1. John, could you please go on reading the paragraph.

The phrasal verb to go on means to keep on doing something, continue doing what you've previously been doing. In the sentence above, the teacher wants John to continue reading the paragraph because probably he stopped doing that, or he just took over from another student.

2. Prices have gone up again, I'm afraid.

The phrasal verb to go up means to become higher, to raise/rise. So if prices go up, it means that the objects in question have become more expensive. The opposite form of this phrasal verb would be to go down, when those things become less expensive, or rather cheaper.

3. You go in through that door over there.

The phrasal verb to go in means to enter a particular place, to be at a particular location that you previously haven't been in. So, in the case above, you are supposed to enter a particular building through a particular door that someone showed you.

4. The temperature went down ten degrees last night. It's now minus five.

The phrasal verb to go down means to become lower, to descend. So, if temperature went up, it means that it became cooler outside, and you'd have to wear warmer clothes. The opposite would be to go up, like in sentence number 2.

5. I'd like the problem to go away.

The phrasal verb to go away means to disappear, to not exist anymore, to leave. So, if you want something or someone to go away, you don't want to see them anymore. If your problem goes away, then you won't have a problem anymore because it will no longer exist.

6. I'll go over the instructions if you like.

The phrasal verb to go over something means that you will read it diligently, you will pay attention to every detail in order to understand what it is about. If you go over the instructions, it means that you are going to read them so as to know what to do.

7. They decided to go back because it started to rain.

The phrasal verb to go back means to return to a previous location, to be at the location that you were before you arrived at your next one. If you decide go outside and it starts raining, then you will probably go back home so as to avoid getting soaked in the rain.

What is the hourglass style of reporting? Why would a reporter use this style?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The hourglass structure is one such device. A story shape that journalists can employ when they have news to report and a story to tell. Earlier this week, I listened to Christine Martin, dean of West Virginia’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism, describe the form to Poynter’s summer fellows as a useful tool for reporters searching for a form.The best stories often create their own shape; writers consider their material, determine what they want the story to say, and then decide on the best way to say it.But journalists, like all writers, sometimes rely on tried-and-true forms and formulas: the inverted pyramid, the “five boxes” approach, the nut graf story. You need to be familiar with these forms whether or not you decide to write your story in a completely new way.“Formulaic writing has gotten a bad name,” says Poynter Online Editor Bill Mitchell, a veteran reporter and editor. “Done right, it diverts creatively from formula in ways that serve the needs of the story at hand. Tying the reporting, as well as the writing, to the form lends a discipline and focus that produce better stories.”The hourglass was named by my colleague Roy Peter Clark in 1983 after he had begun to notice something new in his morning paper.Clark was a likely discoverer. A college English literature professor-turned-newspaper writing coach and reporter, he used his skills as a literary scholar and his experience in the newsroom to deconstruct the form.In an article published in the Washington Journalism Review (since renamed American Journalism Review), he described this form and gave it a distinctive name: the hourglass. It provided an alternative, Clark said, “that respects traditional news values, considers the needs of the reader, takes advantage of narrative, and spurs the writer to new levels of reporting.”Clark said the hourglass story can be divided into three parts:Here you deliver the news in a summary lead, followed by three or four paragraphs that answer the reader’s most pressing questions. In the top you give the basic news, enough to satisfy a time-pressed reader. You report the story in its most concise form. If all that is read is the top, the reader is still informed. Because it’s limited to four to six paragraphs, the top of the story should contain only the most significant information.Here you signal the reader that a narrative, usually chronological, is beginning. Usually, the turn is a transitional phrase that contains attribution for the narrative that follows: according to police, eyewitnesses described the event this way, the shooting unfolded this way, law enforcement sources and neighbors agree.The hourglass can be used in all kinds of stories: crime, business, government, even to report meetings. It’s best suited, however, for dramatic stories that can be told in chronological fashion. In the right hands, as the following story from The Miami Herald illustrates, the hourglass is a virtuoso form that provides the news-conscious discipline of the inverted pyramid and the storytelling qualities of the classic narrative.
