Textual Analysis

     

Salt May Not Affect Heart Risks

A new study suggests that dietary salt may have little or no effect on the risk for heart disease in older adults.

Challenging Words

adjust: to change something slightly so that it works better, fits better, or is more suitable

cardiovascular: relating to the heart and blood vessels 

This text is written to show the general misunderstanding about the relationship between the salt usage and hearth diseases. The writer gives some research results to support his ideas; therefore, tone is informative and objective. He used past tenses when explaining the experiment results but sometimes he used present tense while saying general expressions (We need more prospective evidence in a clinical trial before moving in that direction for older adults). Moreover the writer used direct quotation words to give the professor's ideas. 

     I chose this text because it breaks the general mentality that so many people have, that is why I thought that it is worth to analyse.
