TASK FOUR Discuss with a partner whether opening a General-specific (GS) text with some statistics is possible in your field of study. Why are such openings potentially interesting for readers? Now look at this GS opening from a student paper in Economics and answer the questions below. 1 Between 1992 and 1995, an international lysine cartel that included five companies illegally colluded on prices around the world. 2 Lysine is an amino acid used as a feed additive for enhancing muscle growth in livestock. 3 Prior to the collusive agreement, worldwide sales of lysine were over $600 million annually and this figure increased by $200 million following the price-fixing arrangement. 1. What message is the author trying to convey in the first three sentences? 2. The purpose of this paper was to examine the extent to which economic models on collusion describe collusion in the lysine industry. Do you think this is an effective opening? Why or why not? 3. What is the purpose of Sentence 2? How important is this sentence?
