#Task : Write a short essay of about 400 words about the below stated issue : News and You. How often do you read the paper or watch the news on TV? How important is it for you to keep up with current events?
Are there any connection between news and you? Or it’s just related with you when it is celebrity gossip and entertainment news? Honestly, for me, it’s just sometimes. I've been reading the newspaper and watch the news on TV every day in the past. But now, seriously less and even no. Two years ago, when I am still in home, I will read the newspaper and watch the news on TV every day with my dad. This is due to we have bought the annual subscription of newspaper and also affected by my dad since he will watch all section of news channel every day as long as he is at home. Maybe due to the environment factors, I get affected easily by dad and follow up with all news every day. There are lots of topic can be shared with any others in anytime.
I prefer to watch and listen to the news on TV since it is more interesting and less boredom if compared with reading news on newspaper. I will skip lots of the news and only read those news which have an attracting title. Yet, I not very like those celebrity gossip news. It’s just annoying. But now, living alone in Cyberjaya, my habit of reading newspaper everyday is gone. Now, I will only know some of the news that are publically shared on Facebook many times. There are no TV in the rented room and also no newspaper delivered and I seldom bought the newspaper. It’s just like lose all the connection with the world outside. And again, the environment factor is the big influencer.
Although there are the advancement of technology which allow us to watch the news online and also read the newspaper online, I still prefer to read the actual newspaper. This is due to the habitual of the composition of typesetting. Maybe the other language newspaper done a good job with their website and online news sharing, but the Chinese newspaper company still not so flexible. Hard to find the latest news of the day and also the whole news of the day on the website. Now, they even cut off half of the news that are visible to public because of the sales of actual newspaper are decreasing and less people buying it. The online news can be read only very simple with no much details now. And the news shared on Facebook are mostly concern about the government and celebrity which not really caught my attention.
The times of reading newspaper and watching news on TV is getting lesser and lesser and even no at all. But, luckily, when there is holidays and I get to back home, I still will read the newspaper but less to watch it on TV. Keep up with the current events is quite important for every people and also students. This is because it is the basic knowledge and also direction of the world. We need to know what is happening in the world and especially in our own country so that we are on the track with the progress of all level. Keep track with current event also essentially important to us, the design student so that we know the direction of trends flow and what is attract people now.
