But back in April, the Paliament rejected five of the twenty-five people the president chose for his Cabinet.

News Two:
The U.S may ease regulations on American technology exported to China,if the importers are not using it for military purposes. The comanies that earn such trust could skip some official oversight on restricted technologies.

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.

• no.1 The presell of the train tickets has all changed to 10 days ahead since September 6th according to the regulation set by the railroad bureau. (interview: officials in the bureau to talk about why is this change made? how it work?etc; passengers to talk about if it is more convenient; staff in the trailway station to talk about if there's any improvement since the change took place. shots: railway station, tickets selling winow. )

• no.2 The Line 5 of Beijing Subway, scheduled to open on September 20, are having trial operation without passengers now. (interviews: the officials of subway construction bureau about the detail infor. about line 5 and the future plan of the subway construaction in China and how it will serve for the Olympics, etc. shots: line 5 station.)

• no. 3 The students who are majored in photography took part in the test competition rebroadcast for Olympics. ( interview: ask the students about the details of the rebroadcast and the newly finished olympic stadium. shoots: the stadium and the test compition.)
• ASSIGNMENT FIVE:
  Final Analysis This news story encompasses all kinds of facts from different sources, which includes interviewing with local people, FAO, experts, professors, analysts from CITIC Securities as well as officials of Chinese government to support her conclusion. Although some of the facts are not reliable or proper, the whole story is trustworthy to most of the people. However, the story is biased to some extend by claiming Chinese government for its irresponsibility and not sharing the information with the public. The story mentions little about the effort that the Chinese government made, and it contains little comments from Chinese government officials which compared to other sources are not enough.. From this news story we learn that before we get down to the report we should make all-around investigation and researching, let the facts speak for themselves. Of we want to promote our personal opinion through the report, we could omit or blur some of the facts inattentively. Also clarify the source can make the story more reliable. The author has excellent writing skill. The first two paragraphs as delayed lead are very attractive. But the story is not well organized in logical order. For example, the person Huang’s identity in the last paragraph of page 2 remained unknown until page 4, readers may feel confused. Overall, it is a very good report that we can learn a lot from..
