Even if we have not visited a place, we all have an image in our minds of what that place is like this what we mean when we say, this what we perceive the place to be like. Where does this information come from? Unless you know someone who has visited a place, it is likely that you will form your opinions from the media what you read, what you hear and what you see. Sometimes an expert may tell you about a place your teacher for example. These experts may or may not have visited a place but they have learnt something about it and they share their knowledge and understanding about that place with you. When we learn about a place for the first time, what is the best source of information? Who do we trust? When we have only small pieces of information, it does not help to give us a fair impression of what a place is like. If the information we use contains bias, we may get the wrong idea about what the place is like. Africa is a continent but often the media talks about Africa as if it is one country and is all the same everywhere you go. As a general rule, the media loves reporting bad news and only rarely reports good news. Have a look at the image below which shows a web page taken from the BBC news website. What impression does it give you about life in Africa? Use some of the highlighted words in your answer.
