Basic News Writing

Article 1 -
"Austin district holds community budget forum tonight"

Faculty, parents, and others listen intently to the administrators, they have a chance to understand what is to come during the next school year. The administrators lay down the 38- million dollar shortfall that has presented itself onto them. Hundreds of people are affected by this cut, employees, parents, and even, students. The A.I.S.D has decided to make these cuts in order to make it through the next school year, properly schooling kids as they should.
People can expect changes by the next school year. Some teachers might not be there, and you might see an a great number of classmates gone. This cut has lead to the closing of some schools, leaving kids to find other sources of schooling. This cut in the budget is necessary, and I believe that they have tried every which way possible to do it differently, but this is the only possible way. All we can do now is accept it and deal with it, and hope for a better situation next year.
Article 2 -
"Velarde testifies he received HGH injections from Bonds' trainer"

The famous Barry Bonds trial is almost to an end. Almost enough evidence to end this trial with a 'guilty' verdict, Randy Verlarde testifies against Barry bonds, saying that he has gotten regularly injections of growth hormones. Verlarde testifies that he paid 500$ to 800$ for each injection, often times meeting him in a parking lot outside of his spring baseball practice.
At least three more ballplayers testified against the claim that Mr.Bonds did not know that these were growth hormones. Eight more people, doctors from UCLA, Bonds' former shoppers, etc, came up and testified with chains of evidence leading towards this. It seems the whole team were taking these growth hormones, accelerating their strength and speed. This case can only have so much time before it reaches it's verdict.

Article 3 -
"Tens of thousands of evacuees can't head home for months"

The horrific earthquake and tsunami that had struck japan not so long ago has it's after effects. As millions of dollars are going into helping the victims of this natural disaster, the nuclear reactors that have been hit are having a meltdown. Hundreds of earthquake victims have been homeless, in need of food and help, they cry out for the loved ones they've lost.
As the situation unfolds, we witness the horrors that a natural disaster can cause, leaving us stuck to our seats in horror as our eyes search for any way to help them.
