4B1+Magazine+Article+Discussion

This is the official page for TIME Magazine Article Discussion.

Like I have metioned, your articles need not be from Time; newspapers and other sources would suffice.

So far, 9 May seems to be the last date that most ofyou posted any comments; only Keith posted his comments on ManU on 23 May.

Obviously, some postings invite more comments than others. I particularly enjoy reading your response to Zi Wei's post on **'In Defense of Motherhood'.**

I also applaud Patrick's attempt at getting people to comment on the language use in **Salman Rushdie's 'Pakistan: A Terrorist State'**. There were several valiant and interesting attempts, but only some succeeded at critiquing the language use instead of the content.

I suppose it has to do with your choice of topic as well as the writer's style. I'll like to share 2 articles from Newsweek which is more descriptive in nature but in no way, less engaging. Do consider how the introductory and concluding paragraphs are crafted. They provide interesting food for thought.



All in all, some [Chun Weng, Yu-Ting, Keith, Peng Ru, Kuan Chun] have responded to 3 articles while others have posted interesting and thought-provoking comments. However, there are others who need some reminder - I //**definitely need more comments from folks like Zheng Cheng, Zhixin, Wang Zhi, Darren, Gee Yang, Shi Tian, Liang Jun, Wei Zhe, Xinling, Nicholas and JIAWEI.**//

To prod you on, here is my revised schedule for selecting a suitable article and posting your comments on it.

1) Jiawei, Xinling, Wei Zhe - post by Sun 5 June 2011

2) Liang Jun, Shi Tian, Gee Yang - post by Sun 12 June 2011

3) Darren, Wang Zhi, Zhixin - post by Sun 19 June 2011

4) Zheng Cheng, Peng Ru, Yu-Ting - post by Sun 26 June 2011

5) Kai Hong, Mingren, Yongming - post by 3 July 2011
