Genre: Narrative PoemA narrative poem is a rhythmic poem that tells a story.
Watching the News
My dad can’t get enough of the news that’s on TV. He watches his news channel each night religiously.
I don’t understand my dad’s daily fascination. The stories seem the same:politics, death and destruction.
He holds the remote control in his hand, sitting in a big armchair. His chair reclines so far back that his legs are raised in the air.
I wish he liked a programme with more action and some laughs. But instead he likes the news, with reporters and their graphs.
We are not allowed to talk when the news is on air. If we dare to speak a word, we are treated to a stare.
‘Shhhhhh!’ says my dad, as soon as the news theme plays. The torture starts before the studio is even on display.
He sends my sister to her room, as she can’t stop making noise. And secretly I think that she prefers the company of her toys.
10
What I KnowWhat is the main idea of this text?
a. The narrator doesn’t like the news.
b. The narrator’s mum loves the weather report.
c . The narrator’s dad loves watching the news.
He sends my sister to her room, as she can’t stop making noise. And secretly I think that she prefers the company of her toys.
As the breaking news is read by a lively news anchor, I wonder why they’re so chirpy when the news couldn’t be bleaker.
Every night they are the same, the reporters on the screen, holding the microphone a lot like an ice cream.
As the news progresses and the headlines are explored, I feel my head nodding, and my mother begins to snore.
I don’t understand My dad’s daily fascination. The stories seem the same: just set in a new location.
But my dad can’t get enough of the news that’s on TV. He watches his news channel, each night religiously.
She wakes up towards the end when she hears the weather reporter.She knows the news is almost done,and it’s time for dinner.
When the news is finally over and my sister can return, we eat together as a family, and my father isn’t stern.
I just wish he liked a programme that would make him smile more, Something besides the news with never-ending tales of war.
