12. How effective are communications in the virtual
era?
While cell phones have allowed us to engage in
different forms of contact quickly, some times,
when we communicate with another person, it
is difficult for us to write what we mean in the
way we want to say it and that our listener
understands exactly what we are expressing .

say.
-Draft and correction.
-Unknown context of the
receiver (feelings, situation)

the same limited ability of
the words.

feedback.
-Unilateral discourse.

concision.

21. Radio ad Script
Mum: That’s a large bowl of Weetabix. Big day today?
Daughter: Yes, Mum. First, I’ll empty my wardrobe on the floor and
dress from head to toe in pink. Pink socks, pink wig, pink shoes. Next,
I’m going to make a tiara out of pasta and cookies… and I’ll crumble
up the bits of cookies and stick them on, to make the diamonds for it.
Then I’ll pick all the flowers in the garden and make some perfume.
So, I’m going to make the perfume like this. First, I’m going to get a
sieve, two bowls from the kitchen and then I’ll go and pick all the
flowers and mash all the herbs and mints and stuff up, stir it round
with my spoon and then that will be it.
Mum: Lovely.
Daughter: Next, I’ll make a tea party in the bottom of the garden… and
I’ll invite my best friend, Savannah, and another friend, a lollipop.
VO: Packed with slow-release energy to keep you going. Weetabix.
Fuel for big days.
