Question

【題目】What do you do when you begin to read an English newspaper?

You’d better know what sections(欄、版) there are. Usually, there is international news, business, science and technology, entertainment or lifestyle, sports and cartoons. You can choose your favorite section to read carefully.

Then, you come to the article itself. If you don’t have time to read the whole article, the headline(標(biāo)題) and photo give you a general idea of the story.

Different kinds of articles

A news article includes body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don’t have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph.

A feature article is an in-depth(深度的) report on an event or person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read.

Another kind of article is an opinion(評論) article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue(問題) in a fun way. Opinion is different from news stories that are all facts.

Be a critical(批判性的) reader

There are advertisements in newspapers. They can provide useful information about products, places, food or jobs. Remember that people make advertisements to sell you things. You don’t have to do everything advertisements tell you to do. You should be critical enough to judge which advertisements are useful and which are not.
