Text 1 The following text is a product description from Australian skin care company, Go-To, of their skin cream called ‘Properly Clean’ found on their website http://www.gotoskincare.com/ the description is accompanied by a how to use this product and a selection of customer reviews. 1 Properly Clean 2 150ml℮5.07fl.oz 3 A cleanser that actually, yknow, cleans. 4 Unlike cleansers that are unnecessarily harsh, foamy or scratchy, or too thick and 5 creamy, leaving behind residue and dissatisfaction, or are too basic for your needs 6 (i.e.: a face slathered in moisturisers, serums, primers, sunscreens, makeup, grime and 7 pollution) Properly Clean, cleans. Properly. 8 It doesn't take smokos and it never chucks sickies: it's on the g-damn task, day and 9 night. Low levels of non-irritating Willow Bark Extract (an extremely gentle version of 10salicylic acid), ensures your skin is thoroughly clean but never dry or unbalanced, 11while the all-natural silky soft mousse leaves your complexion smooth, hydrated and 12happy. 13How do I use it? 14Simply lather 1-2 squirts of mousse all over your (wet) face, and massage in 15thoroughly. Rinse off. (Repeat if necessary, but this is highly unlikely.) Use daily, 16preferably at the end of said day when that cute face of yours needs a proper clean. 17Feel soft, smooth and smug. It's soft enough for mature skin. Gentle enough for 18sensitive skin or breakout-y skin. Nourishing enough for dry skin. Balanced enough for 19oily skin. And boy does it look fantastic in a bikini. 20Real life reviews from real life people! 21"I love this stuff ! I want to MARRY the Properly Clean cleanser.

accompanied by a how to use this product and a selection of satirical customer reviews. Bro-To is a subbranch of the larger Go-To cosmetic company mentioned in text 1. 34Bro-To Properly Clean 35Brocause you're worth it. 36Go-To skin care has developed a Limited Edition mega manly male face cleanser just for hunks 37like you who bro exactly what they want, and bron’t accept anything less than the best. 38This is brotally dangerous face wash, made specifically for your beer-guzzlin, monster-truckin, 39footy-kickin, shark-ridin lifestyle. 40And also your face. Because it’s face wash. 41So bron’t be such a godamn caveman. Or do, because after all, they did some really great spear42based stuff and all seemed to be cut, and were terrific at rock art, but be a caveman with clean 43skin: use Bro-To Properly Clean. 44You bro you want to. 45Men have skin. 46After 25 years of fictional research, we discovered that men have what we are colloquially 47referring to as, “skin”. Upon making this discovery, we quickly created a broduct just for said 48male “skin,” called Bro-To Properly Clean. 49 50It feels and behaves just like the Go-To Properly Clean face wash we know many male Australian 51men secretly enjoy and use and steal from their non-male girlfriends and wives, mostly because it 52is exactly the same formula, just in a brotally explosive gun-metal grey bottle, that has been 53triple-soaked in crocodile saliva, and is capable of withstanding 12 atomic brombs. 54 55Directions: After wetting your filthy face under an Amazonian waterfall or similar, press the 56pump of Properly Clean twice and watch the mountains of hard-core, 100% bulletproof mousse 57spill onto your hand. Apply this mousse to your face and lather up. Rinse off completely and 58brope that the world is ready for your clean, soft, perfect man face, you beautiful bastard. 59 60Optional: Follow on with Go-To Face Hero and/or Go-To Very Useful Face Cream, (Warning: 61these products are not grey and do not contain any T-Rex sweat) and a high-speed car chase. 62 63Man up! Clean up! Give Bro-To a bro! 64Testostermonials! 65Bro's all around the world are broing mad for Bro-To... 66"I bought mine using my Internet Web connection." Gavin, Internet Web Surfer 67"I didn’t even knew I had a face til I used face wash!" Lionel, Rope Access Technician 68"Whatever. I will still just steal my girlfriend's" Luke, Total Hunk 69"This is bullshit. It’s exactly the same product. What a friggen scam." Kylie, Vet Nurse

Language choices and strategies closely reflect the values upheld by individuals and groups in society. Refer to at least two subsystems in your response.

Stimulus a) “If you lose your language, you lose your personality, your character and who you are.” (Hugh Lunn, The Age, 2 December 2010)

b)

(Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman, ‘Zits’, The Age, 23 Sept 2013) c) “Even the smallest utterance can determine whether someone is an outsider or not.

Pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary provide a powerful basis for inclusion and exclusion” (Adapted from an Immigration Museum poster) d) ““Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of profession.”

(Kingman Brewster Jr)

Question 3

Stimulus a) “…people notice the informality in language use and worry about it, thinking that it causes deterioration in a language. The prophets of doom emerge every time a new technology influences language.” (David Crystal, The Scope of Internet Linguistics, February 2005) b) “It’s just that there are times when you wear your tracksuit and times when only

your “Sunday best” will do, and so it is with your use of language” (Collins, Peter and Hollo, Carmella, English Grammar: An introduction, Palgrave Macmillan, 2010, p.21) c) “…where social dialects are concerned there is often strong hostility. Here non-

standard is typically substandard, and the speakers of these varieties are condemned for their accent, their use of slang, and of course their grammar (or socalled “lack of grammar”).” (Kate Burridge and Jean Mulder, English in Australia and New Zealand, Oxford University Press, South Melbourne, 2001 ) d) Overheard on the train:

“as if youse did that? No way you did. Youse are a buncha liars.”

‘Some varieties of Australian English are considered more prestigious than others.’ Discuss. Refer to at least two subsystems in your response....
