Abstract
This paper compares and analyses the news reports on international students' tea picking activity from 12 countries from Three Gorges University to Yicha Dafengkou Tea Plantation, a strategic partner of Yicha Group, organized by Angel Yeast and PR Newswire. This study compares and analyses the two news reports under the general framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), applying the Theme-Rheme theory of SFL, and analyses the information transfer mode and discourse theme-rheme features of these two news reports chosen by the writer so as to grasp the real intention and emotion of the original writer more closely, and to appreciate the subtle semantic differences and the deeper connotations from the perspectives of culture,economy and politics. The results of this study also show that the Theme-Rheme system can be used as an ideological tool for exploring the deeper intention behind the discourse.
