写作范文
解读题目是难点:
newsstories和news是有什么区别么?
笔者的解读:
1)newsstories会去探究某个新闻事件背后的来龙去脉和各种细节。比如西方国家比较有名的《60minutes》,是解读新闻事件背后的具体事情的,就内容而言,比简单的newsreporting详细。
2)而news呢,就是纯粹的新闻播报,是流水账。粗线条的方式告诉读者、观众或者听众*近发生了什么,而不会去探究新闻事件背后的具体情况,比如央视的《新闻联播》。
3)然而,题目的提问部分,又没有针对newsstories提问。所以,搞不清楚newsstories和news的区别,仿佛也不要紧,只要针对题目的提问部分展开讨论就可以了。
以下是示范文:
