(2022-2023·西安市高新一中期中)What do you do when you begin to read an English newspaper?
You'd better know what parts there are. Usually, there is international news, business, science and technology, entertainment or lifestyle, sports and cartoons. You can choose your favorite part to read carefully. Then, you come to the article itself. If you don't have time to read the whole article, you can just read the headline and watch the photo to get the general idea of the story.
A news article includes the body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don't have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph. A feature(专题)article is an in-depth report on an event or a person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read. Another kind of article is an opinion article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue in a fun way. Opinion articles are different from news stories that are all facts.
You should also be a critical reader. There are advertisements in newspapers. They can provide useful information about products, places, food or jobs. Remember that people make some advertisements to sell you things. You don't have to do everything advertisements tell you to do. You should be critical enough to judge which advertisements are useful and which are not.
Now let's enjoy reading English newspapers, and hope you can have a better understanding of them!
