforces that examinations stimulate hard work and a healthy competition, which reflects the reality of the outside world.
Less referents
Strategies to help listeners
Less referents like pronouns
- If too many pronouns have been used, listeners will feel confused
Strategies to help listeners
Look at the example:
John and Sam were sitting in the kitchen. John really wanted to talk about what he'd done in the last ten years, but he seemed more interested in rehashing the days of their childhood. He was saddened by the fact that he couldn't share all of the successes of the past decade with him - but alas, Sam didn't seem to care.
Can you identify what each 'he' and the 'him' refer to?

Citation and Referencing
Recap
Citation and Referencing (Unit 5 P. 68 onwards)
Citation and referencing is one of the features of academic writing.
Without acknowledging the sources is plagiarism.
The commonly used citing style is APA style.
Citation and Referencing (Unit 5 P. 68 onwards)
There are two important parts:
- in-text citation
- references (a reference list at the end of the essay)
Citation and Referencing (Unit 5 P. 68 onwards)
There are two types of in-text citation:
- integral in-text citation
- non-integral in-text citation
Citation and Referencing (Unit 5 P. 68 onwards)
Integral in-text citation
- incorporated in the text and verbs of attribution will be used.
Non-integral in-text citation
- not within the text
- next to the idea, often at the end of the sentence
Citation and Referencing (Unit 5 P. 68 onwards)
Glassick, Huber, and Maeroff (1999) stated that teaching, too, must in the end be judged not merely by process but by results, however eloquent a teacher's performance (p. 29). Ultimately, it is the results of teaching, not the method or the quality of the teacher's performance, that we must evaluate (Glassick, Huber & Maeroff, 1999, p. 29).
Glassick, Huber, and Maeroff: authors and the subject of the sentence
in-text citation: year only (1999)
Start with the ideas of Glassick, Huber and Maeroff so they are not the subject therefore no verb of attribution.
in-text citation thus includes the authors and year (at the end)
Verb of attribution:
stated (reporting results/ presenting views)
Integral in-text citation
Non-integral in-text citation
Elements included

1. Today, many sports are becoming ________________ regulated. Boxing, ruby, soccer, and other games are being targeted by sports bodies and medical organizations in an effort to improve safety standards and to __________________ injuries. However, for some people, that is not enough, and they would rather see some dangerous sports ___________ completely. In this essay, I will examine some arguments against banning dangerous sports.
banned
Unit 3 Sports World
provide
Challenging sports ______________________ a healthy, largely safe, physical outlet for aggression. There is very little evidence to show that people who take part in dangerous sports become violent as a result. In fact, it is more likely that apart from the many friendships ________________ in playing, sport acts as a safety valve for a society by reducing stress...

paralysed: have no feeling in their body, or in part of their body, and are unable to move
involve
Almost all sports _______________ some risk. Young rugby players are paralysed every year in scrums. Scuba-diving accidents can lead to brain damage or death. Even golf or jogging can lead to pain or injury. Without some elements of risk or challenge, sport becomes meaningless.
scrums: In rugby, a scrum is a tight group formed by players from both sides pushing against each other with their heads down in an attempt to get the ball.
Unit 3 Sports World
defy: to challenge
A marathon runner trying to improve his time, basketball players fiercely battling an opposing team, or a sky-diving team __________________ gravity - all are trying to push themselves to their maximum. There is therefore no sport without danger.
defying

There is also the issue of freedom. Without a wide range of sports, many people would feel trapped or limited. People should be free to ____________________ in activities with others as long as they do not affect the safety of non-participants.
participate

alleged: not been proved to be true
alleged
There also should be limits to the power of governments to ban sports. If one sport is banned because of __________________ danger, then what sport would be next? Boxing is the most common target of opponents of dangerous sports.
Unit 3 Sports World
But if boxing is banned, would motor racing follow, then rugby, wrestling, or weightlifting? Furthermore, many sports would go underground, _____________________ to increased injury and illegal gambling.

introduced
Nobody denies that regulation is needed. Medical bodies have ____________________ safety rules in boxing, in soccer, and these safety regulations have been welcomed by players. But the role of government should be reduced.
Unit 3 Sports World
prevent/ reduce
In conclusion, our society would be healthier if more people took part in sports of all kinds. We should continue to try to __________________ accidents and injuries. However, we should also ensure that sports are challenging, exciting, and, above all, fun.
