关于报纸的英语短文.docx

关于报纸的英语短文We can also feel the change and development of society, and learn about political, social, and economic facts. In this way, we can keep pace with the world. 我们电感觉到社会的变化和发展，了解到了政治、社会和经济各方而的情况。这样我们就可以和世界的步调保持一致。There is an old Chinese saying: "A scholar need not leave his home to know what's going on in the world." While newspapers do not carry the latest, up-to-the minute world news, they give us a great deal of useful knowledge一句中国古谚说：秀才不出门，能知天下事。虽然报纸来不及刊载最新、最近的世界新闻，但是却能提供我们非常多有用的知识。Reading newspapers is, in my opinion, a must for a modern man. Should Newspapers Be Replaced? With the development of our society,changes occur everyday. Every morning we get up only to find that science and technology have simultaneously bumped into our room and soon spread to the whole world. Digital camera has replaced camera;MP3 in place of Discman and Walkman; Intelligence administrating society instead of man-administrating community. Surely the media field has also been influenced. The traditional way of printing news through newspapers has now been confronted with the never-met challenge. We begin to wonder, Should the news paper be replaced? Some people hold that the newspaper is bound to be media of the past. To start with, time plays the most important role.As is shown, what has been in the newspaper is outdated. That is to say, if we want to approach the latest news, newspaper is simply not a good way. For example, on Sept. 11, the moment the event took place, Internet and TV followed right away.Thats just what technology has brought us. To follow is its limitation in reporting news. No newspaper can present all aspects of our life, for each serves a different goal. That means we have to consult different newspapers to meet our different needs.Compared with other ways of media, computer, for instance,through which we can get everything we want to know with only a little tapping of our fingers, is superior. Quite on the contrary, others hold the opinion that even with the development of science and technology, newspaper, as symbol of the traditional media, wont disappear, for some of its advantages cant be replaced. First of all, its convenient to carry about wherever you are. Newspapers can be easily packed in your suitcase, and can be bought everywhere. How to imagine carrying a computer, only for several pieces of news? Second,newspapers offer a free choice for its readers. Having a news paper, you can select what you do or do not want to read while TV or radio or even computer will probably confine your eyes to those that you regard as rubbish. Last, newspapers offer comments. Generally speaking, newspapers, especially formal ones,include formal remarks on the important events that provide you with a better understanding. Concerning those two opposed opinions, I support the latter. Though the highly developed science and technology influence almost every corner of the world and quicken the pace of globalization which makes the idea of "sharing the source" come true, newspaper, as the traditional way of media, cannot be abolished, not only because of its irreplaceable advantages but its collectability and its inner charm of witnessing the good old days. The form changes, but the spirit never. Uses of a Newspaper What are the uses of a newspaper? The primary use of a newspaper is its informative function. It informs the public of news. Every day, by means of newspaper, people receive the most fresh news on the world, national, and local events. Newspapers also warns the public of dangers of happenings like storms to come, diseases which can be spread, dangerous prisoners who come out from a prison and might hurt people. Without newspapers we might face these dangers with no warning in advance. Another use of newspapers is to instruct. They teach us how to cook a dish, tell us how to deal with money, and show us the way to start a business, and many others. A newspaper is an inexpensive, lifelongteacher that comes to our homes every day. Besides, newspapers keep us pleasantly interested in things. Humorous stories, funny talks, sports and interesting articles are printed in newspapers all the year round. We can enjoy them as we like. In the end, newspapers provide space for advertisements. Businesses can tell people about their special sales, new stores, services, and various goods by printing their advertisements in the newspapers. Newspapers are probably the world's greatest and most popular way to receive daily news. But not only do they inform us, they also warn us, teach us, entertain us, and advertise for us. These are important uses that can be of great help to the public every day. informative function信息功能 copyright inexpensive?inik'spensiva廉价的；花费不多的 lifelong'laifl a毕生的；终身的 entertain ?ent+'tein v使娱乐 advertise'$dv+taiz v为做广告 The newspaper and network have something in common.Both of them are a carrier of current affairs and they both play a important role in people's daily life. However,the newspaper and the network are different from each other.Firstly,the news on the Internet is immediate which means the news is the latest while the news on the newspaper is always left behind.Secondly,the amount of news on the Internet is larger than it on the newspaper.We all know that a newspaper is just some pieces of paper and it can not hold that much content unlike the network.And thirdly,the network is more comprehensive than the newspaper.We can search all kinds of information on the Internet. At last,we should make good use of both of them to enrich our knowledge. Nowadays,people in the modern society are eager to gain more information,which results in the development of the newspaper and Internet.However,when we compare newspaper with Internet,which one is better usually brings about a hot debate. When presenting the difference between them,the most obvious one is that if you need to preserve or look up information,it is more convenient turning to the internet instead of a pile of paper.Furthermore,how can you acquire what you want by newspaper without any expenses?In contrast,the Internet is haven access to by everybody with no extra pay.Apparently,Internet has its own weeknesses.That is,anyone who is willing to share ideas,regardless of profession, occupation,and level of education,is permitted to write articles,while the publishers of newspaper are more strict. In spite of quantities of distinctions,both of them fix attention on current affairs,and they both publish attractive headlines and pictures.What's more,advertisements are important for them to earn profits. As far as i'm concerned,whether the former or latter contribute to our life.Therefore,we need both.
