Imagined Interview
Journalist: This morning we have Louis in studio with us. Louis is a suffragette who has experienced a lot in her time with this issue.
So how was your time being a suffragette, Louis?
Louis: Well when you’re a woman fighting for equality, it’s hard to think that equality can be achieved as women are viewed as weak. I fought hard for women to vote and I am happy that we can all have a say in society.
Journalist: Yes, all over the world your work for women’s rights as an activist can be commended and admired. How did you go about creating this accomplishment?
Louis: Personal perseverance has to be the main reason why I think I’ve achieved that much. I stood strong and devoted to women’s feelings about not feeling equal to men by not being able to work. One woman said to me once that they felt ‘deprived’ of freedom as she contributes to the economy and household. That stuck with me and I would hope that for every woman that feels the same way, this would stop that feeling for them.
Journalist: Yes, Yes. I am sure that our listeners would agree with that point. Louis is going to share with us and hour of her time where you can call in and ask about her trials, fighting for women’s rights. Thank you for being here Louis.
Louis: It’s been a pleasure.
Journalist: Coming Up...........
Commentary
I chose to use short sentences for the journalist as they generally want to ask questions and not want to bombard the listeners with information. Also, the journalist repeats small words to bring off to that they are acknowledging what the interviewee has said.
I used lexical sets on women’s rights to emphasis the purpose of the interviewee being there. Also used a calm tone for the interviewee to bring across that she is humble for achieving such a thing.
