2. Read the following extract from Jane Austen's novel Emma and answer these questions:
- What is the main purpose of the letter?
It is a marriage proposal
- What is Emma's opinion of the language and style of the letter?
''a very good letter, There weren't grammatical errors''. The language was good and unaffected. It was not very long, but very good sense, warm attachment, liberality, propriety. It isn't the style of a woman. Too strong an concise: not diffuse enough for a woman.

A sensible man ''Thinks strongly and clearly''. His thoughts naturally find proper words. Virgorous, decided, with sentiments to a certain point, not coarse.
