Warming-up
Tips:
When writing a news report, it’s important to concentrate on four elements — facts, context, impact, and emotion. How you combine these four elements will determine the success of your news story.
3. How is a news report normally organised
Warming-up
Facts:
First, you can hardly call it a news story without the facts. Otherwise, it quickly becomes an opinion piece or a lifestyle article. Not only does the public expect facts over opinions, but they also expect the journalist to follow sound fact-checking procedures.
The facts answer the 5Ws (and H): who, what, where, when, why, and how. A journalist has a responsibility to make sure the facts are accurate and reasonably complete. If you have to write a report before you get all the facts, then say so in the report.
Warming-up
Context
In news writing, context answers the question, “Why should I care ” or, “Why should I read this ” But, from the perspective of the news writer, context helps you decide what the audience needs to know. The American Press Institute cites context as a nice way to gain new readers through an entry point they can relate to. Context provides the circumstances surrounding the facts of the news story.
Warming-up
Impact
Impact touches on the “why we should care” theme too. News writing is, indeed, an art form. Once you take something off the official wire, you have to weave it into a story people will connect with. Impact keeps readers in tune beyond the headline and the lead, or opening sentence. What are the ramifications or potential consequences of this news story How will this series of events affect me and my loved ones
Warming-up
Emotion
The American Press Institute says emotion commands attention and fosters a communal feeling. Evoking emotion is the magic of news reporting. Writers must walk the fine line between cold, hard facts and a tug on emotional heartstrings.
But you must let the readers decide for themselves. For example, the American Press Institute points out you must not dictate the audience’s feelings by writing, “In a shocking, new development …” Rather, you should let them choose to be shocked on their own.

新闻报道
新闻报道作为一种常见文体,具有广泛的受众面。英语新闻受英语语言和文化背景的影响,呈现出独特的文体特征。 新闻报道的模式较为固定,一般由标题(headline)、导语(lead)和正文(body)三部分组成。
标题常被称为“新闻报道的眼睛”,好的标题能让读者眼前一亮。所以标题常常会用生动幽默的语言或是夸张的表现形式来吸引读者。
导语通常为新闻报道的首段,是新闻内容的提要。作为“新闻的灵魂”,导语往往通过新闻报道中的基本要素(即who, what, when, where, why和how)来简要介绍新闻的主题。
正文通常围绕导语中的主题进行具体而详细的说明。
因此,新闻报道的总体模式为“概括——具体模式”(General — Particular Pattern),其基本结构如下:General statement → Specific statement 1 → Specific statement 2 → Specific statement 3, etc.。
掌握英语新闻报道的文体特征,可以提高我们的英语新闻报道阅读和理解能力。

如何写新闻报道
新闻报道一般把最近发生的一件事情以最快的速度告诉公众,有时还要加以评论,所以,它兼有记叙文和议论文的特点。
比较完整的新闻报道一般由标题、主体和结尾三部分组成,但并非每一篇新闻报道都必须包括这三部分,这要根据具体的内容需要而定。
★标题一般包括正标题和副标题。正标题揭示主题或提示重要事实,副标题补充说明情况。
★主体是新闻报道的中心部分,是对新闻主要内容的阐述。
★结尾可以是对前面内容的归纳,也可以设置悬念引人深思。
【写作指导】
1. 标题对于新闻报道很重要,甚至有一个标题就是一条报道的情况。因而,标题要提炼新闻事件的“精华”,把最吸引人的地方体现出来,同时要简洁。如果需要可以在正标题下加上副标题。
2. 在写新闻报道时,一定要交代清楚新闻五要素,即五个“W”(What, Who, When, Where, Why),有时还要加上一个“H”(How)。报道只有交代清楚事件、人物、时间、地点、原因、过程等,才能使读者觉得真实、可信。
3. 新闻报道可以根据所报道的内容采用不同的结构。如可采用倒金字塔式结构,即先说结局后说原因,多用于报道一些突发事件;也可以采用时间顺序结构,多用于重大仪式现场报道等。
【写作要求】
1. 新颖。新闻报道的“新”在于事实新、材料新,要尽可能报道“第一次”发生的,“第一个”出现的事件。
2. 真实。新闻报道必须是真人真事,不能臆造。
3. 迅速、及时。新闻报道要求写新近发生的事情,最好是当天发生的,要具有时效性。
【常用表达】
★ It is reported that ...
★ On ... all the teachers and students in our school took part in ...
★ ... caused many deaths and serious injuries.
★ In order to ..., the school organized a(n) ...
★ A(n) ... was held on ...
★ ... provided us with a chance of ...
★ This is the first time in history that ...
★ The activity benefited us a lot ... / was really good for us.
★ The activity offered a good opportunity for us to ... / was highly meaningful ... / was of great significance ...
