TASK 5: Read the following notes and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions below.
News on TV and news on the Internet have several similarities and differences. Both are
accessible to the public, providing information on various topics ranging from current
events, politics, entertainment, to sports. However, they differ in the way they are
presented and consumed.
News on TV is broadcast through audio and visual means, allowing viewers to watch news
programs that include live reporting and interviews. Additionally, TV news often includes
analysis and commentary from experts, providing viewers with in-depth insights into
different issues. On the other hand, news on the Internet can be accessed instantly and
offers interactive elements that engage users more directly. Websites and news apps allow
users to customize their news experience by selecting specific topics or sources of interest,
providing a more personalized approach to news consumption. Furthermore, the Internet
provides access to a wide range of multimedia content, including articles, videos, podcasts,
and social media updates. Finally, while both types of media can provide accurate and
reliable information, Internet news may have more problems with misinformation
because anyone can post any information he or she likes on the Internet.
Overall, the choice between TV and Internet news often depends on individual
preferences, habits, and access to technology. In either way, staying informed and
critically evaluating sources remain essential practices to live in the world of mass media
today.
