Part1的一个新题：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：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 prer 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 prer 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&aposs any good show in town.

�

　　I like international news because I like to keep up-to-date about what&aposs going on in the world in case I&aposm 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&apost think they are interested because it is soo depressing and kids look for humour in TV also they would be too young to understand what was going on.

�

　　There could be an announcement on the News about a Nuclear Bomb being on its way here and a lot of people would still stay , they are like: "Oooh, turn it over....... Its all doom and gloom on the news." (doom and gloom: A deeply pessimistic outlook or feeling. 悲观，黯淡.)

�

　　4. Are old people and young people interested in the same (kinds of) news? (Why?/Why not?)

�

　　If they aren&apost, they should be. A young person can learn so much from a senior, and a senior can learn a lot from a young person also. But on average, I would say kids like stuff about sports music and entertainment more than seniors do.

�

　　It really depends on the individual and not their age. For example: I know young people who are very interested in global events and some elderly interested in celebrity watching, and vice-versa. It is individual prerence. (vice-versa: 反之亦然.)

�

　　5. How does the news affect people?

�

　　News will affect people&aposs expectations about the future. They will rearrange and adapt their plans to the changes they get from the news. For instance, a large number of people keep an eye on what&aposs going on in the stock market..........

�

　　News influences people by only reporting certain things and leaving out parts that could matter. One sided news or journalism isn&apost news but propaganda in my opinion. It&aposs like the good old saying LeLe always mentioned: Some people would rather believe the lies of Satan than the truth of God. 新闻只是通过报道某一些事情或者报道部分事情来影响人们。在我看来：片面之词的新闻或报道不是新闻而是宣传或导向。就像乐静常提到的那句谚语：人们宁愿相信撒旦的谎言，也不去相信上帝的真理。
