Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Dear friends, The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there. And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers. Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary people like you and me. But am I good enough? I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help. Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed. The promise that paid off The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: you will complete at least one manuscript suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course. I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute. Since graduation, I have written 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles. Free test and brochure We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training. Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it disappears forever. Sincerely, Kristi Hill Institute of Children's Literature Question: Why does Kristi Hill mention her own experience of attending the courses? Answer:
Answer: To promote the writing program.

Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: When TV news programmers report wars or diseases, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don't want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they"may find some of these scenes disturbing", so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes, the TV cameramen, have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how unpleasant they may be. As a result, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally _ jobs the world has to offer. Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable demand for TV information. But major broadcaster sand the TV news agencies , such as Reuters and WTN, have never had enough staff to meet thje worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to freelance TV cameramen. These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelance must survive on his own. "TV will always need hard, vivid and moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books."Explains Nik Cowing, once a foreign editor for Britain's Channel 4 news and now a BBC news presenter. "By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to reduce the risk."He says. Question: TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to _ . Answer:
Answer:
get first-hand information and pictures
