As you will see from reading it, the second extract is totally different. It contains many features which are not seen in the first extract, but also a few that are so there are SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES.
Some of the features we see in EXTRACT TWO are:
*NON-INTENTIONAL or ACCIDENTAL PAUSES, shown by a '(.)' symbol. This shows that Jamie Oliver is trying to buy himself time or trying to think what to say next. This is what people do in real life - but it makes the extract sound less smooth than the first one.
*Lots of fillers such as 'er' which is where he is trying to think of things to say. Possibly this is where he is busy moving pans and so is not quite concentrating on what he is saying. You don't get this in rehearsed speech.
*HEDGING where he doesn't sound quite sure about what he is saying. He says 'sort of' and 'kinda' a lot.
*IMPERATIVES. This EXTRACT is a bit more forceful and he gives orders to the listners (Go get some). This might be more of a reflection of his personality
*Really informal in parts, might make it sound less professional (SOrt of, kinda, builders mug, you can DO rice etc)
*No real DISCOURSE MARKERS. Instead, he keeps saying 'So...' which is repetitive and shows that he hasn't really planned what he is going to say.
*DOes use some metaphors like 'Arsenal and 'secret weapon' and 'another planet' which show signs of rehearsal
*At other times he OVER USES words such as GORGEOUS showing that he can't think what to say as he is under pressure.
*SYNTHETIC PERSONALISATION - Like in the first extract (We're gathered here today)
*LOTS OF INFORMAL LANGUAGE - (gotta, kinda etc) These are part of Jamie Oliver's Sociolect but they show that he is less rehearsed and is talking more like he would talk to his friends rather than acting really professional.
*LOTS OF 'SOCIOLECT' TYPE WORDS. Just like in Extract ONE, Jamie Oliver uses words which make him likeable to his target audience (Gnarly, vibe)
*Still lots of empty adjectives (Gorgeous, exciting, beautiful)
*Bits of text which don't really make sense or their grammar is bad (So of course, how can you do it in 15 minutes). This just shows that people do make mistakes when they are not rehearsed.
*Jamie Oliver is a bit more obvious when talking to his target audience. He actually says 'I have written this for people on the go'. This might still be effective but is less well thought out than EXTRACT ONE.
*REPEATS PARTS OF THE VOICEOVER - He actually repeats the 'bi flavours, fast' bit, as if it is stuck in his head or he can't think of anything original to say.
