1.Describe a place of interest in your hometown
=> I live in New York with my parents. There are a good number of interesting places to see and visit here. But the New York Public Library is more interesting to me than any other places.
I am a citizen of the USA by birth but my parents are not. They came here in search of living from Larissa in Greece during the 1980s. They have been living for around 36 years in this city. After my birth and I got matured enough, they took me to different interesting places to visit in the New York City, and these places are really interesting. But being an introvert, I disliked the crowds and the public library appeared to be more interesting to me than other places. The place is filled with books on numerous issues, magazines, documents and many other things. The classics available in the library were my favourite.
Going to the library is easier for me. In fact, this is not far away from my residence. The New York Public Library is only a 10-minute walk from my home. It remains open from 10 am to 8 pm, except the weekends. Usually, I go there in the evening and read books or novels until the library is closed. Besides, the library is accessible from the other parts of the city. The people who want to visit the library can reach here using several transportation modes. They can reach the library by taxi, metro or by their private cars. But the people who live nearby, like me, come here mostly on foot.
The New York Public Library is a great place to read. But the people who come here are not readers always. Some of them are researchers, while some others may be historians or musicians. Actually, the library is visited by a wide range of people. Basically, the library comes with the reading facilities. But there is also the scope to check the reference books, peep on the music directory or crosscheck any history. Besides, the reading rooms are well expanded and the readers have ample opportunities to use the books and references after their needs. But they have to be careful with the books. Silence among the readers while reading books is expected there.
Reading books may appear boring to many but it is very interesting to me. I love reading books. The books help us to know the unknown and unseen. The experiences of past thousand years have been preserved in books in words. So, when I read them, it appears that I am travelling through time! But every place is not suitable for reading and it requires a very special environment. Hence, I think a library is a nice place to read. At the same time, it is an interesting place as an enriched collection of books are available together. In fact, it is impossible for an individual to collect a part of the books of this library in his entire life. So, I find more interest in reading books in a calm place and the New York Public Library is a place I would recommend to a tourist.
There are complaints that bad news overwhelms our television. Some people think that television news should be a mixture of good and bad news. I absolutely support the idea.
First of all, it is understandable that the majority of television news being reported is bad news, such as: wars, famines, accidents and crime. There is a saying: Joy is easy to forget and sadness is easy to remember. The bad news often disturbs us and makes us curious. The more views from the audience, the more profitable the media organizations are.
However, in terms of psychological and medical concerns, if people are frequently exposed to bad news, they will also be affected mentally, gradually they become over-anxious and suspicious. A more dangerous thing is a lack of faith in life. If so, it is getting more and more difficult for us to see good things than to see bad things.
While it is true that most of our media used to be bad news, it is undeniable that the attractiveness of many significant news programs like Loving Leaves (Cặp lá yêu thương - a volunteer program on VTV); news about anti-epidemic doctors who work day and night to protect societal health; ...
Sum up, I believe that in order to have a rich and meaningful life, we need to have a multi-dimensional perspective. Good news and bad news are both pieces of life and need to be harmonized in the media to bring an authentic, objective and appropriate view to audience.
It is thought by some people that there should be a mixture of good and bad news on television. Personally, I completely agree with this view.
The majority of television news being reported is bad news: wars, famines, accidents, and crime. It is obvious that bad news, by its nature, is appealing to people. Their attention can be achieved by broadcasting negative news. People want to know more about wars and criminal behaviors as opposed to peace and good deeds in their community.
However, it is undeniable that bad news have negative impact on people's lives. If the media publishes too much bad news, people will be left feeling hopeless and anxious. They can be stressed and under pressure after reading such type of news.
Thus, the news should report the good happening in the world alongside the bad. Good news such as stories about someone’s achievements, successful personalities, and positive contributions can encourage others to work hard. Some programs about building shelters for the homeless, donating clothes for the poor and so on, these should be shown on TV as well.
In brief, if the media establishes the balance between both types of news, the society will be harmonious and peaceful. This will prevent anxiety and insecurity among the viewers.
