Writing exercise: Current Events

I like to be on top of the news. Every morning, while I'm drinking my coffee at breakfast, I watch the news on the TV before going to work. I like listening not only to the current events of my country but also what's happening in the world. Sometimes I follow how some news unfolds by checking it on the internet during the day. I've always found it interesting knowing what is going on in the world: it's like watching the history happening now and, at the same time, it makes you quite knowledgeable. Furthermore, since I've been learning English, I've been practicing the language by talking with people from foreign countries. Therefore I acknowledge I've noticed how useful it is to be well informed about the situation in their homeland because I can to keep the conversation going on smoothly. Needless to say, it is also a way to demonstrate that I care about the situation in their country.
