2014-2015高二英语必修五Unit4测试题(外研版含答案)

详细内容

e a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find the answer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.
“You’ve got to have the interest. If you don’t like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.
Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be aurate. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.”
Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills e from experience, so you won’t walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you’ve done it long enough,” she said.
Mary said, “You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ‘Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?’”
From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.
