Is time to talk you about types of text. I will make four posts dedicated to the four types of text. For now, I will begin with the narrative text. The purpose of narration is to tell a story or narrate an event or series of events. This writing mode frequently uses the tools of descriptive writing. Narration is an especially useful tool for sequencing or putting details and information into some kind of logical order, usually chronological. Working with narration helps to see clear sequences separate from all other mental functions. Now I will show you a example of narrative text with the biograhy of a Hollywood's star:
JOHN TRAVOLTA
John Travolta was born in 1954, the youngest of six children. His mother taught acting and often he would go with her to classes. He grew up wanting to be a star one day.
He left school at the age od 16 and at first found it very hard to get jobs. He had a number of small parts in lays and appeared in a Pepsi advert. In 1975, he was lucky enough to get a part in a T.V. show in which he played the leader of a street gang. At last people started to notice him. Eventually, he was offered the star parts in two films, Saturday Night Fever and Grease.
Suddenly everyone had heard about him and lots of boys copied his style of dancing. He became very rich. After Grease, he went through a very bad patch. His mother died, he became very depressed and overweight. Most people thought he was finished. Recently though he has begun to make a recovery and has played the lead in a wide variety of films including Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
It is too early to tell if John Travolta will be remembered as a great film start. He is still working and his greatest film maybe ahead of him. Certainly at the moment, most people will remember him best singing and dancing with Olivia Newton-John in Grease.
