The DN that the volunteers had to analysis was given in Chapter 8. For each volunteer, we have shown the way he/she segmented the DN and the corresponding RST analysis. Wherever possible, we have used RSTTool to draw the trees.
RST analysis of volunteer 1
The segments in this RST analysis are not in the same sequence as they appear in the DN.
[We want]1 [to convince the reader to book a holiday in the country described.]2 [Therefore, on the first page, we'll place a catchy title and a picture showing a leisurely activity or scenery that this country is famous for. The next page will begin with a greeting in the local language and its translation. Five to six short paragraphs will follow this, each describing attractions that will appeal to a wide range of holiday-makers;]5 [some of these attractions will be familiar and some unique so as to distinguish this country from the rest. The first of these paragraphs will include a sentence about the country's geographical location and some of the paragraphs will be enhanced using illustrations. Next, brief details about the climate, currency and languages spoken will be given to inform the interested reader (who has read this far).]6 [Finally, contact details of reputable travel agents and a URL for more information about the country will be provided for readers]4 [who may now be considering booking their holidays.]3

RST analysis of volunteer 2
The RS-tree above is well thought out. The only problem with it is that some of the arrows in the relationships are pointing the wrong way.

RST analysis of volunteer 6
There appears to be 14 segments in the DN and only 12 in the RS-tree. It is possible that the segmentation was misinterpreted by us because there was a lot of writing (and crossing out) done by this volunteer.
