2.When important events are happening around the world,most people turn to traditional media sources,such as CNN and BBC for the news.However,during the war in Iraq in 2003,many people followed the war from the point of view of an unknown Iraqi citizen who called himself"Salam Pax"(Salam Pax means peace).Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war,and posted it on his website.Pax's online diary was a kind of website known as a"blog".Blogs are online diaries,usually kept by individuals,but sometimes by companies and other groups of people.They are the fastest growing types of website on the Internet.
A blog differs from a traditional website in several ways.Most importantly,it is updated much more regularly.Many blogs are updated every day,and some are updated several times a day.Also,most blogs use special software or websites,which can help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs.
There are many different kinds of blogs.The most popular type is an online diary of links where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting,with a few comments about each one.Other types are personal diaries,where the writer talks about their life and feelings.Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.
There is another kind of blogging,called"moblogging",short for"mobile blogging".
Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos,which are posted instantly to the Internet.The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student on the Internet.Many people were shocked by what the student did,and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools.
Many people think that as blogs become common,news reporting will rely less on big media companies,and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet.They think that then the news will be less like a lecture,and more like a conversation,where anyone can join in.

24hours in western Sydney:what to do,where to go On a recent weekend,my boyfriend and I decided to explore the area for the first time. Friday 6p.m.-Check in at Atura Blacktown hotel After an easy 40-minute train trip from Central Station to Blacktown (about 5one way with the Opal smartcard),we catch a taxi (about 20)to western Sydney's newest hotel,the Atura Blacktown.It's a sleek but welcoming hotel with an open-plan lobby that incorporates an inhouse restaurant and a comfortable lounge area.Upstairs,we quickly warm to our modern guestroom,which features reliable,free WiFi,free movies on a large wall-mounted TV,and in the bathroom Malin+Goetz toiletries (洗漱用品).It's good value at about 160for a king room. 8p.m.-Dinner and a drive-in movie The hotel's Roadhouse Bar and Grill has an upscale menu (mains 25-40per person) but a casual atmosphere,with an open kitchen and families seated at several tables.We've been told not to fill up on dinner so we reluctantly leave our tender scotch fillet and expertly pan-fried barramundi unfinished.At the reception,we pick up keys to the hotel's white Cadillac,which is parked out front,and drive around the corner to the"Skyline Drive-In ( 20for one car with two passengers). Saturday 9a.m.-Feasting in Bonnyrigg Everywhere we go,there is food.At the temple,we watch a famous Laotion chef prepare pawpaw salad,while at the mosque we are offered feather-light fairy floss.Later,in a low-ceilinged Asian grocer,we are fed sublime rice-paper rolls by a proprietor who speaks five languages.Those who dismiss ordinary Australians as conservative and intolerant have clearly not visited Bonnyrigg. 6p.m.-People-watching at The Emporium In Parramatta,the venue (场所) of the moment is The Emporium,a 150-seat exposed-brick space with a mod-Oz menu which leans Mediterranean.Unlike many of the more casual places we visit over the weekend,The Emporium has a decidedly grown-up atmosphere,full of well-dressed couples and smart wait staff.Dishes like a delicate stew of Moreton Bay bugs ( 36)and truffle-stuffed chicken breast (also 36)are delicious.Don't expect to get a table on Saturday night unless you book ahead. |
A.216.
B.226.
