I Don’t Read News. I Listen.
Honestly, I don’t read much newspapers. Maybe I am lazy busy. Maybe I had an overdose when my ex ex ex jobs required me to read heaps of news to keep abreast with economic and political updates.
However, I listen to lots of news - not from TV or radio but from our very own News Presenter at home. Furnished with news from internet platforms like Xinmsn and Asiaone, Brendan keeps me updated of news during lunch and broadcast them again during dinner to his dad.
I am starting to prefer this News Presenter to the professional one because he is so versatile. Simply tell him that I want more entertainment news, more social news… and he will be back soon with details.
For instance, knowing that I like Tom Cruise, he personalises his news for me. I am honoured.
“Tom Cruise is starring in Mission Impossible 4 and he does all his stunts personally in Dubai.”
“Do you know the circle line……”
“The political leader …..”
He can also fine-tune his news sharing in American accent, British accent and Singapore accent as long as I request. Haha..as long as I don’t ask him to share the news in Mandarin.
Cute!
Where on earth can I find such a dedicated News Presenter who has my interests at heart?
Not to forget, it’s really a good habit for kids to read news. It improves their languages and also general knowledge:) With supportive audience, they will become even more enthusiastic to read.
Thanks Bren. Looking forward to hearing more news …*smile*
Wow… impressive! Great job, Bren! Maybe I shld train my own News Presenter as I dun read much newspapers too. :)
