dangerous, like chopping carrots, or sewing(缝) something. Cuz, apparently, I may get injured by

There are several ways to protect wild animals. As a normal person, we could stop buying anything
made of the wild animals’ body parts, for example, fur products and ivory products. At the same

Yes. Because it is the only way I (and many others too) would see these animals in person. Zoos
also educate people about animals, and tell us about the ones in danger of extinction. Some
animals are so in danger that there are more of them in zoos than in the wild. Zoos also take in
animals that would otherwise be killed, because there is nowhere else for them to go.

Part 1 Travel
Personally speaking, the place that left the deepest impression on me was Vancouver, which is a
coastal city in western Canada. I stayed there for nearly half a year when I was an exchange
student. I enjoyed travelling around the city and exploring its natural scenery.
Well, I’ve traveled to many North American cities as well as Asian cities, including New York,
Washington D. C., Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Bangkok and so on. I visited these cities during my

messages which need to be replied immediately will be delivered through text messages or phone

should write back carefully and seriously but not necessarily to be quick.

Generally speaking, I take buses twice a day since I commute to work. Normally I spend one hour
to travel by bus if there’s no traffic congestion. But on weekend I prefer metro since it is
accessible in all directions of the city, which is much faster and more convenient.
Sure. Traveling by flight takes less time and it’s considered to be safer than taking a train since
there is a very small risk of plane crashing. While traveling by trains saves more money and it
provides frequency departure and relatively flexible timetable than flight does.

10.Is driving to work popular in your country?
Yes, it’s quite common to drive to work here. With the increase of our living standard, cars are
becoming affordable to most people, no matter singled or married. Most importantly, teeming
underground carriages are unbearable indeed during rush hours compared to traffic queues on
highway.
Well I don’t think so. Realizing the situation of our severe traffic congestion and perfect public
transportation system, I believe people will get rid of private transportation to some extent. By the

I live in a spacious apartment with the area of 170 square meters. To be more specific, it is a

confidence. Regardless of these worries, I am still looking forward to learning about how to swim.
It is not only because swimming is a necessary skill set that comes in handy(派上用场), but also
because facing your fears is an important lesson in life. If I have to deal with my fears in other
forms sooner or later, I would rather prepare myself for that challenge by proactively learning how
to swim.

historical culture. Constructions in the Forbidden City are orderly, lined up from north to south and
perfectly aligned(完美地对齐分布在) on the left and right side of the central line, making the
architecture a stunning view to visitors. Palaces in the front part of the Forbidden City are
magnificent, symbolizing the paramount power(至高权力) of the imperial authority back then, while

Well, in China, men and women relax in different ways. For most men, playing poker or chess with
a couple of friends on the weekend is a fun way to pass time. And as far as I know, many men also

Not necessarily, I’d say. I mean, leisure activities are supposed to help people wind down. You
know, to relieve people from the hectic or even stressful life for a bit. So I don’t see the point to
making them educational. There are certain activities that are indeed educational though, such as
sports activities which can teach people about cooperation and team spirit. And I do think it’s a
good idea to engage children in such activities. So they could learn something meaningful and
useful, while they enjoy themselves. However, that doesn’t mean all leisure activities should be
educational.

4.Do men and women like different leisure activities?
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Men generally prefer more active activities, such as basketball or football. I
guess it’s because being engaged in those activities, they could not only bond with their mates,
but also to build their muscles. You know, one stone, two birds! Besides, many men, teenagers or
adults, enjoy playing computer games. Well, I suppose most girls wouldn’t think it’s fun to sit in
front of a screen all day long. Girls generally would go for activities like Yoga to shape their body,
or hang out in shopping centres. Yeah, do some girl things, you know.

1.What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking photos with smart-phones?
Indeed smart-phones have some merits when taking photos. You see, it is convenient. A phone is

Children are natural painters. I mean, for children, painting is about the most common way to
资
express themselves. If they are encouraged to paint, basically they are given the opportunity to
develop and nourish their imagination. In the long run, this will do great good to their mental
development. Not only that, painting can help children concentrate. Children are active, oh, actually
some children are too active that they can’t even sit down for five minutes. But painting requires
them to focus and be quiet. When they are immersed in painting, they will naturally develop their
concentration skills.

