Makes the text more generalised to all women: they all go through the same thing because they are all the same gender.
-makes the text seem more friendly and like the writer is speaking from experience - this implies that the writer is a women and therefore helps the audience (most of which will be women travellers) relate to the text more and trust that the advice given is the best that the writer has to offer]]> 2021-03-04 14:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269294432 https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269295271 2021-03-04 14:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269295271 https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269295886 - Written in steps to make it easier for people to follow and understand.

>Acts like they know what all women are like, generalising them- as the list tells the audience to "take a break from technology" and "you do not have to eat alone"- creates the idea that they know what women are likely to do/want. Somewhat synthetic personalisation- the writer acts like they know you personally and what will benefit you, and sort of puts themselves on a 'friend'-level to the text receivers.
>Uses personal pronouns such as "my" in the sentence "my favourite way is..." to give a more personal and conversational feel to the blog and make it feel like you're getting advice from a friend. Adjective "favourite" also gives more personal feel and adds weight to the opinions of the writer, as if they know what's the best for themselves so they also know what's best for their readers.
>Therefore, audience positioned below text producer, but in a friendly way- like the writer is their friend that knows what's best for them.]]> 2021-03-04 14:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269303448 https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269311825 the use of the personal pronouns you and your are directing the blog at the text receiver and putting them at a similar level as the text producer making it seem more personal . ]]> 2021-03-04 14:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269311825 https://padlet.com/taraclarke/7jbw7jmw42tjjjm9/wish/1269313209 -Uses hyperlinks throughout to take the audience to useful texts/websites.
