How does the text deviate from conventions of written English?

The text directly transformed my voice of storing to written format. The text didn’t follow the grammar rule, and many mistakes were found. At the same time, the text itself could not define the actual meaning the presenter trying to explain to the audience. On the other hand, the readers of the text could misunderstand the story, and the text could implement a negative impact on the presenter’s educational background.

What is “wrong” in the text? What is “right”?

The “right” thing about this text is that it fully captured every signal word when I told the story. On the other, there are many “wrong” things in the text. For example, my tool is not intelligent enough to correct my grammar and provide effective word choices. Another is that the numbers I’m trying to identify are “wrong” according to the text. Therefore, readers might be confused about the story’s structure, and it may be challenging for the readers to follow.

What are the most common “mistakes” in the text and why do you consider them “mistakes”?

The most common mistakes in the text are grammar, vocabulary and numbers. In the text, the words are as simple as casual storytelling. At the same time, many words could not be appropriately identified and changed the sentence’s meaning. Readers of the text could not continuously follow the story. I consider them as mistakes because the mistakes typical in the text could be avoided if appropriately written. The voice tool makes another common mistake in defining the correct enumeration.  The text often mistakenly showed different numbers as I spoke during my recording. For instance, the weight loss number thirteen instead of thirty and this small mistake could impact the importance of the story.

What if you had “scripted” the story? What difference might that have made?

If I had the chance to script the story, there would be a massive difference between the text indicated above. The whole process will be faster because everything will be written down. Another benefit is that the grammar mistakes and word choice could be more effective. At the same time, most of the common mistakes could have been avoided if I had scripted the story. In addition, the text could work efficiently for the readers to follow, and more minor misunderstandings could appear.

Furthermore,  the text will be efficiently presented concisely and directly if the story is scripted. However, the scripted story might create effective for the speaker to offer. The same mistake may occur if using the same tool. For instance, even if I write down the correct number I want to say, the device may also provide a different number.

In what ways does oral storytelling differ from written storytelling? 

From my perspective, the main difference between oral storytelling and written storytelling is that oral storytelling could create more resonance than written storytelling. The oral storytelling presenter could use various factors to influence the audience. For example, oral storytelling could positively impact the audience by using different voice tones and putting more emotions into bringing an immersive environment. Whereas written storytelling is based on the writer’s writing skill, grammar and the educational background of the readers. Another difference is that many individuals prefer to listen rather than read the texts. At the same time, in today’s society, social media has made many individuals lose patience with reading and thinking independently rather than listening or watching others’ thoughts. However, written storytelling could be a powerful way to influence others by using some simple words. For example, a knowledgeable writer could use one or two sentences to explain a very complex story. The words could also be very inspiring, and readers could learn and adopt from the writer’s perspective. Therefore, the method of receiving a message is another way of difference between oral and written storytelling.
