NEWS READING

A. Introduction
To be announcer of a new in a radio or television needs a certain skill. Not
only have you to be good at reading aloud but also at interacting with your listener(s).
you have to be aware of your pronunciation and be communicative in delivering the
news as if you are talking to your audience face to face about certain topic(s)
B. Preparation

Here are some suggestions from McManus and Smart (1971) you can use to
plan your news reading activity.

1. whenever possible, read the text over first silently

2. try to think of its meaning and imagine how it should sound
3. hold the text (paper) far enough up to force your chin up, but not so far as to hide
your face. Hold it out from your body.
4. use the punctuation for pausing and for taking a breath
5. take a big breath before you begin, don't stop in the middle of a phrase.
6. suit the tone of your voice to the passage and try to capture the feeling of the text
without over-dramatising it.
7. practice raising your eyes form the text occasionally.

Anda Metro News bersama saya ILFANI ADIRA, edisi hari ini akan mencakup
tentang banjir di Banten. Banjir merendam tempat tinggal warna serta beberapa bangunan
sekolah di Lebak Banten, pada hari Selasa sore. Para murid akhirnya harus melepaskan
sepatu untuk berangkat sekolah. Hujan deras yang terjadi selama 3 hari membuat kegiatan
warga dan murid terganggu. Salah satunya terjadi di Sekolam Menengah Negeri 1
Rangkasbitung, Lebak, Banten.

Banjir dengan ketinggian 30-50 cm membuat murid harus menerjang genangan air ke
sekolah tanpa sepatu. Namun para murid tetap semangat untuk belajar. Sampai malam tadi,
hujan masih terjadi di wilayah Rangkasbitung, Lebak, Banten. Warga berharap agar sistem
saluran air diperbaiki segera.
