We can get news from many places — TV channels (频道), radios, newspapers and the Internet. Now let’s look at two kinds of news: TV news and news on the Internet.
Many people like TV news because we can see and hear real people.
Also, TV news has better pictures and sound. Another advantage is that someone has already chosen the most important news. We just sit back and watch. However, TV news may not be updated (更新) as fast as that on the Internet.
As for news on the Internet, one big advantage is that we can see it at any time. The information is updated all the time. We can even share the page with others easily. But on a news website, the sound and videos are sometimes not so vivid (生动的) as what we can see and hear on TV.

A TV program has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters (汉字).
The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic help.
CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants (参与者) on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70% of adults in the audience (观众) were unable to remember how to write the words “chan chu”.
Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, they don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters.” Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show said. He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.
Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, “Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is very likely that you will forget them.”

In China, television is popular. Many people spend most of their spare time watching it. It has a huge influence on people’s lives. Is all this television good for us or bad for us?
As is known to all, television is one of the most important ways of getting information, such as the news all over the world, history, culture and interesting stories. It provides us with a more lively way to discover the outside world. Also, we can see great movies, operas and cartoons. Therefore, television is not only a way we learn about the world, but also a good entertainment.
However, many people think television is bad for us. They say that all the violence on TV makes people violent. Violence can give children bad ideas. TV can also make people lazy. Instead of doing outdoor activities, they usually sit in front of the screen for hours enjoying the funny shows and cartoons without a break.
In general, the problem is not television, but the programs we choose to watch. We have learned how to choose the best in newspapers, books and magazines. Now we have to learn to do with television programs, too. After all, it’s our choice.

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through (浏览) magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?
About 2,000 years ago, paper was invented in China. Then people learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, they could only write books by hand. So, books were expensive and rare (珍贵的) at that time. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China and it developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century. Then people could print books quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today with the help of the Internet we can connect and share information quickly. We can also read newspapers and magazines online. But will the computer replace (替代) books one day? No, I don’t think the poster of Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer of two metres high!

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
