In relation to text types and genres, classify the assertions below into true (T) or false (F):

( ) A genre is a type of text, defined by its purpose and intended audience and identified by its format, style and language. An advertisement, a letter, an e-mail and a fairy tale are all examples of genres.
( ) Text types, on the other hand, represent groupings of texts which are similar in linguistic form, irrespective of genre. For instance, Hammond and colleagues (1992) classified the genre recipe as being of the procedure text type, and the genre student essay as being of the expository text type.
( ) Let’s take the ‘genre’ of advertisements for example. The purpose of an advertisement is to persuade the reader to buy something. Therefore, the format is attractive with pictures and few words. The style is direct and persua-sive, and the language uses short, simple sentences with powerful vocabulary.
( ) Teaching genre features do not help set the context for reading but, for writing, knowing genre features provide learners with a starting point and ensure cohesion.
( ) Teachers should use a range of genres and text types that match learners’ age, interests and needs.
