NEWS TIME - you're a reporter



It's news time! All you have to do is WATCH TV, read the News on the Internet, in the newspaper, listen to the radio and then in about 50 words, let your colleagues know about something interesting, exciting, not necessarily bad news (we have a lot  of that). Explain why you chose that news a  mention the source you used.

Eg. Although not necessarily breaking news, I read on Yahoo news about a thrilling event: Prince Williams' wedding with Kate Middleton in spring or summer next year. William offered Kate his mother's blue diamond ring as engagement present. There are many speculations about her wedding dress, the church where the event will take place. Their wedding day, April 29th has been declared a Bank holiday. Sales and travels are expected to boost during that period.

 Prince William and Kate Middleton

Now it's your time. Keep us posted! Don't forget to rephrase the event in simple language.

  9. I read on "descopera" newsletter about a military project launch by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The project it's about a vehicle that drives like a car but at the touch of a button the car turns into helicopter. This vehicle could replace the old humvee used by US. army in Afghanistan and Irak. The prototype of this vehicle could be ready by 2015.
    I chose this news because I am passionate of military vehicles and I think that this is a briliant idea that will save many lives.

  13. A teenager from Berlin was very sorry for stealing songs from Lady Gaga,Kelly Clarckson and other singers from the Internet. The hacker sold them online as some of them were previously unrealesed. The 18-year-old says: "I'm sorry for everything I've done — I never thought it would go so far... we were only interested in the music." Now he might go to jail.
    I chose this story because I found it incredibly funny,though a bit too serious (the jail part). My source was Yahoo News (ong.yahoo.com).

  22. Good evening
    We interrupt you're regular program with a shocking news.
    The year of 2011 began with a proportional air disaster.A terrible plane crash has occurred near to town Orumiyeh in northwest Iran. Of 105 people on board only 26 escaped alive.77 people died and another 2 were missing.Although Iranian authorities have not yet announced the reason of the catastrophe, it seams that the bad weather caused the crash. The pilot tried all sorts of maneuvers but without success.

  25. As a want to-be reporter myself I would like to raise a question. Since all the bad news are about someone murdering someone else, or the economy going down, and all of the good news are about celebrities.
    I want to know where the person who created Live Leak is and how he is trialed. In case you have forgotten, it was all over the news 2 weeks ago. Someone knew how to hack in the government’s computer and publish some “juicy” fact and conversations between high members of the state. What happened there? Is he already dead by treason or by being a triple, quadruple agent?

  26. Really, in 2010, for 6 months i was an moderator at our local televizion, DAReghin TV, and i presented here for 6 months the "School TV" Show.

    News:
    Both City Hall and the builders Bogle (Germany) and Astaldi (Italy) promised completion of the project "National Arena from May next year.
    At first glance you say that's ready but is not. It will be the largest stadium in Romanian soccer, built according to the highest standards, with a capacity of 55,600 seats.

  28. Vild,
    yes, reading about weather is really useful and informative.
    Do you think all news are useful? Why do people listen to news then?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well,No, not all news are important.There are a lot of useful news.
    (I hate news.)
    I think that there are many people who listen the news because they have nothing else to do.And there are people who listen the news because they are interested in news,they want to know what happens in theyr country.
