What is the purpose of writing a proposal?
How should you end a proposal? Why?
I think the main target of writing a proposal is to give advice or make recommendations so that some kind of project, program, show, etc, which is going to be carried out, can be more succesfull or catch more the attention of people.
A good proposal should end with the hope that the suggestions made will help to develope the work set out. I mean, for example:
"I hope these suggestions would inspire a good program, which entertain the audience and became popular on TV. It could be the beginning of a real success."
This should be done because, in this way, you give the impression that you really want to collaborate and wish the project to be a reality, and also you're sure that your ideas would improve it.
Which of the following statements are usually true of a proposal?
In my opinion, the only one that usually doesn't appear in a proposal is the direct speech. The others can. Some of them are very important, like the suggestions and recommendations and the purpose of triying to persuade the reader of the value of them.
Which organisation would be best for the proposal?
I think the best one is A. The proposal must have an introduction explaining the current developement of the lessons and why the survey have been carried out. The second paragraph should talk about the results of the survey and point out the main issues detected. In the third, one recomendations must be made in order to try to solve the main problems, and, in the end, the proposal must finish with a conclusion, summarising all the contents.

Planing a review
What kinds of things are reviewed in newspapers andmagazines?
-Usually films, books, concerts, exhibitions...
How much are you influence by a review? Would a good review encourage you to go and see a film? Would a bad review stop you buying a book?
- Well, sometimes a review may influence my choose, but in general, if I want to read a book or watch a certain film that I know I like, I would do it.
Read the review of Edward Simpson's below. Which element is missing?
-I think that, in the review of Edward Simpson, it's missing the background information.
Questions about the review:
I would say that this review is formal, for its register and vocabulary, and its well organised structure. The reviewer uses direct speech because he (or she) wants to explain better the ideas developed with painter's grandpa's word's (Edward's grandpa's words). I think the age of the painter is the more catchful point to get the readers' attention, although the reviewer also uses a description about the situation of Edward and his family with art. The reviewer includes a description of the painting and general comments in the second paragraph, whereas he gives his (or her) own opinion in the third one.
