This story talks about how to live and work in New York as a foreigner. More specifically, the writer shares her own experience of staying in the Big Apple for one year.
About The Layout
Firstly, this story has two pictures, a bigger one of the Statue of Liberty on the top and a smaller one of Time Square down below, both with simple captions summarising key points.
Then, we can see bold font questions are put in the beginning, which can attract readers' eyeballs as well as raise their general consensus to ask the same questions and acquire the answers as the story unfold.
There is a list of Related Coverage on the left side of the text, which gives more information about other's opinions on immigration which provides access to learn more about the related issues.
Your Say is the section to interact with readers. But they are put in the wrong place. One of Your Says shows in the middle of the article, blocking the reading proceeding and the other one is laid on the button, giving some non-hyperlinkable Top websites to visit.
About The Content
Starting with four engaging questions as I mentioned above, the story is divided into four parts through which her first-hand experience is alternated with information of required type of visa to work in America, the J-1 visa.
As an informative story, it lacks of either the application details of J-1 visa or any helpful links to this specific issue, only stating that this visa allows unlimited working hour and it is simple but pricey to apply.
However, this story does raise my own feelings about being an international student alone in Australia, just like the Aussie writer tackling in America on her own. I can learn some suggestion in terms of how to seize opportunities when being unintentionally excluded.
Generally speaking, this story provides some useful information about living and working in America, especially in New York. It is more like an experience-telling type feature story although it is put under Travel category.
