The word that I have chosen is false. I chose this word because a lot of news that we see looks real but sometimes is too good to be true so I enjoy looking at it and seeing if I can decipher whether this is real. It is important to remember this because we must remember that some things are too good to be true although some strange thigs are real.
The word I chose is a task that summarizes the news for me because it is very important for me to talk about the news because it is a window to the outside world ... because it is a source of renewal, change and inspiration ... because reading more news means more knowledge, culture and learning ... because it fills people's ears and attracts them.
Wahwah: It means the strong, strong, so if we say about a person that he is wahwah, we praise him and we mean that he is strong.The reason for my choice of this word is that it expresses everything. With strength we defy difficulties, with strength we continue the path, with strength we achieve goals, and with strength, science and knowledge build minds.
The word l have chosen is "awareness". This word sums up the news for me because…
1. To find out what is going on around us.
2. Arranging and organizing the course of our lives according to the extent to which we are affected by these events, by their proximity or distance from us, or their economic or humanitarian impact on us.
3. There is news that we follow out of curiosity and it affects us psychologically like wars.
I hope that the news in all countries of the world will be joyful and peace will be achieved for all. To achieve equality and non-discrimination.
My word is "Hope" the reason is because when I hear something good it tells me we have hope and we could get through anything . If it is something wrong going, I think of hope that we could go through this and help the problem. For an example when it was lockdown it was a prison for me but then and again I thought of hope, which when a next year later gone, lockdown was gone why because I go and watch the news everyday I hear something good for an example " the virus has been easing since the last week" which mean that we could go through anything and when I don't hear something good that like as in a example "We are going back to lockdown because since the virus has gone worse" as I hear this from the news I only think of one thing hope which inspire me to stay strong and what I am suppose to do, and next thing you know it is gone, Which is the reason why I suggest the word "hope"
The word I have chosen is 'knowledge'.
This sums up the news for me because when you read or see news, it will always be information -packed and make us aware of all the good and bad things that are happening all around the world. There is a saying that goes 'Knowledge is power' - we can endeavour to help make positive changes around us and encourage others to do the same.
The word I chose is 《awareness》This word sums up the news for me because the news is the main partner in building this awareness, due to the large flow of information and news, awareness has become the way to prevent false news and fight false content, and thus I have the ability to perceive facts and reality and avoid content. Shaded posts....
The word I have chosen is "unbelievable"
This word sums up the news for me because not all news is true and often it is false and fabricated.
The word I have chosen is: " Communiqué".
This word sums up the news for me, because: for me, news are like an official announcement or statement, which can be either fake or real.
Communiqué, means official communication, especially for the press or public...
The word I have chosen is educational.
This word sums up the news for me because I had the belief that gender bias wasn't so bad and I thought that with or without the movement the whole gender inequality problem would work itself out.
But then I came to the realization that there are a lot of voiceless girls and without the movement, they'll be stuck with no hope for the end of the bias, I have been educated on how negatively the bias has affected a lot of young girls around the globe.
The word I have chosen is "informative". This word sums up the news for me because it provides useful and interesting information.
The word I choose is 'fascination' because all the information I have learnt from the global conversation is fascinating because it helps me to know about the current happenings in the world.
The word I have chosen is "invaluable". This word sums up the news for me because to me the news is extremely useful; indispensable and vital. News is key to ones existence on earth, because it divulges and discloses the incredible and unknown things happening around you and in the world, which keeps one well informed and vigilant of the environment he lives in.
The word I have chosen is "communication"and I have chosen this word because I feel the news helps us communicate with one another. If there's no news then there's no communication and it leads to unawareness, because the news communicates to us what goes on in the world and if the news doesn't communicate to us what is happening then we are unaware. Communication regarding to gender equality has helped women know their rights and speak up for themselves because there are women who have also believed in the false stereotypes in the world but through the news, they have been communicated to and told that they are not weak, or less important than the men, or they can't perform the functions men perform and it has helped women build their morale.
The word I have chosen is ''humility''.this word means shaving or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance.
It sums up the news for me because people who are being biased when it comes to the female gender should try to be humble and acknowledge and appreciate the female gender. If people all over the world develop the spirit of humility then the issue of gender bias in every aspect would not be a topic of discussion today but I believe that a change can start from young minds like myself and other students which I hope would inculcate the spirit of humility and be a great change.
I choose vision as i find that all we need to fix all the world's troubles is to see past someone's outer differences.
The word (focus) means to me that I work slowly and patiently, and do not rush. This word can make a person pay more attention and think deeply If we follow the news, it makes us question the news, focus and understand why this news was issued.
I am going to choose the word sun because it's like the news when it starts with shocking things just like the spears of light you see when you look at the sun early in the morning and the more it continues it gets serious and that means you are talking business news. The higher the sun goes the hotter the day becomes just like when you watch the news and find more intriguing news one after the other and finally the sunsets living you feeling happy or sad at the end of the day just like when the news is almost ending, they show your favorite team either losing or winning which may make you feel sad at the ending of watching news.

