Thanks to the development of communication technologies, nowadays people can gain massive amounts of information in a relatively short period. A variety of different news sources have created on TV, the Internet and social media. Since news plays a crucial part in our daily life, it is important to choose them wisely. In my point of view, it will be better to read news provided by people with different perspectives.
First of all, information from a variety of sources reveals the truth more accurately. Since different news sources give a wide range of viewpoints, it provides us a whole picture of an event. While gathering information about political or economic news, it is especially important to refer to news from different media agencies. Recent research shows that around forty percent of political news are biased because they include too much personal opinions rather than facts. Take my country for example, more than fifty percent of political news are purposely created in order to make people vote for specific political parties. Therefore, referring to a variety of news sources plays an import part not only in gathering facts but also in decision-making.
Secondly, gaining information from different sources expands one’s horizon. Since perspective is the way individuals see the world, which is shaped by experiences, value and the assumption they bring into the situation, reading news from perspectives give us meaningful opportunities to reflect the blind spots we have. Take my own experience for example, I was used to reading technology news from one single company. One day, I accidentally saw a sociology magazine, which introduces some development of technology in sociology fields. It wasn’t until that day did I realize there can be a strong connection between social science and computer science. This interesting experience reminds me the importance of expanding my horizon by reading various kinds of materials.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that gathering news from different sources is valuable. This is because it gives us meaningful opportunities to better connecting the world, and it also broadens our horizon.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
