ESLPodcast 31 - Reading the Newspaper
I fell into the habit of reading the newspaper every morning when I was a
kid. Back then, there used to be two daily newspapers--morning edition
and an afternoon edition. Nowadays, of course, many cities in the U.S. have
just a morning paper. I'm not too picky about which newspaper I read,
although when it comes to national newspapers, I prefer reading
the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal over USA Today.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not a news junkie. I just like browsing
the different sections, reading the headlines, and checking out the classifieds.
I usually skip the sports section and the funnies, and only flip
through the food and health sections, but I always read the front page and
the editorial page. On the weekends, I'll skim the entertainment
section for the movie listings and reviews.
I'm sort of old-fashioned
in that I still like reading a real, paper newspaper. Sure, I also read some of
my news online, but nothing beats lounging around on Sunday morning
reading the big, thick paper. Don't worry, though: I always recycle my stack
of newspapers.
