Ironie & versteckte Meinung

Ironie & versteckte Meinung

Some writers say the opposite of what they mean. Watch for:

  • exaggerated praise next to a bad fact: Toll, noch mehr Werbung!
  • Na super or Wie schön with a negative fact
  • rhetorical questions: Wer braucht schon drei Stunden Talkshow am Abend? (= nobody)

In Lesen Teil 4, decide on what the person means, not on single positive words.
