2. Pair work

Skim the text and underline the questions that Zhou Yang asks. Notice the way the questions develop. ◆Can I go out on a story immediately? ◆What do I need to take with me? ◆What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story? ◆What mistakes must I avoid? ◆Why is listening so important? ◆How can I listen to answers if I have to write down what he or she is saying? ◆Have you ever had a case where somebody accused your reporters of getting the wrong end of the sick? The way the questions develop:

All of these questions are finding out more abut the qualities and skills needed for the job. They also start in a general way (what to take with you) and gradually become more specific (an example of the newspaper being accused of writing an untrue story). The questions develop naturally form the answers of the Hu Xin and yet they form a developmental whole: thins to take, things to remember, things to avoid, importance of listening, ensuring accuracy.
