To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , relevant(相关的)and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct.Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear(出现)in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong.He wasn't the first.The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct ,but also relevant to its readers.People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them.That is why you care more about what happens at your school that at American schools.It is also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally , news must always be fresh.When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day.You don't want to read about news from last week !
So , now you know what makes a good news story.Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news.you can try writing a news story for our

Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions.

(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit.If you move your tips,hold your fingers over them,or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading.Then if your lips move,your will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words,hold the two sides of your book,one side with your left hand,the other side with your right hand.Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.If you move your head,place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time,you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
