Then, the author again uses the method of intrigue. He notices that the following information will be more interesting than the previous abstracts. This helps him to maintain readers’ attention throughout the whole article and provide newsworthy data. Here, J. Sachs speaks about women’s attitudes toward children. In fact, most women in Bangladesh have or want to have 1-2 children. None of them desire to have many kids. Such a position is very similar to the outlook of developed countries. This fact witnesses the other similarity between Bangladesh and prosperous states. In addition, it shows that Bangladesh has all the chances to become even more successful. The author represents this story in a very detailed way. Such great attention to trifles forms the atmosphere of reality and informality in the article. As a result, readers begin to treat the narrator favorably and believe in the truthfulness of his words. Then, the author presents a conclusion in the form of a thesis. He picked all the main statements and summaries from the article and concentrate them logically and comprehensively. Such a simple structure allows a better understanding of key concepts and the main idea of the article. J. Sachs ends the article with the metaphor. He says that Bangladesh managed to put its legs on the ladder and now continues to climb every year. At the beginning of the article, he compared Bangladesh with the ‘international basket case”. However, in the end, Bangladesh looks like a worthy and developed country.
