Text: The Newspaper Reporter
I am a newspaper reporter. I am more interested in social affairs, therefore, I carry out interviews with people from different classes : Rich, poor, etc…
I like my job and I am very good at it. I can't type very fast, and I remember every word I hear in the interviews.
I have a method of getting information from the ordinary persons in the street. For example, yesterday I went to a public garden and sat in the sun. Immediately an old woman came and sat next to me. She looked unhappy. A few minutes later, I unwrapped a chocolate bar making noise on purpose to attract her attention. She turned her head and I offered her a piece of chocolate. After that, she told me her story. She is homeless, she sleeps in the bus station. She thinks that the government should pay more attention to these poor people. I gave her some money and went to my office to type a report.
