We are here today to discuss the ways that people get their news.
Most people turn to several different sources to learn what is happening in their local community, or around the world. They are newspapers, TV, radio and, more recently, the Internet.There are different types of news. Some kinds of news are better found in certain sources than in others. As examples, I will discuss sports results, the weather, and recent events.
Sports results do not change once the event is over. Fans often do not need or want to see pictures of the games; they simply want to know the scores. For this type of news, radio and newspapers arethe most suitable. The weather, however, is something which changes all the time. Therefore, a place to get news which is often updated, like the Internet or radio, is the best choice. Recent events can be covered in many ways, and what people choose often has to do with what type of news they want. For example, people wanting to know the top stories will probably watch TV news programmes.These only include the most important news. Some people prefer a wider range of views, and will probably prefer the Internet or a newspaper. Other people who drive or travel long distances to work often don’t have the time in the morning or evening to watch TV or read a paper. They like to listen to the radio while they travel to and from their offices.Answers A radio (2) scores

As the final speaker today, I would like to share with you some of the conclusions of our research. We wanted to know if the Internet would become the most popular source of news for people. We have found that although the Internet has become more and more popular, the number of people who get news from the Internet compared to radio or TV is stillsmall. While the Internet is a popular tool, it is still not as easily accessible as newspapers, TV and radio, and due to the huge amount of false information on the Internet, people do not always trust the news they find there.Answers B1 small 2 accessible 3 trustWriting about

There is no denying that the invention of the Internet is definitely one of the greatest ones people have ever met. Its widespread use can prove how this innovation affects people's lives. Thanks to the Internet, it makes us have access to more information in the world. We can receive the latest information right away even if we are extremely far away from the places where the news and incidents happened.
