Question
Write conversation on the following situation.
Between two friends about the importance of reading newspapers
Solution
| A | Do we need newspapers? We have different sources of news. Even an android phone gives one access to different kinds of news. |
| B | Well, the question is how important is the reading of newspapers? |
| A | My contention was that one can read the e.version. |
| B | Read any version, brother. Newspapers must be read. |
| A | Why do you advise it so strongly? |
| B | I advocate reading of newspaper strongly because most of the students focus only on their Board exams or class tests. If they cultivate the habit of reading newspapers, their knowledge of the world will expand. In the future, they will be in a comfortable position to prepare for any competitive examination including the IAS examination. |
| A | We will tell all our friends about this. |
| B | That’s nice. |
