Answer:
the only way to get accurate information is to go there and see what is happening
Explanation:
From the statement "But war reporting is still essentially the same - someone has to go there and see what is happening." The contradiction Colvin uses is that even with the use of technology such as satellite phone, camera and so on, the only way to get accurate information is to go there and see what is happening, and then report the news in TV, blogs or twitter. You cannot get information without going to those places.
Explanation:
In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,
<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>
The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.
By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.
By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.
Here's some tips about formal language:
1. Usually, it's best to replace abbreviations with their original word. For example, if you wanted to say "it's", you'd say "it is".
2. Use vocabulary words that are more descriptive. This doesn't nessesarily mean more complicated words. For example, if you were to say "Jellyfish can live without causing harm to people", instead of "live", you could say "thrive".
3. This is just a Grammar mistake - "jellyfishes" isn't a word, but "jellyfish" is (just like "fishes" isn't a word).
Hope this helps!
