Advance English Engineering

Hallo.. On October 1st 2014, This is the 7th class of Advanced English Engineering. We meet Mr.Aji again. In this class, Mr. Aji explains about writing of broadcasting. He says that writing and speak the news must make an intimate conversation with daily language. And then Mr.Aji gives a quote from Marilyn Vos Savant “Have you ever notice that when you must strunggle to hear something ,you close your eyes”. This is a super quote to open this lesson. I see Endah and Feby sit at the 1st banch. They look more attention at that topics slides. Some students are setting up the sound system at Mr.Aji’s table. It uses to hears some ICT news from Mr.Aji at last lesson.

Then Mr. Aji gives more explain about news at TV and Radio. TV gives a picture, it is worth of thousand words and then radio just gives shade, nuance, pause, pitch of the news reader. when we speaks a news, we must :

1. Use plain English

• No time for audience to find the meaning of one complex word, use :
• Poor instead of impoverished
• Truth instead of veracity
• Sex Instead of gender
• Contraction is better

2. Use Concrete Words

Example : “ A Scottish terrier named bobby today saved……..”

3. Avoid inverted sentences

Usually use a sentence : Because of

4. Use every day expression

5. Reduce the of adjective and adverb

6. Use contraction

Mr. Aji asks us to write an example of breaking news about activities out off class, and this example of breaking news :

On October 1st 2014, in H5 202A, Five students of electrical engineering are presenting about adder in front of the class. It’s because they do the task from their lecturer.

Endah and Feby

Reporting from UMNews.

And then Mr. Aji continuous explain about writing news. intro of news gives more conversational than news story . this is a News’structure :

1. Who was involved?

2. What was involved?

3. When was involved?

4. Where was involved?

5. Why was involved?

6. How was involved?

We can use present tense to write a news. Don’t use “yesterday” or “last night”. at the end of his class, he gives us a task. He asks us to Listen and then writing about structure news of blackberry from Mr.Aji .  Ok, that’s all our report. We’re so sorry for our mistakes. Thanks for reading guys. See you next report.
