Playgroups 'cut leukaemia risk'
Children who attend daycare or playgroups cut their risk of the most common type of childhood leukaemia by around 30%, a study estimates.
BBC news
Why I do like: This theme is very important in the present context. It encourage readers to read on to know more details about cutting the risk of leukaemia. Though this doesn’t indicate when it is common and important forever.
Family killed during raid in Gaza
Israelis and Palestinians have blamed each other for an explosion that killed a mother and her four children in Gaza
BBC
Why I do like: Though this story is regarding the war situation of two countries it highlight an incident of a mother and four children of her own. Readers will read on to know more details about the incident since the story shows that this is a very tragic story from the first sentence. And also the words used by the author is very effective.
Sponsorship Changes Two Lives
My experience as a Save the Children sponsor has truly changed my life, in that it has become part of my overall identity. In the end, I’m not sure who has grown more from the experience – my sponsored children or myself.
Save the children
Why I do like: The author used very simple language and it makes the readers more intresting to read. Also from the first sentence it shows that this is a very exciting story. As this is an experience of a woman she herself is telling the story. It is more effective and used more quotes in it.

Playgroups example:
Lets break it down with the 5 Ws.
Who: Children who attend daycare
What: Cut risk of leukemia by 30%
Where: generic - not tied to a place
When: now
Why: Doesn't tell you - but tells you a study has been done.
This is a very tight news intro with all the facts you need to know.
Family killed example:
Yes Buddhi - you are completely right here. The story of the war is old news - so instead the journalist has focused in on a single incident that has killed a mother and her children. This highlights the human cost of this war and makes it personal - and therefore interesting.
Save the children:
Again Buddhi - you are totally right. Because this is written in the first person, it draws you in and you want to find out more about the person who is writing.
It talks about personal feelings - and even a feeling of surprise which intrigues the reader.
