[00:12.04]MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT
[00:15.10]"Unforgettable," says new reporter
[00:18.02]Never will Zhou Yang (ZY) forget his ffirst assignment
[00:22.60]at the office of China Daily.
[00:24.71]His discussion¹ with his new boss,
[00:27.85]Hu Xin (HX), was to stronglyinfluence his life as a reporter.
[00:32.78]Welcome.
[00:35.21]We are so glad you are coming to work with us.
[00:38.45]Your first job at China Daily will be as a reporter.
[00:41.90]Do you have any questions?
[00:44.04]Can I go out on a story immediately?
[00:47.10]Not on your own! Not till you are more experienced²!
[00:51.85]The first time we'll send you with an experienced reporter.
[00:55.41]Only when you have seen what he or she does,
[00:58.46]can you cover a story by yourself.
[01:01.20]Wonderful! I'm so excited.
[01:04.08]What do I need to take with me?
[01:05.88]I already have a notebook and pen . I also brought my camera with me.
[01:11.24]No need for a camera1
[01:13.48]You'll have a professional photographer
[01:17.61]You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist³ you
[01:21.24]and if you re interested in photography,
[01:24.11]it may be possible for you to doncentrate on that later on.
[01:28.24]Thank you. Not only am I interested in photography,
[01:32.68]but I took a course at university,
[01:34.96]so it actually of special interest to me.
[01:33.96]Good.
[01:35.03]What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?
[01:39.28]You need to be curious.
[01:41.40]Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know .
[01:47.83]we say a good reporter must have a "nose" for a story .
[01:52.27]that means he or she must be able to tell
[01:55.74]when people are not telling the whole truth and try to discover it .
[02:00.10]They must use research or ask other people to find out the missing⁴ parts of the story.
[02:06.16]I see. What mistakes must I avoid?
[02:10.42]Here comes my list of "dos" and "don'ts": don't be rude,
[02:15.59]don't talk too much yourself, and make sure you listen to the answers carefully.
[02:21.24]Why is listening so important?
[02:24.11]Well, you have to listen to the detailed⁵ facts.
[02:27.45]Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.
[02:32.91]But how can I listen to answers if I have to write down what he or she is saying?
[02:39.24]This is a trick of the trade.
[02:41.87]If the person being interviewed agrees,
[02:44.51]we sometimes use small recorders to make sure that we get all our facts straight.
[02:49.66]It is also useful if a person wants to challenge us.
[02:54.18]We have the evidence to support our story.
[02:57.44]I can see how important that is !
[03:00.13]have you ever had a case where somebody accused your reporters of getting the wrong end of the sick?
[03:05.75]Yes, but it was a long time ago.
[03:08.57]This is how the story goes.
[03:11.03]A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately⁶ not scoring goals
[03:16.88]so as to let the other team win.
[03:19.15]We went to but denied that he had ever taken any money.
[03:28.87]We arranged an interview between that man and the footballer
[03:32.81]and when we saw them together
[03:34.77]we guessed from the footballer's body language
[03:37.72]that he was not telling the truth.
[03:40.00]An article was written which suggested he was guilty.
[03:43.76]He was very angry and tried to stop us publishing it .
[03:48.02]Later we were proved right.
[03:48.66]That was a real "scoop⁷".
[03:51.01]I'm looking forward to my first assignment as a reporter.
[03:54.31]Perhaps I too will get a scoop!
[03:56.58]Perhaps you will. You never know!
[03:59.45]Using Language
[04:06.82]Reading, speaking and writing
[04:09.77]GETTING  THE " SCOOP"
[04:12.62]"Quick", said the editor. "Get that story ready.
[04:17.19]We need it in this edition to be ahead of the other newspapers.
[04:22.05]This is a scoop."
[04:23.80]Zhou Yang had just come back into the office
[04:27.56]after an interview with a famous film star

[04:30.69]"did he really do that?"
[04:33.57]asked someone from the International News Department.
[04:37.23]"Yes, I'm afraid he did, "
[04:39.05]Zhou Yang answered.
[04:40.70]He set to work.
[04:41.85]His first task was to write his story,
[04:45.51]but he had to do it carefully.
[04:47.78]Although he realized the man had been lying,
[04:51.33]Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly .
[04:54.83]He would have to be accurate⁹. Concise¹⁰ too!
[04:58.36]He knew how to do that.
[05:00.42]Months of training had taught him to write
[05:03.48]with no wasted words for phrases.
[05:06.22]He sat down at his computer and began to work.
[05:10.37]  The first person who saw his article was an editor from his department.
[05:15.94]He checked the evidence,
[05:17.79]read the article and passed it on to the copy - editor.
[05:21.45]She began to edit⁸ the piece and design the main headline and smaller heading.
[05:26.91]"this will look very good on the page," she said .
[05:30.28]"where is a good picture of this man?"
[05:33.81]Then as the article was going to be written in English
[05:37.93]Zhou Yang also took a copy to the native speaker
[05:41.38]employed by the newspaper to polish the style .
[05:45.30]She was also very happy with Zhou Yang's story.
[05:48.54]"You are really able to write a good from page article,"
[05:52.59]she noted¹¹ . Zhou Yang smiled with happiness.
[05:56.40]Last of all , the chief editor read it and approved it .
[06:00.82]"well done ," he said to Zhou Yang.
[06:03.27]"but please show me your evidence so we're sure we've got our facts straight .
[06:08.55]" "I'll bring it to you immediately," said Zhou Yang.
[06:11.89]   The news desk editor
[06:14.95]took the story and began to work on all the stories
[06:18.11]and photos until all the pages were set.
[06:21.27]All the information was then ready to be processed into film negatives.
[06:26.70]This was the first stage of the printing process.
[06:30.41]They needed four negatives,
[06:32.74]as several colours were going to be used on the story.
[06:36.16]Each of the main colours
[06:38.28]had one negative sheet
[06:40.24]and when they were combined they make a coloured page for the newspaper .
[06:44.91]after one last check the page was ready to be printed.
[06:49.95]Zhou  Yang wait excitedly for the first copies to be ready.
[06:54.63]"wait till tonight," his friend whispered.
[06:58.29]"I expect there will be something about this on the television news . a real scoop!"
