In the unit 7, we have done the critical review of dieting. In the text, the writer use the current issues that were relate with the phenomenon of weight control based on the recent research. The text was taken from ‘What you change and what you can’t’ in The Complete guide to self-improvement, by Martin Seligman. In ‘Dieting’ Seligman inform the dangerous of weight loss control and provide the warning to the readers that they should not believe what the commercially-driven claimed them. The article aims to inform, warn and reassure people concerned about their weight and not using any expensive loss product that sometimes not give any good result but give them bad effect.
From the whole text the reader include me can see how hard Seligman argues about loss weight product. He said that the product does not give the advantage to the consumers but it was harmful for them. While the producer earn their living using the money that they get from sell the product. Consumers are victims of the false information put out by the weigh loss industry and of more general believe about maintaining the ’natural weight’. In the text, Seligman give some advice to the overweight readers.
In the article the reader can see how the writer arrange the point that may help the readers to seek for the main point that are important to them to know. The text is not like other reading that I have learned because although it was long but every paragraph identifies the different element that I need to focus. As an example, in paragraph 2, it had identified the audience. While in the paragraph 3, it focuses on the rhetorical function. It is very hard to me to understand the text in the first reading because it is so long and also use the words that I never seen before. So, to understand the article, I need to do the reading more times.
