    Hi Keasha and Nadiah,

    I thoroughly enjoyed tuning into your podcast and learning about the "critically endangered" Manchu language. The fact that you chose to elaborate on how a once dominant imperial language of the Chinese dynasty has declined to be one on the brink of extinction essentially accents how the value of ancestral tongues have truly diminished in society today. However, what I found to be the most astonishing element was the fact that of the 10 million ethnic Manchus, only 10 of them actually speak the language, which is a very very meagre statistic. All in all, this podcast was immensely enlightening as I learnt a great deal about the Manchu language. Well done!!

This is because she is a well renown pop female artist and has millions of fans. Using her as a focus point would draw attention to people who love her. And therefore, would buy the product because they think she is using it. Which makes it a reliable product. In this ad, Taylor's skin looks flawless and clear, which makes it seem like she uses the product (from the viewer's perspective). Pathos This persuades the audience to purchase the product because they want to be as gorgeous as Taylor Swift is presented in the advertisement. In the video, Taylor shows personality and confidence through the music being played, the colors and clothes (which also brings a calm and lightened feeling).
