Quang's answers (he had some technical problem so I posted his answers for him)
ReplyDeleteI am a person who really like surfing the Internet, so it can be easily inferred that I read news on the Internet frequently.
In my opinion, the most significant difference between newspapers and its online versions is the flexibility in both time and loads of information. More clearly, I believe that the readers do not only concern about the variety of news but also they care about the relevance of news. Moreover, if readers wants to reads an old but important news, the online version can assist them effectively since there is an array of related links when we open a news webpage.
However, there are still some inconveniences in reading onlines news. The typical one may come from the connection with the Internet. In the case that I must move to an isolated area, no Internet connection means no way to update the e-newspapers/magazines. Anyhow it is a mirror feature in comparison with its huge advantages.
In general, I strongly believe that reading news online will become more popular in the near future. Furthermore, we can make use of this media to improve English skills, especially reading and writing.
1. Yes, I do everyday. Actually, I recently hardly read printed magazines and newspapers.
ReplyDelete2. Printed magazines or newspapers are tangible. But e-magazines and e-newspapers are more up to date and flexible.
3. It's convenient for me to search information I want to read. Furthermore, information resources in the Internet are plentiful.
4. Using computer to read articles makes me feel tired and headache all the time.
5. Reading e-newspapers will help me to improve my reading skills, enrich my vocabulary and broaden my knowledge.
1. Yes, I read news everyday. My favorite e-newspaper is vnexpress.net. I often visit pcworld.com.vn to reads news related to ICT too.
ReplyDelete2. For e-newspapers/magazines, I need a computer with internet connection to read any news. For newspaper/magazines, I donot need a computer to read news but I have to go to shops to buy newspaper/magazines. It takes me a lot of money and time.
For e-newspapers, the news is real-time. The news can be published onto Internet at the same time as when it happens so I am easy to up to date. For newspaper/magazines, I cannot read news until the publishers publish them.
3. I like e-newspapers because e-newspapers is rich and multiform. I can read any news I want which I cannot find in newspapers.
4. There is one thing I donot like about e-newspapers is I have to open my computer if I want to read some news. Sometime this is not convenient.
5. I can learn a lot of new words from e-newspapers. I often go to VOANews website to read English news.
It's good to know you all enjoy reading news on the internet. I do that quite often too. I read news both in Vietnamese and in English. VNexpress and the New York Times are two of my often-visited sites.
