本单元的中心话题是 “新闻”。话题依附于热身、阅读、语言学习、语言运用、听力、口语与写作等语言载体中。内容涉及新闻工作者应该具备的素质、制作新闻的基本程序以及报纸和电视节目。
“热身”(warming up)部分通过讨论将来想从事的工作，使学生了解多种职业类别，帮助学生认识报社工作人员的各种类别和所需承担的职责。重点在于“types of jobs”和 “What it involves？”
“读前 ”(Pre-reading)部分通过调查问卷引导学生思考他们眼中优秀的新闻记者应该具备的素质，为文章涉及的内容“What is needed to become a good reporter ”做了铺垫。学生通过讨论他们人生中各种“第一次 ”的经历和感受，为下一部分阅读的开展做了准备。
“阅读”(reading)部分通过周阳---一位刚刚走上新闻工作岗位的记者和他的上司胡星---一位经验丰富的资深新闻工作者之间的对话，通过阅读，引导学生了解并意识到作为新闻工作者应该具备的素质、新闻制作的基本程序以及新闻工作者在采访过程中应该注意的细节要点。通过阅读部分所设计的一些教学活动来帮助学生加深对文章内容的理解。
