Answer and Explanation:

The technical text is a text that is usually written by an expert on the subject that will be addressed in the text in a denotative, formal way, using specific and technical terms. Although I am not an expert, I recently wrote a technical text for my website, where I talked about, research. the functioning, impact and importance of vaccinations. In this text, I used a formal language, and technical terms from the areas of science, biology, technology, microbiology and molecular science, which were all researched in safe and verified research sources. Although I used technical terms, I presented the meaning of all of them, as it aimed to attract a wide audience of readers.

The purpose of my text was to present to a suspicious and skeptical public, the security that vaccines provide and how important it is that all people are properly vaccinated. In other words, we can say that the purpose of my text was to persuade the public in favor of vaccines. For that, I showed logical concepts and scientific facts.

I believe that the text has a high degree of relevance for the target audience, since it seeks to exclude the common doubts among people who do not believe in the importance of vaccination.
