will usually include the source (the person who gave the information). If the
source is very well known and important, it will come at the beginning of the
sentence:
General John Shalikashvil
The head of the US military,
, said
Thursday that China, despite its military might, would fail if it tried
to invade Taiwan.
More often, however, the source will come at the end:
A Thai family, who were sent the wrong body when a relative died
in Singapore, has ended a month-long standoff by agreeing to
return the body in exchange for US$6,000 in damages,
the Thai
Embassy
said yesterday.
Answering Your Questions:
The headline and lead usually raise more questions than they answer.
You generally find out what happened and one or two prominent details, but if
you are interested in the subject you will want to know much more, questions
such as: when? where? why? how? what effects? what significance? That is the
function of the body of the story.
Review Exercise: match these headlines with their lead paragraphs. Key words
will help you (one headline has no lead)
1. Aid is rushed to Armenia: quake’s toll is in thousands
2. Six men found alive 35 days after the
earthquake in Armenia
3. Chinese rescue teams reach quake area
4. Moscow allows US airlift of supplies
5. Bad transportation hinders quake relief
6. China doubles estimate of quake homeless
(a) MOSCOW – Authorities rushed military surgeons and tons of medical
supplies yesterday into Armenia, which was rocked by an earthquake
that officials said had killed tens of thousand of people and virtually
destroyed several cities.
