Samsung F300 advertisement review
'Imagine flipping from your music, to your life and back again' this slogan is enhanced by the image of Beyoncé taking up most of the advertisement. Nearly the same picture of her is flipped over and the phone in her hand, the product that they are trying to sell, has been photo shopped to be the other side of the phone, possibly showing to the viewer that they could be like this too and how easy it is to 'flip' from one side of the product to the other. This clever metaphor is carried all throughout the advertisement. 'Dual-faced' and 'super-slim', both are two words that don't need to be put together, emphasize the two features of the Samsung F300. As they feature at different points in the piece, it becomes a recurring theme. Alliteration of the letter 's' is used twice in close proximity, also. 'Super-slim' and 'something special' add a quick paced, catchy sound that the audience may be likely to catch up on and have stuck in their heads.

English language project - facebook chats
The difference between texting on your phone and typing on a keyboard
For my project I am looking at two Facebook chats between two people of the same age, sex and who go to the same college. To make my results and the data I use fair I am using every other thing that is said on either a laptop/computer keyboard or on a smartphone, using the Facebook app. What I plan to find is if their dialect changes depending on how they are communicating on the website and the ease that they can do this in both ways. For example, as smartphones have auto-correct it is less likely to misspell words, however one of the pieces of data I have collected the person says 'I wanted her to have a good tie' but then sent 'time' showing their correction as this was from their phone. However, typing on a keyboard can also be difficult as some keys can be difficult to press on, the same person said 'mistakeslol' as one word without pressing the space bar in between, from this we can infer that it can be easy to think you have pressed a button without actually doing so. I am pleased with the amount of differences and similarities I have found during my research and do plan to use this for my project.
