All correct except ( ) the newspaper.There is an article about tigers in the newspaper.Use “on” with news and “in” with newspaper.e.g. There is something about tigers on the news. Both “I wake up at night” and “I wake up in the night” are correct.“I wake up in the night” is correct in certain contexts. In English, it is possible to tell a joke or a narrative story using the present tense. If you refer to an incident for one particular night, you can say e.g. “I wake up in the night…… and there's this ghost standing in front of me… etc…… etc.……..”
