Reflection(6)

@Shanghai China
This English assignment is for the English Course on 9/28/2013,Sday,Block 4 given by Mr.Manno.

First, to answer’ What did you like about the Journalism unit?’

The answer must be the imaginary news article part!!!! That’s amazing! Well, the reason why I think must be that I like to create something interesting, I like fiction and I think I’m good at imaging things. When I was writing that article, I felt free. And I only used about 1 hour to finish that. It’s fantastic to write such an article.

The second question is tricky-‘ What didn’t you like?’

I have to say that finding some news values from my beat-school administration is really hard for me. This beat doesn’t like other beats such as gossip or canteen. It’s easy to find some interesting things and fun facts from the interview. But mostly, the school administration’s events are serious and formal. From the interview with the principal Mr. Eaton he also said that he couldn’t remember something really funny in his work life.

That’s why I dislike it.

What did I learn?

Since I’ve never written something like this before, of course, I learned a lot from this unit. I’ve learned that how to write a news article without any personal opinion. Though it’s really hard to do so at the very beginning. Thanks to Mr. Manno that he taught me how to do so. Mr. Manno also taught me how to use proper words in an news article such as we cannot use ‘things’ ‘something’ and any oral words. That’s not formal and also not clear. Readers need to read a clear informational news article.

Another essential thing I learned is how to structure a news article, what do a news article need. A clear structured article can help reader to receive information better.

This project also improved my interview skill. I also put my public speaking skills into my interviews. That’s really fun to conduct an interview with other people! Thanks to Mr. Eaton and Mr. Raina for their time to have interviews with me!
