The document discusses two types of writing: narrative and news. Narrative writing tells a story from a narrator's point of view, including introduction, body, and conclusion, and allows readers to use their imagination. News writing reports on current events factually based on actual occurrences as gathered by journalists, following conventions like the 5W's and with the goal of public service through relevant, timely information. Both narrative and news play important roles in how people understand the world by sharing experiences and informing about current affairs.
