He said some interesting things like"At 90, I will enter into the secret of things," he said.And also "At 110, every dot will live."

GETTING IT RIGHT_PART 1:This is about helping you to practice and how much more you can do with it and how to do it.So its just telling you and helping out on it.Reading aloud helps test to see if your sentences are too long or if your story makes sense and doesn't confuse people. Also avoid sentences with long dependent clauses, instead try using the subject-verb-object construction in most of your sentences.And it well help you better on it.

GETTING IT RIGHT -PART 2:
This is about how important it is to plan ahead and it also shows the value of organization and how to determine a factor of a good article.Write simple sentences and make sure your subject is close to the verb.All writers must always conform to the basic conventions of grammar, spelling and punctuation.


LIBEL:This shows you how easy you can commit this crime, even if its on accident theres no excuse.

Give a brief (2-4) sentences over the following sections:(Just click on links)
The writing process:
When writing you follow a pattern or some steps.These steps are steps that all successful writers follow, are gather(finding details), focus(main idea), order(place important facts in a logical order), draft(quick write), and revise(edit your draft to make it more powerful).These are the steps you need for a writting process.These are the same basic steps upon which this Web site is built (prewriting, writing and rewriting).


Getting Organized:
First you have to figure out the main points that will support your theme. Second decided how to tell the story. Third place the main points in a logical sequence.Fourth take a moment and plan the story from beginning to end. Fifth put the feq main topics impose order on the details you often fave when reporting ends. so its basically telling you how to do your article.


Story Structure:You have several options when it comes to the structure of your story.You can choose a chronical order were you put the events in the order they happend.But you can also use the news form which are the:the inverted pyramids, the narrative or the hourglass.But the mose popular structure for news stories is the inverted pyramid.

The news lead-Part 1:
A good news for the story or a play is based on one main idea.thats why its so important to decide to either focus on it or not.A well-focused article tells your reader that you worked from a plan.it also gives the reader a sense of completeness which is a sense that you know what you are doing.

The news lead-Part 2:These are the last 4 main leads for a story. There is a second type or lead that is used mostly on feature stories.It usually sets the scene or the mood of the story.The delay lead can be short like about two sentences or up to four paragraphs.It is important to include the theme statement somewhere high in the story usually in the first two paragraphs.Leads have to be honest.

The rest of the story:
The rest of the story is the middle and end.Number 1 the real strenght of your story will come for the detalis that back up the promise of the lead.Which its the background.In the middle of the story you will build a strenght of interest in a number of ways.The end of the story is the most important.

The tools of the trade:News writing is concrete and specific. News writing is front-loaded or top-heavy. The news writer makes meaning early with sentences that begin with subjects and verbs. It is tough and muscular and free of clutter, The good writer avoids this clutter with a meanness of attitude.
