Week 4_Task 1_News & I

Write a short essay of about 400 words about the below stated issue: news and you. How often do you read the paper or watch the news on TV? How important is it for you to keep up with current events?

  News is a form of communication which informs us the current events. News may refer as message which provides the information and the details of an incident. It will value the fact and inform us what are happening around the world. News is very important because it helps us to get in touch with the world around us. Without knowing any news, we do not know what is happening in our country which lack of information and knowledge.

  Obviously, the news on internet can’t be 100% trusted, either newspaper or tv news. Somehow, newspaper and TV news are more trustful since it’s more official. Online news might be edited, twisted and added with fake information. As a reader, I always remind myself to be a smart audience. In conclusion, I truly think that I am selfish and lacking of updated knowledge but its better not to approach them and make myself down. 

  Although there are the advancement of technology which allow us to watch the news online and also read the newspaper online, I still prefer to read the actual newspaper. This is due to the habitual of the composition of typesetting. Maybe the other language newspaper done a good job with their website and online news sharing, but the Chinese newspaper company still not so flexible. Hard to find the latest news of the day and also the whole news of the day on the website. Now, they even cut off half of the news that are visible to public because of the sales of actual newspaper are decreasing and less people buying it. The online news can be read only very simple with no much details now. And the news shared on Facebook are mostly concern about the government and celebrity which not really caught my attention.

  The times of reading newspaper and watching news on TV is getting lesser and lesser and even no at all. But, luckily, when there is holidays and I get to back home, I still will read the newspaper but less to watch it on TV. Keep up with the current events is quite important for every people and also students. This is because it is the basic knowledge and also direction of the world. We need to know what is happening in the world and especially in our own country so that we are on the track with the progress of all level. Keep track with current event also essentially important to us, the design student so that we know the direction of trends flow and what is attract people now.
