Do you think the Internet is a good way to get news? 
Not very often. Newspapers take time to get published so they are not updated as 
quickly as the news on social media sites is. Besides, I would have to go to the 
kiosks and spend money to buy newspapers.
Well, if I had to choose between the two, I'll probably go with reading magazines 
in my spare time because they are well printed and always have in-depth 
reporting on particular events; whereas, you know, newspapers always report 
the same news as the Internet, so they now seem to be not so indispensable. 
I'm more interested in newspapers that write about foreign cultures. I like to 
learn about their religions, customs, and the foods they eat. Occasionally, foreign 
news interests me, too. I also really like reading scientific related news. 
I got in the habit of reading newspapers when I was in high school; I was around 
17 years old then. The library in my school had several kinds of newspapers and 
magazines so when I had free time, I'd go to read news about the latest political 
events, sports and fashion news. 
Yes, I feel that it's very important for me and other people to know what’s 
happened both domestically and internationally. 
It's kind of hard to say but people that I know tend to read political news because 
they are interested in what happens domestically and abroad, but maybe for 
other people, they just care more about sports and fashion events. 
Well, if I had to choose between the two, I'll probably go with reading domestic 
news because it is closer to home, and it affects me more; whereas, you know, 
international news sometimes have nothing to do with my daily life, so I just 
read the headlines. 
Well, I feel that newspaper publishers always try to use bold headings, attractive 
advertisements, and insights in the article to get the readers' attention.

Well, I guess that newspapers have a great influence on society. Newspapers 
keep people informed about the economy, politics, science and education. Also, it 
tells us something about our society and the country. Moreover, it also helps to 
educate people about their rights and duties. 
Yes, getting news from the Internet is popular now because it's very convenient 
to get news from the Internet via a mobile phone. The news apps on my mobile 
phone usually send me the most urgent notifications so it keeps me posted 
minute by minute.
