题目内容:
People who report news sometimes find themselves in the news. This is especially true for foreign correspondents(记者), who risk their lives to bring us important stories from dangerous parts of the world. To learn more about the life of a foreign correspondent, we interviewed Tim Craig, who has covered the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Q1: What draw you personally to dangerous places?
Tim Craig (TC): Experiencing problems that still exist in the world, seeing the struggles that soldiers face to keep peace, and the calamity that people meet during the war, and gaining a better understanding of how people from different countries live.
Q2: What do you like about your job?
TC: I like being able to talk to lots of different people about their problems and concerns. Sometimes the job can make you sad. You have to talk to kids who don't get enough to eat, or to someone whose mother or father was killed. But then I get to try to help these people by writing about their lives and problems.
Q3 : Do you worry about your own safety? How do you deal with that?
TC: Yes, I do worry, but I try not to think about it all the time. In Pakistan, many places are still safe enough for me to travel to without having to worry a lot about being injured, killed or kidnapped(绑架). There are, however, some places where I have to think about my safety all the time. Generally, it's best to travel with someone else so that we can help each other if something goes wrong. In dangerous places,. I also try not to stay in one spot for too long.
Q4: What are the most important qualities or skills a foreign correspondent needs?
TC : Being independent and able to quickly make decisions, being a good planner in order to reach places that may be hard to get to by car or plane, and being a good listener.
