【推荐2】The 2022 Winter Olympics is coming! How would you report it if you were a young journalist?

On Oct 22, Chen Wenjie from TEENS came to our school and gave us a talk on how to write a good news story. It helps us write news reports about the Winter Olympics.

First, she told us some basic information, such as the differences between hard news (硬新闻) and soft news (软新闻). She also talked about how to make the news more eye-catching-we can use at tractive headlines or funny illustrations (插图), and we need to choose interesting angles (角度) to write the story.

With this knowledge, I thought about how to report the Winter Olympics. For example, if I want to report news about skiing, I can interview some skiers who are preparing for the Winter Olympics. I can ask them how hard they practice every day, and what their goals are for the Winter Olympics. If I can find a foreign athlete, I can also ask them about their trip to China. Do they like Chinese food? Do they enjoy traveling in Chinese cities? Their experiences may provide us with many new angles about this event.

The last step, as Chen said, is to organize the content we have interviewed into an article. The first sentence should be interesting enough to attract the readers. And there should be many details in the article. You can also make an outline (提纲) before writing.

Students benefited (得益于) a lot from the speech. Student Cao Yizou said, “How to tell good stories is a very important skill. Even if I may not become a reporter, it will be useful for writing in the future.”

【推荐3】You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative(消极的) people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

When you communicate with positive(积极的) people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you. You feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

1. How can negative people have effect on us?

A．By telling US the nature of life.	B．By influencing our emotion.
C．By comparing their attitude to life with ours.	D．By changing our way of thinking.
