传媒类背景句练习 
例句： There is growing recognition that the relationship between media and our life is much closer than ever before. 
 
Some people prefer to learn about current events from watching television news programs. Others prefer to read about current events in newspapers or on the Internet. Which do you think is better: watching the news or reading the news?
TPO-20 TASK 2
 
参考答案： 
I think that reading from the Internet or newspaper is the better method to obtain news. While watching television is more dramatic and more entertaining, this medium tends to exaggerate or focus on the theatrics of news. Sometimes, the viewer is not able to find the most objective news while TV anchors clash and argue over partisan viewpoints. On the other hand, reading the news from the newspaper and Internet provides a more objective presentation of news, because one can browse several different newspapers or Internet webpages simultaneously. 
I believe that news is supposed to be objective, and the news from the Internet and newspapers are more objective. Therefore, I think getting news from the Internet and newspaper is better. 
——《新托福真题详解——口语分卷（第一册）第二版》 
答案解析： 
第一句“I think that reading from the Internet or newspaper is the better method to obtain news.”在宾语从句中以 V-ing 作主语 的形式来引发句子，既表明自己赞同题目中哪一方的观点，又 展示了自己会使用动名词作主语的能力，是一个相对精彩的选 择。 
第 二 句“While watching television is more dramatic and more entertaining, this medium tends to exaggerate or focus on the theatrics of news.”依旧使用动名词作主语，值得模仿与学习。 从另一方面来讲，还使用了对比的方式，强调对方观点的缺陷。 在口语中，以比较级的方式来论述带有对比特质的话题是一个 好的选择。 
第 三 句“Sometimes, the viewer is not able to find the most objective news while TV anchors clash and argue over partisan viewpoints.”是举例部分，并且以最高级的方式来强调对方观点 的缺陷。 
第四句“On the other hand, reading the news from the newspaper and Internet provides a more objective presentation of news, because one can browse several different newspapers or Internet webpages simultaneously.” 用 on the other hand 来表示阐述完对立面的缺 陷后，将阐述自己观点的优势。此外，本句还使用了因果连词 because 引导的从句来说明原因。 
第 五 句“I believe that news is supposed to be objective, and the news from the Internet and newspapers are more objective.”通 过总结自己的观点并且强调关键特征 objective 来收尾。 
第六句“Therefore, I think getting news from the Internet and newspaper is better.”是以 therefore 开头的结论句，可说可不说。
