Television news is the one that you not only listen but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at six o’clock in the evening. In the future new categories of news media will develop. Even today computers are beginning to influence the transmission and reception of news.

V. ERROR CORRECTION (2 pts)
There are ten errors in the following passage. Identify the errors, then underline and correct them. Write your answers in the numbered spaces.
How many times have you come back from what meant to be a relaxing holiday and said, “If only I stayed at home”? Why are holidays often more stressful than staying at home? It is not actually very surprising that foreign travel is tired and it is not just because of the distances involving. A successful trip needs planning and very careful preparation – this is a hard work. Having set up, you will probably have to spend hours in stuffy airports because endless delays. Flying, as everyone know, is itself a stressful experience for most people. Finally, you arrive in an unfamiliar environment with perhaps no knowledge whatsoever about the local language. It is almost like becoming a child again: one feels so helpless and stupid. Imagine not to be able to explain what you want to eat to a waiter or where you are staying to a taxi driver!
