richiej95 20 Posted February 3, 2012 Hi everyone, I am a 16 year old aspiring journalist and fellow speedway fan, and I write articles about the world of sport on my blog. I have written a preview to the 2012 Grand Prix season for my latest article and posted the link below. I would very much appreciate it if you could read the article and give me any feedback as I am only young and still learning. Thanks!

richiej95 20 Posted February 4, 2012 Understand you may disagree with my predictions, they are pretty controversial I will admit. Hard to put such good riders into an order. Top 6 I would say will be very equal and tight-packed this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horneymikh 86 Posted February 4, 2012 Nice article, well written IMO. Tough one to call this season, I'll go for AJ to win it, if he can carry on his form from the end of last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted February 4, 2012 A very well presented, and laid out article which was easy to understand and a pleasure to read. Thank you and keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted February 4, 2012 Excellent piece of work for one so young, and please don't take that as patronising. Journalism like so many things in life is about making your own decisions and expressing your own opinions. Stick in there and stick with what you believe ... good luck in your endeavours!

stratton 1,491 Posted February 4, 2012 Jonesy i think you should do a report on every gp,would be excellent .A good way of the stats being on hand round to round,I would look forward to it maybe an idea ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted February 6, 2012 To agree with the other posters, I found this an excellent preview, insightful and well written (and I also agree with a lot of your predictions!) For what it's worth, my one suggestion would be to reduce (or remove) the usage of phrases such as "in my opinion" or "i think". The reader should be aware that what they are reading is an opinion, and that renders (in my view) these phrases redundant. So for example, rather than saying for example "his inconsistency will cost him a top8 place in my opinion" I'd say "his inconsistency is likely to cost him a top 8 place." Feel free to ignore this if you disagree. Would also be interesting if Philip Rising could give his thoughts, as he obviously has a degree of experience with this sort of thing.
