Introduction

This report examines a text that predicts the future of domestic life. The text
uses complex sentences, connectors, a well-structured format, and cohesive
language and I will be analyzing it.

Connectors & Complex Sentences

To begin with the text has 45 Connectors & 6 Complex Sentences in total,
there were a lot of connectors it was really not that hard to see them because a
lot of them just repeat themselves, and complex sentences they were 6 but
they were really long.
I can say that the effective use of connectors and complex sentences enhances
the text's coherence, if not the text wouldn't make sense. This text needs both
connectors and complex sentences.

Written Discourse

Secondly, this text had 4 paragraphs in total and didn’t have a conclusion the
text only has introduction and body nothing else. The reason of this could be
that this isn’t the complete text.
The text has all 4 paragraphs very full with topic supportive sentences and
discourse organizers and the paragraphs too contains conclusion sentences, the
only thing is that there were few transitional words, still the text is very clear,
reading it wasn’t a problem at all. The overall text provides a cohesive and
well-structured analysis.
Cohesion device

Thirdly, the text uses a lot of cohesive devices like repetition, synonyms,
contrasting connectors, enumeration, ellipsis, reference, emotive language,
quotation marks, and metaphors to maintain coherence and flow throughout.
There were also a lot of grammatical devices, pronouns such as "you" and "it"
help reference and connect ideas within sentences, these contribute to the
text's clarity and logical progression, making it easier to understand.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the text uses all his tools to the fullest making the text really
enjoyable to read, it doesn’t have any errors, the well-structured topic
sentences and supportive sentences flow smoothly with the help of transitional
words and the written discourse. The overall narrative leaves readers with no
troubles at all. I would say that the work was difficult because it was very long
and at the same time tiring since I had to go one by one, and also read it a
dozen of times. But overall, it helped to keep the knowledge of grammar in
my head.
