It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project (课题) three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh (叹气).
“What?s going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.
“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taki ng a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered.
Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.
“It?s about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide inf ormation, examples and illustrations (插图).”
“Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you?” her dad asked.
“I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”
Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published (发表) online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers don?t even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.
