The main purpose of a newspaper is toprovide news. If you examine a newspaper closely,   you willfind that there are all types of news, accidents, floods, fires, wars,fashions, spoils,

books, etc. The news covers everything thathappens to people and their surroundings. Some-

times there are news items which are veryamusing.

A news report is usually very short, exceptwhen it is about something very important, but it contains a lot ofinformation. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is infact

a summary of the news item. It gives allthe necessary information -what, when, where, how

and why. The other paragraphs give fulldetails of the subjects. There may also be interviews

with people. The words actually spoken bythem are written in inverted commas(引号).

Often there are photographs to go with thenews to make it more interesting.
