Task 11: Reporting Controversial Stories (Quoting Opposing Viewpoints)

Date: 2015-10-07; view: 366.

Write a complete news story about the following controversy. As you write the story, present both sides as fully and as fairly as possible. Also, try to integrate those conflicting viewpoints. Instead of reporting all the opinions voiced by the first source, and then all the conflicting opinions voiced by the second source, try – when appropriate – to report both opinions about the story's most important issue. Correct any errors you may find in grammar, spelling and punctuation. Take into consideration the key discourse categories.