Well,to be an artist certainly requires a tremendous amount of hard work. Only if you are
dedicated to what you do can you achieve the best results, isn’t it so? But that being said, to be a
famous artist like Van Gogh does demand natural gifts. You can’t imagine a painting like The
Starry Night came only from hard work, can you? I mean, a painting like that is something genius.
It takes inspiration. I’m afraid that’s not something that a person like you and I can sit down to
accomplish. So can we become a well-known artist through hard work? Well, it’s possible, but not
probable.

Part 3 新题:不告诉别人的真相
Most parents think children lie to get something they want, avoid getting caught or get out of
something they don’t want to do. These are common motivations, but there are also some less
obvious reasons. If the kids get a new idea, they might wish to test it out and see what happens.
Under such circumstances, the kids lie. In some other conditions, they lie to gain self-esteem and
approval, because maybe the lie can make them look good and seem more impressive. And of
course, there are times that the kids need to tell white lies, for example, to spare someone’s

the classic example of “do I look fat in this dress?” In this case, it’s bad, not because they look fat
or otherwise, but because they feel like it matters. It doesn't. They’re beautiful regardless. If you
find out your friend is being cheated on, and you know this for certain, should you tell? Your friend
may be devasted, yes, but in the long run you know that their significant other doesn’t deserve
them and they will be better off knowing the truth sooner rather than later.

People talk about small trivial subjects on the phone. I mean, phone conversation is usually to
deliver some urgent message. Most people would prefer to communicate face to face when it
comes to important matters. I mean, generally it is like that. You see, important matters are always
discussed face to face. For example, nobody would settle down the contract terms over the phone.
They’d sit down to talk about it. I guess that’s why country leaders fly around to visit each other
for important matters, rather than talking on the phone. Right? So, I suppose face to face

face communication carries with it, you do have to travel to meet someone if you want to talk face
to face. That traveling can take up quite a bit of time, especially when you live in big cities where
traffic conditions are often terrible! Apart from that, as` I mentioned earlier, face to face
communication is more straightforward and direct. So if the subject is sensitive, and the

In my opinion, young people are often more interested in living in new houses, while the elders
prefer to stay in their old dwellings. You see, most new houses are built in busy areas where there
are commercial centres, leisure facilities and modern transport means like the subway. These are
all necessities to the young generation, because they are drawn to the fast-paced modern lifestyle.
However, for the old generation who have lived in an old house for many decades, their old houses
hold too many sweet memories. Moving out means abandoning their dear memories. That’s what

I think in today’s world, a teachers’ job has become much more difficult. That’s mainly because
many children today are spoiled at home. Teachers must basically provide supervision as well as
care 24/7. Take my mother as an example, she is a middle school teacher. She worries about her
students all the time, and her phone is available for her students at all times. Besides, she keeps in
touch with all the parents, just in case of emergencies. But when she was a student herself, her
teachers were only responsible for teaching and her parents had never even met her teachers.

free. The government pays for children’s education. However, if you send your children to a private
school, the tuition alone would cost a fortune, let alone other expenses, such as the extra fees for
putting your children on a swimming team for training, etc. But having said that, we can’t deny that
most private schools do provide better facilities, as well as more qualified faculty members. Yeah,
well, most private schools have high criteria when it comes to hiring teachers.

