How to Read English News(20K+1CD)

News English makes frequent use of colloquialisms, idioms and phrases, and it occasionally uses grammar in peculiar ways and vocabulary and phrases that the learner might not encounter in everyday English. Without a guide, the learner may soon be frustrated.
This book is your guide. It will guide you through the fundamentals of English news media; from layout and design to meaning, grammar and metaphor. It is divided into three units.
Unit One breaks down the structure of English news media, explaining how the form enhances the functions. It describes the basic layout and organization of news resources and the characteristics of News English that the reader must be familiar with.
Unit Two explores the content of English news media. This unit decodes the peculiar language of headlines and deciphers the run-on sentences of news leads. Expanding on News English, the unit also includes introductions to the Features and Opinion articles.
Unit Three puts what has been learned into practice. The chapter covers topics ranging from Politics and Economy to Sports and Health. Each chapter includes two short excerpts from news articles, along with 15 multiple choice/true and false questions and a list of important vocabulary. An extended commentary guides the learner through the nuances of composition, language use and meaning.
With diligence and practice, the learner will soon be ready to embark on a journey into the world of English Language new media.
