My Relationship With Mass Media

The easiest way to know more about what is happening in the world is through media. For me, internet is the most important medium. I use it every day. It really helps me a lot since I can do my research by searching it in Google, contact my friends in Facebook, Skype, and I can also update the news through internet.

When I was a student in Macao, books are essential things in my school life. I can do nothing without textbooks in classes, and reading novels is always a part of my homework. I consider books as my working partners but not read for interest.

Students, including me, in Macau are forced to read the newspapers at least once a week. I consider it as an extra burden for my heavy school bag. In fact, the press in Macau is controlled by the Government, so I dislike watching newspapers.

I seldom buy magazines. I usually use to read my mom’s magazines. As the culture of Hong Kong and Macao are probably the same, the magazines that the shops sell are from Hong Kong. I read it for entertainment purpose only, but I don’t really like it because it really takes time for me to read over it.

Listening to Music is probably one of the hobbies for all the teenagers and I am not an exception. I use to buy the CDs to support my favorite singers but most of the songs that in my ipod are downloaded from the internet.

I only listen to the radio when I am in my friends’ cars. I have no interest on listening to it because I think that it is boring.

I watched dramas of the Hong Kong TV channels every day when I was in Macao. It is one of my entertainments of my daily life in Macao.

For me, watching movies is a kind of entertainment only. When there is a holiday, then I will go to theatre with my friends. The last movie that I have watched is Final Destination during my summer holiday.
