C. Paraphrase They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history. Nearly 500,000 high quality digital photographs have been produced since the international project started in 1994. (Para 1)

Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.” (Para 3)

Time: Today, the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road.
3. Summarize the basic structures and language features of a new report briefly.
教学参考： 1) 新闻报道结构：新闻报道一般包括四个部分：标题、导语、主体、结束语。 (1) 标题。标题是新闻的题目，是编辑对最有新闻价值内容的浓缩、概括、提炼和再创造。撰写标题是为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读。 (2) 导语。导语是新闻开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示新闻的核心内容。 (3) 主体。主体是新闻的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。 (4) 结束语。结束语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结或对新闻事件的发展趋势作出预测。有时作者会根据报道的事实在结束语中提出令人深思的问题。 2) 新闻报道写作与语言特点： (1) 抓住写作要素。一篇新闻报道要包括五个“W”和一个“H”，即“when，where，who，what，why”和“how”，即“新闻六要素”。 (2) 拟好新闻的标题和导语。标题和导语是新闻的重要组成部分。标题是新闻的“眼睛”，标题拟得好才能吸引读者。导语是一则新闻的第一段或第一句话，它必须具有简明、生动的特点，以帮助读者抓住新闻的主题思想。 (3) 优化文章结构。尽量做到详略得当、层次分明、条理清晰。
Step3 Writing
Activity 6 Writing guidance
1. Read the interview notes.
2. Guide the students to draft a new report with the help of the table.
Head line Lead sentence Write a title to get the readers’ attention. Tell the readers who, what, where, and why. A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS Chen Lei is a senior teacher who takes photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city’s cultural heritage.
Body Tell the reader the facts, details, examples, etc. Explain what the person or group does. Use relative clause. Use quotes and paraphrases. Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and …
Ending End with a short summary to help the readers remember the main idea. Neither people nor building last forever, but Chen Lei’s photos can help us remember them.
3. Show the writing tips: Tips on how to write a news report
A news report is similar to a news article. It is the basic facts of a story that is currently happening or that just happened. Writing a news report is easy if you report on the subject clearly, conduct good interviews, and write in a style that is clear, concise, and active.
1) Write a headline. Your headline should be accurate, clear, and easy to understand. Use key words from the story and keep it straight and plain. Use active and short action verbs in your headline. The headline should accurately lead readers to what the report is about.
2) Write a byline (署名行) and place name. The byline goes directly underneath the headline. This is where you put your name and clarify who you are. The place name is where the article takes place and is written in all caps.
3) Use a hard news lead. Keep your lead to the point, fitting as much of the basic information as you can into your lead. A lead is only one or maybe two sentences and summarizes the news story.
4) Write the body of your report. This is going to consist of the facts, but more detailed and specific than in your lead. Use the information you collected and gathered at the scene and in interviews. Write your report in third person and from a neutral perspective. Make sure your story conveys information and not an opinion.
5) Include quotes in the news report. Always introduce who you are quoting followed by the exact words that they said. Use their full name the first time you mention them then only use their last name.
6) Always include attributions. Unless the information is common knowledge, always attribute (认为是…所为（或说、写、作）) where you got it. You can get in trouble for not giving credit to someone. This is also important in case a fact is wrong, then it will be known who got the fact wrong and that it was not you.
4. Get the students think how they will organize the writing and then read the sample writing.
Sample writing:
Headline: A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words
Lead sentence: Chen Lei, who is a senior teacher, takes high-quality photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city’s cultural heritage.
Body: Every day, Chen Lei takes his digital camera and walks patiently through the old city. Over the years，he has taken thousands of professional pictures of old buildings to create a record for his fellow citizens in the present and future. Another important part of his project is the interviews he conducts with elderly residents. He makes attempts to write stories about the old buildings and their inhabitants，which are quite popular. He also visits schools to tell students about cultural heritage.
Ending: Neither people nor buildings last forever，but Chen Lei’s photos can prevent us from forgetting them. Chen Lei’s great contributions are worth praising.
