My opinion 1

A newspaper becomes less popular or does it still play an important role in people lives?

It has been more than 400 years since the world very first newspaper was published in 1605. Is it still popular among people? What lies ahead for the future of newspaper?

Personally, I feel that it is still a major source of news for not only me but also many people across the world especially in developing countries. But it faces strong competition from other types of media such as television news, the Internet. It is more significant in first world countries where there are many advanced facilities like computers. More and more people prefer to choose internet news because of the wide perspective news from across the world. All you need is to type a keyword you want to know in search engines like Google, Yahoo! And within milliseconds, millions of news can be found and read. And most of them are up-to-date and you can even know the breaking news within minutes from it happened. On the other hand, newspaper is published once a day and it is very difficult to know breaking news. Other media types, like radio news, television channels like BBC, CNN can also deliver live broadcast of important news. If you are very busy and don’t have much time to read through all news printed in tiny fonts on newspaper, you can listen radio news on the go.

But, I totally against with the view that they become an item of the past. I believe that there are many advantages over other types of media. In my opinion, the main reason why they are still preferred is the in depth analysis and full report of the whole event. Moreover, it is independent. What I mean is that we don’t need advanced technology like computer, internet, and electricity. For me, although I can access to the Internet and read many news on the internet, I still spend about one hour reading daily newspaper because I feel that the news in the newspaper are reliable and contain vast ranges of information.

But, today, people have to work very hard and work many hours a day to earn money. So, they spent less time on reading newspapers. And instead, they follow entertainment than information to relax their mind. So, newspapers should make more changes to attract such kind of people. They should include more entertainment news and make the appearance or look of the newspaper and interesting headlines to get attention. And some newspaper integrates with Internet. Some major newspapers have internet websites and accept readers’ opinion and comments about the articles in the newspaper. Some encourage users to become citizen journalists by urging them to send pictures and breaking news tip-offs using email, telephone and so on.

To sum up, as many things have changed and there will be many more changes in the future, newspapers should think of new creative and innovative ways to survive in the world of media.

Happy Birthday Singapore

Today is Singapore's 41's birthday, or National Day. So, I wish very happy birthday to Singapore and I believe she can go up to the greatest Global City in the near future. As this year national day theme - 'Our Global City, Our home', it is indeed a home away from home for me. And I love her. What I love most about her is that all the people are enjpying the peace and harmony with one another, although there are diversity of races, religions,etc. I see the unity among the people of the Lion City. Unity is Strength.

Today is also a very happy day for me, as I experienced the National Day Parade very first time. It was held at Singapore National Stadium at Kallang on 6pm today. I saw it live on TV.. What makes me more enjoyable is the national day celebraitions hosted by TP International Students, so I would like to thank all the organizers of this event. It is an unforgettable moment. Before, international students attending TP, played many games. And at 6 sharp, we all enjoyed the live brocast of NDP.

I saw a sea of red(because almost all audience were wearing red, which I think the national colour of Singapore and also my favourite colour) people of different ages celerating Singapore's birthday at National Stadium. The parade included many different performances from different groups, and what I like most was this year National Day Song, My Island Home sang by Kaira Gong, a singaporean singer. Her voice is so sweet!!! And the firework diaplay took away the breath of every one. It was very very very fabolous. I can't find any word to discribe how happy and exciting I was.

Only the sad thing, it that it was the last time held at National Stadium. Because, next year, the National Stadium will be distroyed and rebuilt as a new sport arena. In my opinion it was a place where Nadtional Day parades, live concerts and international football matchs like Malaysia cup, SEAP games were held within 30 years ago.
