You should say:

·What the news was

·Who was involved in the news

·Where you read or heard about this news

And explain why this news was interesting to you

Actually, the good news that I wanna talk about was that the US started to offer 10 yrs period of tourist visa to Chinese applicants. In fact, the news was announced a couple of years ago but I really can’t think of anything contemporarily.

I believe the news was announced 3 years ago. At that time I was thinking about travelling to the US to visit my mum who immigrated to that country two years ago to marry her current husband. As you probably now, to apply for a US visa was really complicated. You have to prepare a huge amount of documents, including a certified copy of your birth certificate, bank statement and other supporting documents. Besides, you have to physically go to the US embassy for an interview and store your fingerprints. Most importantly, the visa was only valid for one year, which means you have to reapply and prepare all those things again.

Now, it is a different story. I only have to do that for once and the visa is valid for 10 years. So it save me a huge amount of time and money because the application fee is over 1000 yuan. I can still remember how excited I was the time when I heard about it from a news website. In fact, I called my mum straight away and she confirmed about the news. After going through all the process, now I have a visa valid for 10 years and I can go and visit my mum anytime I want. So that’s the good news that I want to talk about.
