ASSIGNMENT THREE


Umm, this is kind of depressing, and also not what I assigned. The point of this exercise was to imagine all the things you hope to accomplish over a long and successful life. That way, you can start working toward them now. Please redo. Also, it is supposed to be in broadcast style, not like a suicide note.

Dear families, my friends: I’m sorry to inform you that I will leave you forever on Sep 16, 2007, at the age of 22. I’m a student of CUC majoring in Broadcasting and Presenting. I suffered the disease of heart attack. I was born on July 19th, 1985 in Anshan, LiaoNing. But I grew up in Dalian at the age of 7. I was happy with my life, I have made many students. They treated me their family member. And my parents loved me very much. I thanks to them give the cherished life and I could live in this beautiful world. And I thanks to them for providing me the best conditions and best environments for my growth. And I thanks to my family members who supported me when I was in difficulties. It’s a pity that I couldn’t company my parents any more. I wanted to sorry for this. I hope they could live a good life then. I hope they will be healthy. And I hope they wouldn’t miss me so much. I will protect them and prey for them in the heaven. And I will tell them I will be fine in the paradise. Dad and Mum, I love you! You are the most important ones in my life, forever. With great condolence Feifei(Christine)




ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Write three pitches that you and some classmates can actually produce with the time and resources available to you.

The audience will be English speaking You Tube viewers. Your pitch should offer them something they cannot see elsewhere. This means slice of life and human interest stories are OK, but try to come up with some hard issue pieces or stories related to breaking news as well. Foreigners love to hear about: The Olympics, counterfeit or dangerous products, the environment and global warming, martial arts, student trends, China's economy, interesting tourist destinations, and anything unusual or surprising. Think about a story you would like to hear about in another country, and try it here.

Also think about the big stories in the world, and look for a Chinese connection. Are there Iraqi students here? Does China have an Islamic insurgency? What do Chinese students think about the US presidential race? Who is in charge at the Palestian Embassy here now that the Palestinians have split amid civil war?

Your pitch should include the names of the people you plan to interview, and the shots you plan to include.
