3. What effects can newspapers have on society? Newspapers definitely have a huge impact on society. They keep people informed
of what is going on across their country and the whole world. I guess that journalists can
make people believe anything they write, because people take it for granted that journalists
write after investigating the facts
.
Newspapers can definitely influence public opinion.
Consequently, in many countries the press is controlled by the government. As a result,
newspapers are often written to generate feelings of patriotism
(=
nationalism) in the
readers’ mind. If too many articles are pessimistic, the society might worry, and this could
influence the national mood, and might even affect the economy.
4. What effects does climate have on what people do outdoors? Well, the weather has a great influence on people’s activities. If the temperature is too
hot, people stay home, because they don’t want to get sunburned or sweat too much. On the
other hand, if it’s freezing outside, or pouring rain out, the result is the same
:
people don’t
want to go out. I think that mild weather is the most appropriate for outdoor activities. In
my country, most teenagers like to play basketball, but they can only enjoy this sport if the
weather conditions allow it. A few months ago, for Spring Festival, most of my relatives did
not go to the temple because it was raining hard…You see, the weather can even have an
impact on ancient traditions
!
5. What impact do leaders have on people? Well, leaders usually motivate their staff or teammates; as a result, people can work
with more passion, you know, more enthusiasm. Leaders should be able to inspire everyone
else, so the team can reach higher goals. In addition, leaders, and especially political leaders,
should be good at guiding people. They make decisions that will influence people’s lives
.
They create laws and policies that definitely have a huge impact on our lifestyle.
