The differences in features, opinions and straight news.

The difference of three type’s news article:

Straight news
This type’s news article’ content always have 5W and 1H, 5W and 1H include What, When, Where, Why, Who and How. The straight news article’s structure likes an inverse pyramid. First, we must write broad range of the events, and then we will be focus to the details. The events like an accident will write to straight news article.

Features
Features’ structures include introduction, nut graph, body and conclusion. In intro, we can write some anecdote, little story to introduce the theme. In nut graph, we just simply explain and write some main point for the theme. Body is details of the theme, we can deeply explain the theme. Normally, we suggest introduction can write about 3 paragraph, nut graph can write 1 paragraph, body is see the writer whether want to write how many paragraph, and conclusion can wrote 1 paragraph.

Opinion
Opinion is writing our idea about some events. For example, government want to pursue a New Economic Policy, be a citizen, we can write some opinion for this policy whether that this policy is good or bad. If bad, we can write our opinion, and give some examples to prove that our opinion is right. In opinion, we can put some extract relations to our topic.

What i learned from Zan Azlee's lecture.

I remembered that I lated for the lecture. Zan Azlee is humour person, I learned a lot in his class. He share many experience for us.

Zan Azlee give us see three Malaysia product's movie. I'm glad that this three movie is Malaysia product's because it is a good movie. Although this is not a high-level movie, but the movie was attract me, like the 'Flower'.

Malaysia still have many people want to do movies, they not afraid although they will be difficult to product a movie in Malaysia. Maybe they will not earn so much money, even will lose money to product a movie, but they will perserve it.

In this class, I learned that we must perserve our dreams. We must do the things that we like.

In 1974, the local Chinese Associations in Kajang donated the 8.5acre piece of land to Dong Jiao Zong (The Chinese School Committees and School Teachers Associations) for use as a tertiary-level education institution.

In August 1994, Dong Jiao Zong planning for the college started when a formal application for a college license was made. After waiting three years, the college was eventually approved by the Malaysian Education Ministry on 28 May 1997. The first intake of students at New Era started their course on 1 March 1998.
