  1. I choose Memo Sample 4 and I award it a mark of nine. Its tone and diction are appropriate. Besides. the recommendation is clear and it provides specific reasons to support it. Moreover, there are not any spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes. It observes the correct manuscript conventions except for the one-inch margins on all sides.

  2. In my opinion,sample number 4 is not only one of the most coherent and cohesive, but also is in due accordance with most of the points that were supposed to be taken into account to do the task. For instance,the poster presents a tone and diction appropiate for the audience and the recommendation is by far clear. Besides it has good design elements,such as effective use of colour or appropiate and and compatible graphics which really makes it vivid.

    • It is written in a formal tone which is the appropriate for the audience, the principal.
    • As regards the clearness of the recommendation, it is well-organised and easy to understand.
    • It is plenty of supporting information about each item
    • The text is well-organised, using the correct connectors as well as the distribution of the paragraphs
    • It is a good resource the use of the vignette in order to catch the readers’ attention. In addition, the second kind of vignettes is used to summarise the main reasons to convince the readers to choose this dictionary.
    We have chosen the poster number three because of the following reasons:
    • As regards the title, the choice of words is the appropriate for the audience, in big letters, a kind of hook that interests the students in this dictionary.
    • The use of witty remarks as well as pictures is very helpful for this kind of audience.
    • In connection with the colours, they are the proper ones because they do not affect the sight taking into account that they are soft colours.
    • It is a good summary of the main reasons to choose this dictionary; besides, it is all the information in a sheet of paper, allowing an accessible distribution among students.
