Teacher's comments:
Quite a few things above deal with writing a new paragraph. This particular task is not really about a new paragraph, is it?
One more thing I wanted to draw your attention to is the context. Dont you think it might be a good idea to include something on the context in which the text is produced and also the medium used?
Dont you think you might need a section on the HOW part that deal with the author and his peculiarities?
