me, I prefer reading a newspaper to
getting news in my device because
newspapers are more reliable.
I have an addiction of reading a
newspaper daily. The greatest
advantage of reading it is that it adds
value to my personality. Reading a
newspaper improves my English
or any other language in which I
am reading it. It also enhances my
confidence. I think newspapers
actually make our lives easier as we
are updated with the current issues,
achievements, facts, discoveries,
events and so on. Just imagine! All
of that news doesn’t cost more than
one manat.

There are dozens of newspapers
on every newsstand. There are
various newspapers and journals
for businessmen, children,
teenagers, men, women, sports
fans and even for those who like
gardening and keep pets. I agree
that with newspaper reading, we
constantly enhance our reading
skills, knowledge and a lot more.
However, I prefer getting all of these
in my device. I can’t imagine a day
without online news reading. Major
benefit about reading online news
is that I am updated in a matter of
minutes after the news is out, while
in newspapers I have to wait for the
next day. Another benefit is that it
saves a lot of time and money as I
don’t need anyone to deliver it to
my house. And, of course, it saves a
lot of paper too.
