package making exercise

Last week we did package exercise in radio class.

It was all about selecting clips and rewriting news, I think. Deborah gave us there pieces of radio which focused on the same issues but with different presenters as well as interviews. Each lasted five minutes or so.

All we needed to to is to understand the story first, and selected two to there clips twenty-five to thirty seconds long and arranged them with our own cue, opening, and links into a new radio package available on air.

The task itself was not hard, acturally, but to make the news clear to myself which seemed not very easy for me within a certain time. In fact, the news was a complex one invovled political issues.

To make clear a foreign country's political officals' interesing relationships was hard. To make clear what was exactly going on was hard. To make clear what interviewees said via listening to the radio was hard.

In a word, my enlish is not as good as I need! There is still way to go!
