21、Recording Your Life Online via Vlog

Whether you're a vlogger, a vlog fan or a complete vlogging newcomer, there is no denying that this method of communication has taken the world by storm. But what exactly is a vlog? A vlog is when someone records their life and put it online. Vlogging can be just a hobby or a full-time job. So how do you make a vlog? Let's find out!

Vlog Process

Once you have a few video ideas, making a vlog can be as easy as taking out a camera and recording yourself. But if you want to have a realistic flow, a video concept and some good clips(片段)to use, there should probably be some research and planning done first. Creating a checklist of things that need to be done can be helpful in the beginning. Next you can start thinking about talking points. You might write some key points or even a whole script. The third step is filming your vlog in clips, bit by bit. Vloggers hardly ever record a 20-minute video straight through without taking a break. After you have all the clips ready on your camera, it's time to upload them onto a laptop and start editing them.

Vlog Standards

It can be difficult to know how to make a vlog without knowing about the vlog requirements. The three main areas that you want to make sure are working for your vlog are image clarity, audio and copyright, and length. Unsteady or shaky video with copy-righted(受版权保护的)music will definitely combine to create a terrible vlog. Keep a steady hand and use online resources to get some music to pop into your vlog and you're on to a winner. The duration of the vlog depends on how often you post and the amount of content you have. If you put your vlog on the daily, your videos can be a bit shorter. But if you only put it online once every few weeks, it might be a good idea for a longer video. Remember these vlogs are not professional movies, so if you sometimes have shakes of a camera or a bit of bad lighting, people won't mind. It might even be lovely! Humans are not perfect creatures, and neither are your vlogs. Be happy with your current performance and know that even the best vloggers still have room for improvement.

【1】The article is written for________.

A．vlog editors

B．skilled vloggers

C．vlog critics

D．vlogging beginners

【2】What is the first step of making a vlog?

A．Come up with some video ideas.

B．Film the vlog in small dips.

C．Do some research and create a to-do list.

D．Think about talking points and topic.

【3】Which is the best vlog according to the article?

A．A short video with clear points.

B．A shaky video with copy-righted music.

C．A one-hour long vlog with only one clip.

D．A video with clear images and copyright free music.

22、    One day in class, the teacher held up an apple, stood in front of the class and said, “Please smell the smell in the air!”

One student raised his hand and answered, “I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple.”

The teacher stepped off the platform(平台), passed by each of the students and said, “Smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air.”

Half of the students raised their hands to show that they could smell it. The teacher returned to the front of the classroom and asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone raised their hand except one student. The teacher came to the student and asked, “You really can’t smell the apple?”

The student answered, “No, I can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a real apple.”

The teacher smiled at the student and said to the class, “He is right! This is not a real apple.”
