Revision Notes
Differences Between Broadsheets and Tabloids
Broadsheets and Tabloids are both two different types of newspaper
...

Stress facts and elaborate with great depth on what is happening
...

Think of synonyms for certain words (in example, instead of ‘happy’ say ‘content’)
Use facts and statistics where you can or use a factual tone to describe the fallout of events
...


Different Audiences
When writing, we must consider our audience so that we can tailor our piece to them
...
Care about what you say!
To a parento Be reasonable with your points to try and persuade them
o Seem understanding
o Can be either informal OR formal depending on the situation

Whenever we write, different audiences must be considered as it is vital that you write for the correct one
...

Alternatively, if you are told to write to a council then you can’t use slang! Giving an impression is
imperative in this case and you must try to follow your audience and engage them throughout

Dear Sir,
My name is Isabella Manfredi and I am writing to you regarding the recent plans for an incinerator plant in my local
area
...

Firstly, the current environment in Tarporley is already picturesque as it is
...
By constructing a monstrous
incinerator, we are not doing this: we are scarring what is currently a beautiful place to live
...

Secondly, our council’s budget can be better used somewhere else, for example to create a communal garden
...
The variety of wildlife here is astronomical and is admirable compared to other
areas like Northwich and Winsford
...
People aspire to live in places like Tarporley; the ‘Best Village’ placards are visible by the
church and bring appreciated recognition
...
With
options such as hydropower and solar panels becoming increasingly popular, incinerating material is no longer as
effective as it could be
...
Where we could use much safer energy options like solar panels, why use something which can escalate the
amount of asthmatics enduring attacks which may lead some to fear for their lives? Solar panels and wind turbines
can be implemented and don’t affect anyone’s health, so they’re a much better choice
...
It is one thing when an incinerator can affect
random people, but another retrospect is uncovered entirely when it is someone close to you
...
Indeed, the squared area of waste is reduced
by 75% upon burning, but fumes add to the imminent threat of climate change
...
Time goes on, concentration of
carbon goes up
...
Nowadays we have other
energy options available, so why use one which would aggravate such a vast majority of citizens? Instead, we should
be focusing on how to improve our environmental status by adding to cultivated gardens and footpaths around the
local constituency
...

Yours faithfully,

Bella Manfredi

VAN DIJK: SAGA OR SCANDAL?
Virgil van Dijk is the most talked about footballer in the present dayfor all the wrong reasons!
Wednesday 7th June Liverpool FC were on
the rim of capturing the most sought-after transfer
target this year: Virgil van Dijk
...

As their club captain, van Dijk was always unlikely
to sign for another club, but Liverpool supposedly
approached him illegally
...

In modern day football, such a move is classed
as ‘illicit,’ breaking the transfer rules
...
What a let
down
...
Previously this season, the
club had been linked with the inappropriate
signing of youth players which also broke the FA
guidelines
...

“This is a vital move for Liverpool as without a
statement they could’ve easily been pursued by
Southampton for illegal conduct
...
”
Over the past decade, this notorious club has
been faced with mountains of press disasters
which have taken a toll on players and FSG, the
owners
...
However, he isn’t the only one
...
Today this seemed the only
logical option and the apologetic statement was
released
...
” Clearly
happy that Liverpool had embarrassed
themselves, the Southern club agreed to drop
any accusations, but they’re now adamant that
van Dijk isn’t ever going to be transferred to
Liverpool
...
Southampton and Liverpool
have built a respectable trading bridge between
themselves, overseeing the likes of Dejan Lovren
and Adam Lallana joining The Reds in recent
times
...
With an
incredible
youth
development
program,
Southampton rear many of the most formidable
young footballers in England
...
As Jurgen Klopp tries to build an generally
strong squad, he would struggle without his top
transfer target
...


Loyalty is massive in the footballing world with
some transfers being looked down upon if they
are to rival clubs, but terms and dedication to their
new potential club
...
Largely a guessing game, to tap up could
range between a brief “Hello!” and a full-scale
series of drawn out meetings
...

Letting them make their decisions does eliminate
the job of an agent, yet if they needed or wanted
one they’d still be on offer
...

Therefore, if players could choose their clubs and
wages it would increase the independence of
them from a young age, creating stronger
individuals for later in life when football has run its
course
...
To many tapping up is a complex situation;
some people think that ideas like tapping up are
pointless
...

Wednesday 7th June Liverpool Football Club were
locked in a fierce battle to sign the proclaimed Virgil
van Dijk, a well-known Dutch footballer currently
under contract for five years with the Southern club
Southampton
...
Such players
reared down South often opt for a ‘big money move’
to notorious clubs including Liverpool Football Club
and Manchester United
...

Clearly a highly valued professional, van Dijk was
signed from Scottish League club Celtic and has
heavily featured in the Southampton starting eleven,
although his season was deemed over once he sprung
an injury to his foot in the form of a torn ligament and
alas, he was side-lined
...
Loved by his
own club and by the whole league, van Dijk has
attracted bigger clubs to seek his services in playing
for them: such is the story with Liverpool
...
However, everything that goes up
must come down and on June 6th, Southampton
accused Liverpool Football Club of ‘tapping up’ Virgil
van Dijk
...

Unfortunately, having been locked in various press
disasters over previous years, Liverpool decided that
they could not afford another mainstream scandal,
opting to issue an apology statement to Southampton
regarding their position and advances on van Dijk
...
‘Tapping up,’ is defined
as “the illicit practice of attempting to recruit a player
while he is still bound by contract to another team,”
(via Collins Dictionary) and this seems to be what
Klopp had executed
...

Due to the nature of this offence, Southampton had
every right to pursue Liverpool Football Club over the
meeting and press charges which could result in fines
or transfer bans, but after FSG and the Liverpool board
issued their statement, all seemed to be forgiven
...
As the number one
priority on Liverpool’s transfer list, this is surely a
blow to the club and millions of fans worldwide in yet
another public scandal
...

No club could afford to have such a scanty appearance
when they are trying to pursue alternate transfer targets
such as Aubameyang, Mohammed Salah and Naby
Keita
...
This is one prime example of a legend in
the making who has been driven to find refuge
somewhere less judgemental and the same could
happen to any other players in an instant and it would
further damage any club’s reputation if this did occur
...
Indeed, the player should seek the
acceptance of their current club and manager before
arranging meetings with rivals or alternate areas, but
sometimes clubs are hesitant to let go of such diverse
men and this puts in setbacks, including some players
having to force transfers which leaves seas of bad
blood between them and their previous fans
...
With no
bridge means there will likely be no transfer, much to
Liverpool’s dismay although van Dijk could heave
himself along and force a move to the Merseyside
giants
...

Perhaps in the future tapping up should be less
punishable? Truly nobody will ever be able to
comprehend what really goes on behind closed doors,
leading to even more speculation and this could all be
avoided if tapping up wasn’t as complex as it is in the
present day
...
Furthermore, the player themselves
should be held accountable for their progress in a club
and whether they want to leave or stay
...
Of course, for
the less experienced players agents would be on hand
to guide them primarily, but upon reaching a reliable
age should they be allowed to make their own choices
and decisions?
In conclusion, the world of football would be less
maimed by scandals and instead would focus on
legendary players’ attributes, not rumours surrounding
them
...

To play the game requires love, not just a pocket full

of wages and this should be carried out in every
situation openly
...
