Principles review - week 4

On Oct. 17 Richard gave us a lecture on the form of government in England, which I thought was a culture issue for overseas students.

We learnt something about local and central government, the big city mayors, local councils and their functions/employees/money, acts on government, also issues about the parliament.

The lecture was interesting and helpful, especially when I was doing radio package exercise during the radio class.

At that time the sources Deborah gave us were about the lost of two dicks of ID card information, which story involved several government staff.

And how we covered this kind of news was taught by Richard.

The brief principles were to remember my readers, to do homework, to be accurate and fair, and to follow house style.

Well, the theories were applied to practice.

And in the afternoon we were out to the Crown Court at Harrow.

I was grateful for the chance of being a visitor at the real trial in western countries.

Although hardly could I follow the lawyers and the judge, I went to four or five different courts, I listened to criminal cases as well as civil ones.
