Today our teacher explained about a new material, namely "News Item". News items are texts that contain information about events or events that are newsworthy and considered important. We were given a file containing a YouTube link regarding news item material. Apart from the YouTube link, there is also a ppt link which contains material regarding news items. The file also contains practice questions that we will work on after getting an explanation of the material.
After we got an explanation of the material regarding the meaning, structure, purpose and rules of the language, we were given the task of doing practice questions. There are 5 questions about analyzing the structure of the text and 10 multiple choice questions. We are given approximately 10-15 minutes for each question. After that, we discussed these questions together with the teacher and collected them to be given a grade.
In this material it is quite fun, we come to know what is the meaning, purpose, structure, and language rules in news items. News items have the objective of providing information to readers or listeners regarding the latest/current and factual events. By studying news item material it really helps us to train to analyze an informative text.
