though newspapers are not as quick as radio, reading from the newspaper can certainly bring us news more clearly and more exactly. furthermore, while reading, we have time to think about what we are reading, to judge it, to analyze it, and then we will be more aware of its cause and effect.
we are living in an information age. we have to make full use of the information we can get if we are to achieve our goals.
therefore, if we want to get the latest news, we can listen to the radio, but if we want to get the exact words, we’d better read the newspaper.
