High school English compulsory 5unit4 text translation

The new reporter said, "I will never forget the first task."

Zhou Yang will never forget his first job in that popular English newspaper. His conversation with his new boss, Hu Xin, had a great influence on his career as a journalist.

H: Welcome. I'm glad you can work with us. Your first job was as an assistant reporter. Is there a problem?

Zhou: Can I go out for a visit right away? .

Hu: Your attitude is very good, but I don't think it's time yet. Wait till you have more experience. First of all, I will arrange for you to be an assistant to a very experienced reporter. In the future, I can be responsible for a special topic and publish my own articles.

Zhou: Great. What should I bring? I have a notebook and a camera.

Hu: You don't need a camera. Professional photographers will take pictures with you. You will find that your partner will be very cooperative with you. You can learn photography if you are interested.

Zhou: Thank you. Not only do I like photography, but I also took a photography class in college to improve my skills.

Hu: Not bad.

Zhou: What should I pay attention to when I go out for an interview?

Hu: You are curious. Only by asking different questions can we get as much information as possible. A good reporter must have a keen sense of smell. This means that when others don't tell you the whole truth, you must get to the bottom of it. You must find out what the missing part is in the interview.

Zhou: Then how do I remember?

Hu: This is my list of what to do and what not to do. Don't go beyond your own bottom line, don't be rude, don't talk too much, but you must listen carefully during the interview.

Zhou: Why is listening so important?

H: Well, you should hear the details of the facts, and at the same time, you should prepare the next question according to what this person is saying now.

Zhou: Then how can I take notes and listen so carefully?

This is the trick. The interview is arranged, so you can use the tape recorder to make sure it's all recorded. This is also useful when someone wants to embarrass you. You have evidence to support what you wrote.

Zhou: I see. Have you ever met a similar situation? Some people complain that the reporter made a mistake.

H: Yes, but that was a long time ago. The thing is, a football player is accused of taking money and then deliberately letting other teams win without scoring. We went to interview him, and he denied taking the money, but we still doubted it. So we arranged an interview between this player and someone who might bribe him. When we saw them, we saw that the player's behavior showed that he was not telling the truth, so we wrote an article saying that he was guilty. This decision is not easy, because if we are wrong, the players may get hurt. He tried to stop us from publishing, but in the end, we were proved right.

Zhou: Wow! This is amazing. I am looking forward to my first interview. Maybe I'll have a big story, too.

Hu: Maybe you will. Anything could happen.
