2 RADIO TEACHER: In this broadcast episode, we are going to discuss about 

3 : the use of imagery and diction. Do you know what imagery

and 

4 : diction mean? How are these used in literary pieces? You’ll 

5 : have a deeper understanding of the concept as we go on 

6 : with our broadcast. So, stay tuned and listen intently. 

7 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 5 SECS AND FADE UNDER

8 RADIO TEACHER: For you to be guided and well directed, let’s build and 

9 : enrich your understanding of the concepts first by answering

10 : some basic questions.  Are you fond of reading literary pieces?

11 : (PAUSE) That’s great!  What literary genre do you often read?

12 : (PAUSE) Hmmm. Of course, you vary in choice or preference.

13 : Can you see in your mind the things being presented in the 

14 : text? (PAUSE) If you answered yes, that’s excellent! That is 

15 : what we call “Imagery”.  Imagery refers to the “mental 

16 : pictures” that readers experience when reading literature. 

17 BIZ: MSC UP FOR 5 SECS AND FADE UNDER

18 RADIO TEACHER: This time, let me again ask you few questions. When 

19 : reading a piece of literature, do you encounter difficulties in 

20 : understanding some terms used? (PAUSE) or Do you consider

21 : the use and choice of words important? (PAUSE) If yes, you 

22 : are indeed considering diction. Diction is the choice and use of
