II Text Features and Language Focus.
A Evaluating the style and the language of the text.
The title of the text is a clear indication of its topic and subject matter as well as the kind of problems it is concerned with - the job of a teacher.
Some specific features of the text are also clear from the title and the format of the text: 1) the text is written as a first person s narration; 2) it is composed as an answer to the underlying question "Why do you teach?” The text as a whole is written in a literary style. At the same time its vocabulary varies from stylistically neutral and even conversational to formal and lofty words, such as e.g. 'condemn, 'praize', as well as from emotionally neutral words to very expressive and colourful vocabulary. This vocabulary includes: a) compound words, mainly adjectives, that will not be found in a dictionary as they are formed by the author to express his idea vividly and precisely, e.g. 'sweaty-palm': b) repetitions and inverted constructions, e.g. "Nor do I teach" and constructions with emphatic "do".
