Editors Letter Analysis 2

The editor starts her letter with a description of what she wants to achieve in life one of them being "learning how to play the banjo" showing her more personal side with what she is currently doing with her life, so the audience feels a connection of that she is more than just the editor of a magazine. She has aspirations and goals like everybody else. This comes across very relaxed and easy-going letting the reader digest the information easily.

She is also showing the reader that they should set their own goals, she has used her own as an example to encourage them to pursue their own goals. Towards the end she gives advice by saying goals should be 'practised daily' and throughout the year so it takes the pressure of doing it as soon as possible

She uses colloquial language to round off the end of the letter with "Cheers!" which is often spoken allowed rather than written down, thus adding a light hearted sense of humour to a somewhat serious topic.The language she uses in her letter is formal but still talkative which includes the reader into it. The picture of her next to the text shows her laughing which shows the reader she doesn't take what she does too seriously which is what she wants to put across to her audience.

Overall this editors letter is solely serious but it makes sense to be since having life goals aren't anything to joke about to some people, this also acts as a guide to how to achieve those goals and with this magazine you can do that.

Planning: After analysing this letter I see that different editors have different styles when coming to write their letters whether they want to go the serious route or want to inspire their readers to better themselves.
