Does Reading Really Matter?
[1] Some people say that reading is not now as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can glance at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us hourly on radio and TV?
[2] Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very accurate idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopaedia, for example, is always better for good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good impression of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about where elephants are found, what types there are, what their exact size and weight are, how they are useful to man and so on.
[3] In the same way, a good feature film has action, movement, colour and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently.
[4] Television news broadcasts can certainly be interesting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important events happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains what has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on many subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in our own community and in other parts of the world.
[5] Reading is thus essential for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Moreover, reading is a skill, and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.

B) The radio brings you the latest news more quickly than newspapers.
C) A good encyclopaedia should have photographs.
D) An encyclopaedia must have writing.

A. also wants to prove that reading is the best form of entertainment.
B. doesn’t think that they are important.

D. says he never likes these forms of communication.
