Hello guys! 

I will share with you about News Item. 




This blog has three parts, and exercises with answers.

For the first part, I will write the definition, structure, linguistic elements and examples of News Items. 

For the second paragraph, I will write how to analyze of news items.

And the last paragraph, I will write the conclusion and questions with answers. 


So, let's begin!! 


PART 1 
NEWS ITEM


Definition 

The news item is the text that resembles news, is based on reality, and is reliable. And usually always published every day with the latest events.

The purpose of this news item is to provide information to readers.


Structure 

1. Play events


This section is also known as a newsworthy event. This section is the part that tells or contains news about the main event or event which is usually written in the form of a summary (summary).


2. Background events


This part, which is often referred to as Elaboration, is the part that tells the background of the event or incident, who was involved, and the location of the incident.


3. Source


The last part is the source, which tells about comments, witnesses to events, expert opinions, and so on regarding the events or events that are reported.


In each type of text in English, there are linguistic characteristics that can distinguish it from other types of text. The most prominent feature of news item text is its concise and concise language.


Linguistic Elements

PART 2 
ANALYZE 


THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW FOR ANALYSIS



In a news item to analyze a text, we need 5W + 1H. That is :
• Who is involved?
For "Who" this refers to who was involved, or who did it.

• When is it happening?
For "When" refers to the day and date of the incident.

• Where is this happening?
For "Where" refers to the scene.

• What's happening?
To "What" refers to a person, event or thing.

• Why is it happening?
For "Why" refers to the process of problem-solving, cause and effect, and reasons.

• How is this happening?
For "How" the reference is almost the same as why.

ANALYZING PARAGRAPH


Let's go to the text section.

The first paragraph relates to the news title or the main elements of the news. We can look at the first sentence for the main idea.

Then for the second paragraph is the background related to the first paragraph. Usually, we find out who was involved, and how it happened.

For the last paragraph, this paragraph is a comment from a witness or person involved.

For clarity, I will include an example text for analysis.


I use this photo before for example of the news item, and now we will analyze this photo. 

First Paragraph is the Main Event of the news and relates to the news title. Why? Because the first paragraph will explain details to the second or next paragraph. 

The headline might: David Beckham and his wife are going to court


In the second or the next paragraph, we know that the text has 5W and 1H. You find out yourself. 

The last paragraph is the comment. 
We can see the comment of David Beckham about His marriage life.

Questions, Answers and Conclusions.
------------------------------------
Recycling is the collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

3. What is the third step of recycling paper products?
     A. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil
     B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp
     C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants
     D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres

Answer:  E. 

Read the following text to answer questions number 5 to 10.
Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.
Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.
Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for any time, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.
Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralized by airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidification increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminum (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil microorganisms.
5. What is the text mainly about?
     A. The definition of acid rain
     B. The process of acid rain
     C. The effect of acid rain
     D. Acid rain
     E. Rain
   Answer: D. Acid Rain.

CONCLUSION 

  • An explanation text is a text that describes an action or event. 
  • The Structue : 
  • *General Statement. 
  • * Event. 
  • * Interpretation. 
  • The Linguistic :
  • - Passive sentence.                         
  • - Non Human Participation.         
  • - Use scientific terms. 
  • - Use material verb,
    - Use conjunctions of  time.                    - Based on true or actual.                              
  • How to make an explanation you should find a topic, make sure your topis is real not hoax. And, use passive sentence, and then put in the draft and edit, this is to make your explanation text perfect before your publish.
