NEWS ARTICLE

The first article is a news report that uses verbs that are mostly in past tense. It also utilizes active voice which follows the format of subject-verb-object to seem more direct. It uses direct speech by sharing the message of a speaker using their exact words while using reporting verbs such as: said, highlighted, and indicated . The content involves facts and statistical data with the aim to inform people about a medication being launched and provides relevant information regarding mental healthcare in the Philippines. The paragraphs are shorter compared to the second article. 

FEATURE ARTICLE

The second article is similar to argumentative and persuasive essays as it attempts to explain and provide evidence to readers that women are also strong, devoted, faithful to God, and are not weak. Its writing style is persuasive and it also has a similar structure to the essays mentioned as it includes three points to support the thesis statement. The article provides evidence and defends its claim by citing the life of St. Joan of Arc, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Maria Goretti. Additionally, the verbs used in creating this article are usually in their past form. In the end of the article, it also includes a conclusion to summarize the points and a call to action is also given.
