WRITING WORKSHOP a short article

A Read this news article. What problem does Mr. Evans have?

Since City Council member Paul Evans announced that he would run as a
candidate in the election for the Mayor of Seattle, people seem to be talking about only one
thing: his weight! In a press conference yesterday, Mr. Evans announced that he was going to
have surgery to help him lose weight before the election next fall. He said that he planned to
lose a total of about 45 kg by this time next year. Mr. Evans said that he was not having the
weight loss surgery to help his public image, but because he wanted to improve his health
for the physical demands of a political campaign and of being mayor. He said he would have
the surgery in Seattle at the end of this month, and that he would return to work after a few
weeks. If the council member’s weight loss effort is successful, perhaps the media will stop
talking about his weight and start talking about his policies.

B A news article should answer the questions Who? What? When? Where?
and if possible, Why? Scan the article and find the answers to these
questions.
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why? to improve his health

C Look back at the article. What details does the writer include to give more
information about the main points?

• a topic sentence
• answers to the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why?
• supporting details to give more information if necessary
• a concluding sentence
