	 4a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Based on the topics covered in our classes, we can say the main difference between NEWS and CURRENT EVENTS is that (choose the right option):
		
	
	there is no difference between the two
	
	news is always presented in written form
	 
	not all current events make it to the news
	
	current events are abstract and news is concrete
	
	current events concern with important people only
	
Explicação:
News is different from current events because not all current events make it to the news. For a current event to become News, someone or a reporter must have taken interest in the spread of such event. If not a current event may occur without ever getting into the news until later in the future. In the same way, not all news item are current events. A person may be interested in an old story. Digging up age long information about remarkable stories becomes news. So an event need not be a current event before it becomes news.
