Written discourse
Last lecture, it was made known that different culture will exhibit different way of writing. If you are good at recognizing they way the sentence is structured or identify the sequence, one can tell whether the text was done by a certain culture group.
What I’ve learned is that, in class was that these different ways of writing started way back since primary school. Different teachers will input different knowledge to the student on how to write.
Also, mention during lecture by me, different writing style may also come from the way we read. Eg, I’m currently taking Bahasa and it requires me to read a lot of literature. Previously for my first few early compositions, I tend to write it like how I would normally write for Malay Language style. I really thought that I did a good writing because I have yet to get a B grade since way back, but turn out to be poor. Then I realised that I lack some sequence in my writing. I realised that I left the descriptive part of out. This I realised only after reading a few short Bahasa Stories. The way Indonesian writes, contains lots of descriptive context. So now I’ve change my style and my grade have improved.
Initially when I took up this module, I thought that the Malay and Bahasa would be similar, but turn out to be different. Although both are from Malay culture group, but still differ in some ways, like Spoken and Written.

Seems to me that you're very adaptive and perceptive and know which writing style is favored in which language. Good for you
