Present your report
Dear sir,
I went to listen to two speeches about the ways people get news. From the first speaker, I learnt there are different types of news, such as sports results, weather, and current affairs, and some of them are more suited to sources like radio, newspapers, and television.
Possible example
There is no doubt that the Internet is becoming increasingly popular, but the number of people who get their news from the Internet is still small. I have collected some figures from two charts, each of which is a survey of 500 people. According to the two charts, the percentage of people who first turn to the Internet for news on emergencies, opinions, weather, the latest news and sports results is respectively only 2 per cent, 5 per cent, 5 per cent,4 per cent and 5 per cent.
However, for news on emergencies and the latest news, the percentage of people who turn first to local TV comes to 53 per cent and 48 per cent. Why don’t people first go to the Internet to get news? The second speaker gave the following reasons: first, the Internet is still not accessible to everyone; second, information on it is often uncontrolled and false so people do not always trust the news online.
Yours,
Lily

Step 2:asking more detailed questions
1. What is the most popular way to get news for people under 18 years old, people from 18 to 50 or people 50 and older?
For people under 18, the most popular way to get news is from television. People from 18 to 50 would most like to get news from newspapers as well as television while people over 50 prefer getting news by listening to the radio.
Asking more specific questions
2. What news source do you think is fastest growing?
I think that Internet news is fastest growing.
3. Who is the Internet mostly used by?
The people between 15 and 40 years old, especially those who are university-educated.
4. What do people think are the best Internet news sites?
5. How can I know which Internet news sites to trust?
The ones that are linked to or are part
of major TV networks.
You can look for supporting facts through
cross-checking facts with other sites,
especially the sites run by organizations
you already know.
6. The most popular way to get news is to read newspaper, but some people have switched to the Internet. Do you know why? What do you think are the problems with newspapers?
I think it is mainly because newspapers are too big and most of them are messily printed. News on the Internet is updated each hour while news in newspapers can not be updated.
7. Why do you think some people prefer television?
8. Why do you think some people still prefer radio?
I think people prefer television because they
can see the most important and current news
appear on TV with ‘real’ images as fast as
possible.
These people can listen to news while driving
or doing housework at the same time. No time
is wasted.
