  Did you ever tell somebody about something that had happened at work or school that day? If so, you were reporting that event.You may think being a reporter means simply getting one's facts straight and telling a story that's of broad, general interest.But actually it's not so easy.

  To be a good reporter, you need to be able to read, write, speak and listen effectively.You also need to be able to ask good questions.So making your communication skills the best they can be is quite important if you want to he a good reporter.Keep a notebook or a journal, and remember to practice noting down what happens, whenever and wherever it happens.

  In addition, you should obey the following rules.Strive for accuracy.When an issue is debatable, do your best to cover both sides.Don't assume things, and never make up details; reporters are supposed to seek and report the facts.Lying, making up stories or quotes, or misquoting someone will damage your credibility(信誉).

  Avoid expressing personal opinions.As a reporter your job is to report the facts so that others can form their own opinions.Make sure you present all the important details without twisting them to your own viewpoint.

  Generally, a story starts with who, what, where, when, why and how.Build details from there, beginning with the most important information and ending with the least important.By including the most important information first, you allow your editor to cut the back of the story if it runs too long.Seek out stories you find interesting.You can report on current events, or you can do feature stories, which are usually of a more general interest.

  Carry a camera and a tape recorder so that you have them on hand whenever you need them.Be prepared to turn over your notes.Your news publisher may want to check your information before publishing it.

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be 36. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her 37 came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a 38 together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men gave an 39 that their names were Wealth, 40 and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and 41 with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was 42and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with money,talking and laughing.“With riches,we buy new houses,expensive furniture,and colourful clothing. We will look much better in the eyes of both ourselves and our neighbours ”he said. And his wife wanted to invite Health; but their daughter-in-law 43 they should invite Love so that their home would be full of warmth. “With that,we will feel much better in our family and our neighbourhood as well. That’s of more importance.”she argued. 44 the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman 45 and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love 46 and started walking toward the house.
The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Health: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied 47: "If you had invited Wealth or Health, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Health!"

I have a good memory of my grandfather,Jack. He was sitting in his armchair in the front room.

 I sat next to him. We were reading aloud,our heads bent over the page in front of us,a finger marking the words;separated by seven decades,brought together by words. It's a common scene in British families;however,in our case,the usual order of things is reversed(颠倒).Granddad had been blind since I was tiny,so I was reading to him.When reading aloud,people usually read something that's of interest to the listener. So I didn't read children's books;I read the sorts of things Granddad liked to hear about. Much of the vocabulary in Granddad’s reading material was far beyond me. When I met unfamiliar words,I'd spell them out.

   Granddad would help me. It must have been painful for him to hear news;but he never hurried me along or complained. Our reading wasn't really about getting knowledge. It was a way for us to spend time together.

My grandfather wasn't always blind. He had been a good carpenter(木匠).The first Christmas of my parents' marriage,he built my mother a bookcase,which now belongs to my son Jonah,providing a link between four generations.

I was a fortunate child;I spent a lot of time with my grandfather,and he opened the world to me in a particular way. Reading was our way of building a relationship that has had a lasting effect on me. In the school holidays,I sometimes accompanied him on trips to the seaside with the local association for the blind. This might seem strange,but I felt that my personal value was realized because I could finally do something for Granddad.

A decade later,I found a position in a nursing home,which reminded me of my early experiences;reading to senior citizens was a connection back to Granddad. More than simple conversation,reading aloud is a connection between two individuals and it can have a big emotional(情感的)effect on elderly people.
