Which media is your choice?

Time has changed, technology is becoming more sophisticated, all sorts of
significant changes from various angles that we can see today. Among
them, the TV broadcasting system in Malaysia, many things have been
upgraded before the existence of cell phones, more sophisticated tablets.
So, we want to share some comparisons between TV broadcasting
systems then and now, maybe it seems a bit cliché but there is something
more significant change that we want to know. Let's see.

PREVIOUS ERA

If you first look at any story, it must be the best even if
there is no color. Imagine if nowadays people still watch
black and white TV, it must be bored, especially when
the action stories which are becoming more and more
so. Lost the feeling that the story is still in black and
white. Imagine first we only have TV 1 & TV2, we don't
want to change the broadcast much. Then came TV3
and other FTA broadcasts, if you want to join that, there
is still a limit. But maybe many people didn't know that
around 1994, there was Mega TV, a pay-TV, maybe the
current generation doesn't know the coat because it
didn't get a response from consumers and continued to
be disbanded.

NOWADAYS:

Not to mention color, even HD, 3D is already there!
Mistakes later there is also a TV hologram. You can see
all kinds of stories clearly, without any interruption. Even
the audio quality from the TV is getting higher. There are
no more noises that bother you until you must fix the
antenna on the roof of the house. There are many pay
TV broadcasts now, there are many to choose from, all
at your fingertips. Choose to see what stories are all
there, sometimes until you don't watch them all. There
are still those who say, "TV is bored with no stories".
That's weird!

Worksheet Question 2:
If there are noises that bother you on TV
Based on the text given, fill the blank with your nowadays, what kind of actions can you
correct answer. do?

When was it that people didn’t know

SUGGESTED ANSWER: INTRODUCTION
BODY
Sansong Dynamic 21
CONCLUSION
I have been checking out some Android phones and the Sansong Dynamic 21 does
look superior. It has a big-screen, offering a dynamic 6.8-inch display that scales from
10 Hz for super smooth performance.

The dual telephoto cameras, with 3x and 10x optical zoom, and the ability to
zoom up to 100x is what set it apart from the other Android phones. The overall
camera quality is improved, if compared with older models. I managed to take a few
shots around the night market and the photographs were amazing. You can record
using the front and back cameras at the same time. It is also stable even though I was
running. The smartphone has an 8k video resolution. I watched a movie with it and
the screen was true to life.

However, the recorded video was rather blurry at the darker places. When
compared to another phone of the same range, the pictures look rather unnatural.
The video quality needs improving. Besides, the portrait mode stil needs some
improvements.

I would recommend this phone if you can afford the price. It is definitely one of
the best phones in the market at this moment.

How to construct sentences in the Passive Voice in
English
We make the passive by putting the verb 'to be'
into whatever tense we need and then adding
the past participle. For regular verbs, we make the
past participle by adding 'ed' to the infinitive.
So play becomes played. 

Tense Active Passive

Present simple I make a cake. A cake is made (by me).

Present continuous I am making a cake. A cake is being made (by me).

Past simple I made a cake. A cake was made (by me).

Past continuous I was making a cake. A cake was being made (by me).

Present perfect I have made a cake. A cake has been made (by me).
