Text A Excellent, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen. It gives me a great pleasure to extend to you all a warm welcome on behalf of the Ministry of Education and to say how grateful we are to all the stakeholders: educators, parents, and pupils for gracing this occasion. As you all know, today marks an important day for those Grade 12 learners who have achieveed exceptionally high metric results. We have gathered here today to acknowledge and congratulate them on their hard work and academic excellence. Read Text A above. Explain the aspects of context of the situation in reference to each of the following: Field (what is the topic of the text?) Mode (is the text spoken or written?) Tenor (who is involved in creating the text; speaker/listener?)

The field of the text is its topic; in this case, the topic is the ceremony to congratulate the seniors who have achieved high results because of their hard work. The mode is both written and oral, as the speech was written but is delivered orally. The text is mainly meant as an oral presentation. With regard to tenor, there are different people involved in giving and listening to the text. The text is likely written by a principal or superintendent in the Ministry of Education. The listeners are other people in the Ministry of Education and other "stakeholders," who are people interested in the outcome of an event or process. Stakeholders in education include teachers, parents, and students who are listening to the speech. Both the speaker and listeners help to create the text when it is read out loud.
