In fact,whether you’re at school or university,there are many opportunities to get involved① in media.? An obvious first step is getting involved with your student newspaper or magazine.I began writing for my student publication within the first few weeks of starting university.Now I’m in my final year and I’m editor-in-chief. It has given me valuable experience,not only in writing,editing and designing,but also in making deals② with advertisers and discussing timings③ with printers. If your university’s student magazine isn’t for you,or you want to do something different,consider starting your own.It’s a challenge,but it is a great way to learn.? In the digital age,it’s also worthwhile to work on a website—perhaps that of your university publication,or a university society.You’ll gain knowledge publishing platforms such as WordPress. But of course journalism doesn’t end with the written word.Alex Kell,a student at University College London (UCL) and president of Rare FM,UCL’s student radio platform,says,“I became involved with student radio after applying④ to be a radio host.” “I now receive plenty of opportunities to get involved with the media.These have included invitations to review a live X Factor show as a VIP and be an extra⑤ in a London-based film.” There are valuable skills to be gained behind the camera,too.With video content being three times more likely to be shared on social media than text alone,if a company knows you’re skillful with your camera and can tell a story through it,you’ll be at an advantage over those who’ve never heard of Final Cut Pro. Showing your student journalism experiences and achievements will increase your chances of being employed by a media company.So choose your platform and then put your heart into finding strong stories and telling them in a fresh⑥ way. 词海拾贝 ①involve [In?v?lv] vt.使参与,牵涉;使埋头,使专注 ②deal [di?l] n.协定;交易;大量 ③time [taIm] vt.为……安排时间;测定……的时间;拨准(钟、表)的快慢 ④apply [??plaI] vt.敷,涂;应用;使用;适用 vi.申请,请求;使刻苦努力;致力于 ⑤extra [?ekstr?] n.附加物;临时演员;上品 ⑥fresh [fre?] adj. 新鲜的;淡水的;新的;无经验的 典句欣赏 1.In fact,whether you’re at school or university,there are many opportunities to get involved in media. 事实上,无论你在学校还是大学,都有很多机会参与媒体。 2.It’s a challenge,but it is a great way to learn. 这是一个挑战,但这是一个学习的好方法。 理解诱思 1.What does the author intend to tell us in this passage?
