1) University Students Like Reading Newspapers in English
Dear Editor:
I am a student at Renmin University of China in Beijing. As a regular who goes to the university library＇s newspaper room, I have discovered that many students like reading newspaper in English, especially China Daily.
The reason that China Daily is popular among students is not difficult to explain. A major characteristic of China Daily is the conciseness of its articles. Most of the articles are brief, clearly written and informative. Many students are busy with their studies and don＇t have much spare time. However, by reading China Daily, readers can get up-to-date news about China and the world and enhance their reading capabilities at the same time and, more importantly, it doesn＇t cost them a lot of time. In this sense, China Daily is providing a sort of “fast-food” to its readers. Furthermore, China Daily also helps its readers improve their writing skills. For those students who find English compositions difficult, articles on China Daily serve as perfect examples.
