The Five W’s and H
News writing strives to answer “The Five W’s and H:” that is, Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Good leads answer as many of these questions as possible in a single sentence. When writing a lead, it helps to think about which of these facts is the most vital for readers to know.
Keep It Short
A good lead provides all the information the reader requires in just a few words. Ideally, a lead should be between 25 and 40 words.
Keep It Simple
Don’t clutter up the lead with unnecessary adjectives or adverbs. Also make sure that your lead only discusses one idea to avoid confusion.
Write in Active Voice
Avoid all forms of the verb “to be.” Common exceptions including writing about fatalities (“two people were killed Thursday”) and when discussing police activity (“two people were arrested”). Passive voice is often the result of incomplete reporting.
La cucaracha means the cockroach in Spanish and the cockroach represents President Victoriano Huerta. It represents the Mexican Revolution that was from 1910-1920.
Explanation:Bursary- A bursary is when a company will assist a student by funding their university or higher education. These bursaries often include living allowances, and pocket money. Sometimes the company will require you to work for them at minimum wage once you have graduated. These bursaries are provided to post-Matriculants who are in need of financial assistance and are dedicated to studying further.
Student Loan- This is a type of financial assistance provided by either the government or sometimes banks to pay for your college tuition. You are later required to pay back this loan with interest once you have stable income. Because of this, it is easier to apply for a Student Loan than any other type of financial aid. You are required to be accepted into a university and have someone to service you loan.
