Definition #1.
Let me know if you still have questions.
so if i was to qualify a topic in the article, in this case would i be saying why i couldn't say that i agreed or disagreed
In a way, yes ... by describing exactly why ... explaining/describing what it is about each of the main points that makes you agree or disagree.
And I imagine that you need to write an all-agreeing or an all-disagreeing response. No "fence-sitting"!!
with one of the topics i fully agree,but with a completely different topic i cant agree with because i feel that the journalist was too vague when he wrote it.
So ... to point up the vagueness, what will you do?
do i say why i think it is vague?
or explain what he could have done so that it would have been more clear?
I would ask questions, very pointed questions that point out what the author DIDN'T write. Those omitted details and/or facts are what make it all vague.
Ask lots of questions!!
