Learning Goals

Whether you’re listening to a song, watching your favourite YouTube channel or reading a brochure: all texts, spoken and written, are usually organised and structured. A well-organised and structured text is clear, easy to follow, and gets the point across.

How a text is organised and structured is important. You’ll find out that most texts are organised and structured in a similar way. Would you be able to recognise it? To which elements, words and images, do you pay attention? Are texts always organised in the same way?

In this building block, you will look at structure through the lens of the entertainment world: from popular (online) sports, the latest and most exciting music trends to well-loved films and TV series.

Fame & Entertainment

1. Are there any famous people you really admire? Who are they?
2. Would you like to be famous one day? What would you like to be famous for?
3. Who is the most famous person you have ever seen?
4. If you could invite three famous people to dinner, who would they be?

Text organisation

1 introduction

This is the first part of a text. The introduction tells you what the text will be about. This helps you to decide if you want to read the full text.

2 body

This is the main part of a text. The body contains information, ideas or arguments. This is usually the largest part of a text and can have several paragraphs.

3 conclusion

This is the final part that brings the text to a logical end. A conclusion can include different things, such as a summary, an opinion or a call for action.

You can use the first and last part of a text for clues about the body: what is this text about? Will it give me the information I need?

Building Blocks A2- Unit 3

Text structure: sequence and chronology (volgorde van gebeurtenissen en tijd).

This structure is used to list events or steps:

- steps on how to do or make something

For example: first you do this, secondly you do that, and finally/lastly you ... (= sequence)

- by the order in which events happened in time

For example: in the morning this happened, then that happened, the next day something else happened (= chronology)

You can recognise a text structure by looking for signal words.

Examples of signal words often used for sequence and chronology are: ‘first(ly)’, ‘second(ly)’, ‘then’, ‘next’, ‘earlier’, ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘finally’, ‘last(ly)’.