For example: (The war between Ukraine and Russia revealed many facts, this word means a lot to me!)
"culture" This word sums up the news for me because we know a lot of information and we share it among ourselves and we know the events around us, and there can be a job opportunity and we know through news and other things. We can also say that it is "instant information" because it spreads the news in a few times to the whole world
News (climate) Many studies say that (Covid 19) has had a significant impact on the climate. When curfews were in place for months and transportation was limited as well, this mitigated the threat of global warming, but now weather experts are urging to use of Environmentally friendly energy, and solar energy, to protect our planet and make it more sustainable.
The word I have chosen is "probable". This word sums up the news for me because what we hear on the news has the probability of being true or false. The world has become technologically advanced and for this reason we have multiple news sources with multiple kinds of news which has made it hard for people to discern factual news from fictitious news making the news probable of being true or false.
The word I have chosen is 'FEAR'. Everyday when I listen to the news it just portrays the bad things that are happening even though I know that it is meant to keep me informed I just keep on having a feeling of doubt that I may not be able to achieve my dreams. Lately it has been news about wars or economic failure, new found diseases and others but nothing shows positivity except towards the end where there is entertainment and even in this segment there is still something bad. I know its part of life to hear bad things but lately the news just gives me anxiety because I do not know if I am next.

The word I have chosen is "empowerment". Though! the news could be summed up by many words I choose empowerment, to me it is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights. This word sums up the news for me because I feel what the news is trying to build or impact in us, is to reach a point in life where everybody is treated equally irrespective of their gender whether girl or boy, man or woman. What the news entails is that every female or male irrespective of age could stand to break the bias in our daily life.
The word the I picked is "opinions". The reason I picked this because in the news we are hearing from other people's thoughts and perspectives. From different countries and people on the media.
I would choose the word "history"
Because the events that happen and the news that are broadcast, they are initially documented with a special date and special occasions, and the next day, or the following week, or the following year becomes the date of the event and ends, but it is. Remembered over time. In the old days, battles were news, not history. Famines and the inventions of scholars and influencers were all news and events of their time, and with the passage of time they became an unforgettable history.
The word i chose is "influence".
Because influence means effecting someone into some belief or opinion, which i think suits news because it gives people information to "influence" them into believing or supporting something, that's appearintly it's job!
The word I chose is (window) that sums up the news for me because it informs us about the world and what is going on around us, and each channel has its own news programs and its distinctive style of presenting various news. It is the human right to know what is going on around him, and the news is intended to provide us with sound information and firm facts.
My word that I chose “understanding” because I feel like if you don’t have a great understanding of the news you might not understand or tell the difference between fake news and real news.
I think that the word news is derived from the abbreviation of the phrase "notable events , weather and sports" or that the initials of the compass N E W S W are incorrect
“Extermination”.
Although this word describes something extremely disastrous and conveys a strong sense of negation, it warns us intensely how false or misunderstood news would affect some innocent individuals’ lives. As teenagers it is crucial for us to care others and strive to make the world better, and it can only be done by “comprehending” and “understanding” news rather than “watching” and “reading” them plainly.
My word is Bias/Unequal becausen these words show how not everyone is treated equally...
The word I chose is... (courage) This word sums up the news for me because manliness and courage are two great qualities, and they are two of the qualities that complement each other in the end. The Arabs are old and are still proud of these qualities because they express the value of a man in front of people.
Thanks for your comment busy_studio. You suggest that manliness and courage are similar qualities. Do you think associating being "manly" with being courageous is a good or bad thing? Can you think of some reasons why this might have negative effects?

The word I chose to describe the news is informative.This is because the news has different types of information that can be helpful to you and can warn you for any incoming updates or dangers.
The word I have chosen is 'intellectual'.
I have chosen this word because I feel like journalists that write the news have to use their brains intellectually to intrigue their readers and make them want to read on, for example, the news takes a simple thing such as 'Borris Johnson disagreed with the Queen' makes it a whole lot bigger, and changes it into 'Borris Johnson criticizes the Queen's decisions' so the readers will want to read it more. ✨
My word is vast, since the news has a wide range of criteria, headlines and loads of exciting separate news stories that have loads of information about them. The news also has a large range of sources, some reliable and some unreliable, that head to many different newspapers. News is also vast since it derives from different countries and regions, being almost never ending.
In my opinion, I would describe the news as ENLIGHTENING. The news can be seen as a global medium in which information is passed through. Enlightenment can be said to be one of the major features of the news asides education and entertainment

So yes “various” is the word I’ve chosen to describe news.