I think both the international schools and other public schools have their own positive side. Public
schools might have seemed unqualified for some people, but they are helpful for families with a
lower income, because international schools are too expensive for them to afford. On the other
hand, for international schools, their educational concept is different. Their students don’t need to
study every detail by-heart and memorize it. They will be able to sit for exams very well even if
they only understand the idea of the studies. International schools put more efforts into training

This is a super tricky question. Well, on one hand, old friends are priceless(无价的), cuz you know
them well, and vice versa(反之亦然), which means there can be firm mutual trust, and you can
share almost everything with each other, including secrets. But on the other hand, people do
change over time, so inevitably(不可避免地) you would lose some old friends as you grow, and
make new ones in the meantime, especially if you move to a new place. And new friends will also
become old ones through time. Personally, I’d say I value(重视) old friends more, cuz the bond

3.Do fewer people choose to watch movies in the cinemas than people did in the past?
Quite to the contrary, I tend to believe that cinemas are prosperous(繁荣的) in China now. One
reason for that is our financial capability(经济能力) has been rising, well, at least on paper it is, and
the young generation has a different, more embracing(欣然接受的) attitude towards entertainment,
compared with our parents’ generation. Another possible reason, which is relatively more ironic (讽

such circumstance, cuz... Oh I don’t know, cuz people don’t have better things to do? Yea, and
they just want to have a rest or even escape, from their stressful daily routine.
Not really. I think it’s a completely different sort of feeling when you watch a film sitting in the
cinema, probably because of the huge screen, like the ones in IMAX cinemas, and that cannot
really be substituted(替换) by any device accessible from your living room. Also, going to the
cinema for a film is a common social activity that happens a lot between friends, or in a
relationship. Inviting others to your place to watch a film can sometimes be awkward or not really

Part 3 新题:童年玩具
1.Do you think parents should buy more toys for their kids or spend more time with them?
I would go for spending more time with kids. Parents should of course buy their kids toys, because
they can’t set their work aside and spend every minute with their kids. But toys are lifeless; they
can’t replace the parents. Spending more time as much as the parents can help them have more
interactions with the kids. The dynamic interaction is important. It is essential to find whether the
kids are doing well, acting normal and growing healthily. It is also a way to keep track of the kids’

The way I see it, plenty of advertisements tempt children into asking for things that they don’t even
need from their parents, like toys or tablets(平板电脑), etc. Well, it’s the same case when it comes
to(说到XX也是一样的) adults, but due to their young age, most kids don’t really understand the
difference between what they want and what they actually need. So their demands are largely
dependent on comparisons with their peers as well as the commercials(商业广告). As they can be
vicious cycle(恶性循环), which means they ask for even more unnecessary things.

4.Should advertising aimed at kids be prohibited?
Well, I do believe they absolutely need better censorship(审查), but not necessarily(不一定) to be
banned. Like I said, those advertisers are actually taking advantage of the lack of judgement of
those kids. They know very well that those kids cannot tell the difference between their material
desire(物欲) and their actual need, and they are simply using this to make profits. I’d say more
strict scrutiny(严格检查) should be applied to make sure they do not exaggerate their products, or
even make things up. If we don’t limit the consumerism(消费主义) created by those ads targeting at

Part 3 新题:室内游戏
1.What do you think people spending too much time playing computer games?
Every coin has two sides. Spending too much time playing computer games can hurt one’s eye-
sight. And sitting in front of the computer too long is sure to cause spine troubles. But despite all
the potential negative effects, computer games aren't all bad. First off, they're crazy fun. Don’t you
want to get relaxed after a whole day’s work? Second, they can improve everything from critical
thinking skills to hand-eye coordination in the right context. Playing is training. Frequently playing
computer games can even make your brain stronger at times. If you have your own game team,

There are many qualities that are important for leaders, but I think the foremost(首要的) one should
be determination. You see, as a team, it is extremely significant that all members share the same
goal. And if the leader has strong determination, it is more likely that(更有可能) he can bring the
whole team together towards their aim. Also, I think leaders have to be full of integrity(正直). Only
an honest person can be trusted and respected by his team members, and thus able to trigger
chemistry within the team. After all, we all want to work with, or for, people who are respectable.

