今天是9月的第一个考试日。目前为止，已掌握的新话题有一个，是Part1的：News。其实有些考生可能对这个Topic并不是很陌生，早在Part2话题卡：<Describe a Newspaper>后面的Part3问题中就出现过新闻话题的讨论。只不过这次放在Part1中，难度小了很多，考到的几率却大了很多。Part3话题降低难度，放入Part1进行考察，口语考试这样的变化趋势越来越明显……

1. What are the different ways people get news? (简单谈一下大众传媒的多种方式就可以了.)

Mass media is the most important channel through which we get the news. Newspapers, TV, Radio and magazines. Nowadays, Internet offers us a much easier access to the information. Sometimes our friends like to talk about daily events, which provides another way for us to get news.

2. What types of news do you like?  (对types的理解不同，回答的方法也不一样.)

从传播渠道上分：TV news, Radio News, Internet News.......

• I prefer TV news to the radio news. I can get a better understanding of the news on TV because I can see the vivid pictures and images. In addition, I feel more convinced of the news through watching some TV interviews.

从新闻内容上分：Local, Entertainment, Finance, Sports, Politics...

• I prefer local news. because it relates to my day to day stuff. To see if there are any crimes in my area I need to be aware of, to know what the weather will be like, & to see if there's any good show in town.
• I like international news because I like to keep up-to-date about what's going on in the world in case I'm going on vacation, or need to do business abroad. I also like it because it teaches me about other cultures and that way learn a lot about human psychology.

3. Do you think children like (= are interested in) the news? (Why?/Why not?)

No I don't think they are interested because it is soo depressing and kids look for humour
