Task Description:
Today we were tasked to be a news reporter! We had to pick a story and report it on the news. Everything in this video is true, except for the start (before the story). Here is the link to the article here: https://www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz/company-fires-900-people-via-zoom-call/
Kia Ora, in todays breaking news story we are heading out of NZ, to see what a US company has done to their workers. 900 of Better.com's workers have been fired, but there's more to the story. Listen to the video to find out - the shocking facts.
Kia Ora Kiarah,

This is an amazing video, you spoke perfectly with great pace and pitch. What an interesting news story as well, I can not imagine how horrible it would be to be fired in a three minute zoom call in such a rude way but I am glad he has since apologised.
Is there are particular reason as to why you chose to share this article?
Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!
Ngā mihi nui,

Hi Zana,
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the kind words, I looked at news videos for about 15 minutes to master the pitch. It is nice that he has apologised! I chose this article, because it shows how we rely on technology for everything! It shows that we have a choice to socialise (wear masks, safe distance etc.), but most of the time we choose the easy way out. Which is a quick video chat, for three minutes firing 900 employees. Once again thank-you for the comment!
