Many students have difficulty learning English. Some of them may think that it is a boring and difficult subject. However, learning English will not be weary anymore if we form a habit of reading English newspapers.
We can learn vocabulary from the newspapers. There are new words and informal expressions that we cannot learn from the textbooks. The new vocabulary helps us improve our writing. The most important is reading newspapers is more interesting than reading textbooks.
Reading newspapers allows us to have a better idea about what is happening in the world. The newspapers are a key to opening the door to the world. There are many incidents happening locally and elsewhere every day. Besides watching TV to get the latest information, we can also get the updates from the newspapers. After reading the newspapers, we can voice our opinions. That is a good way for learning how to present our ideas.
What is more, we can learn how to analyse current events from reading newspapers. Sometimes there is a commentary or review of an event. We can make our own judgement and develop independent thinking.
There are often interesting articles in the newspapers, such as articles introducing pop stars, movies, and lyrics from songs. They are meaningful, entertaining and unexpectedly attractive.
Reading newspapers is not at all a boring activity. It is not only educational, but entertaining as well. Therefore, we should start reading newspapers and enjoy it.
Yours faithfully,