4.Is teamwork important to individuals?
Sure. Unlike what it was in the past, individualism(个人主义) is no longer a very helpful thing when
pursuing success at present. Nowadays, as tasks become much more integrated(整合的) and
complex, people mostly have to cooperate with each other and take different roles in a team to
make sure everybody can use their expertise to the fullest, and reach the ultimate goal(终极目标).
Also, during teamwork, individuals can learn from their teammates, and enhance their own
capabilities. As a result, individuals not only achieve something they could not otherwise have
done, but they also become someone they could not otherwise have become. (not only but also结

Well, the way I see it, of course they can learn about astronomy if they like, but there’s nothing

universe(神秘的宇宙), whereas my cousin doesn’t really care about what happens in space at all.

some mathematical analysis, I guarantee you that I’ll be yawning(打呵欠) in like, five seconds. But
this can also be because people have different personal interests, for example, plenty of people
enjoy watching reality shows(真人秀) cuz they are quite fascinating, but I can actually easily fall
asleep watching them. This is simply because I couldn’t care less about those celebrities and what

impression of hygiene(卫生), but not pale white cuz it makes people feel cold and creates a sense
of distance. Sometimes people also paint their children’s room into light pink or sky blue or

Of course reading. From my perspective(依我看来) language learning is like making tea, and if you
don’t pour water in the teapot first, there’s nothing you can pour out of the teapot. Sufficient input
is always the necessary premise(前提) of output. By reading great works, on the superficial layer,
you can imitate and learn about the grammar and rhetoric and stuff like that; deep down, there’s
also philosophy of life and insight(洞见) into the society that you may learn from the author. After

An obvious drawback is that you’ll be living in the countryside, or worse even, in a rural area. Now,
that’s because most airports in China are located in such places, to avoid any possible
disturbance(打扰) to the urban area, where population density is the highest. And this leads to the
second reason, which is also apparent, that you’ll have to put up with inevitable loud noises if you
live around an airport. When taking off, plane engines can make noises up to one hundred and fifty

you live, like, 5 kilometres away, I guess the noise can still effectively wake you up at midnight.
To be honest, I have no experience whatsoever about working in an airport. But from what I see, I
guess that working there could be quite boring. You see, for instance, if you work in downtown,
you can take your lunchbreak(午休) and go to any nearby restaurant with your colleagues, and you
may even be able to grab a coffee(喝杯咖啡), or wander a bit in the garden or park before going
back to work. I imagine all those would be basically impossible for airport staff, especially if you

Well, I guess first you have to do some enquiring about the receivers’ preferences(偏好) or hobbies,
that is, if you don’t already know these things about them. Then choose something of a realistic
price. You see, it’s not really my style to link price with friendship, but to think in a practical (功利

graduation from college, then neither a ready-made card nor a diamond necklace would be

3.Do you think useful gifts are always more suitable than those useless ones?
Personally, yes. I do think I prefer practical (功能性的) gifts myself. But this doesn’t mean that so-
called ‘useless’ gifts are necessarily worse ones. This is because the definition of ‘usefulness’
itself varies significantly. For instance, I may think that flowers are actually not that useful, and
they perish(枯萎,腐烂) rather easily, whilst there are many people who think flowers can put them
in a good mood and can also be perfect decorations for their room. In that case, I’ll consider
sending flowers to those people, cuz those are apparently way more suitable than other

Absolutely not. My mum told me that when she was dating my dad, she knitted sweaters(织毛衣)

Yes, definitely. Apart from the pragmatic benefits that a foreign language can provide, like
communicative advantages or appreciating original literature and things like that, I think I’ve read
an article claiming bilingual people have multiple other advantages over monolingual people. These
include better memory, analytical skills, critical thinking and so on. And even if we put all these

As a matter of fact, I tend to believe that English has already been the mainstream language of our

modern scientific research is in English, and the most widely used language is also English. If you

I’d say writing, because when we speak, we need to have proper rhythm and flow, otherwise we’d
sound very hesitative and unconfident, whereas in writing, you can pause every now and then, and
think about your wording. No one is going to notice your pauses, as they will only be reading the
words. This is just like comparing calling and texting - the latter is definitely easier for me.

Only too many! I can easily name quite a few of them, those who we call ‘inventors’. For instance,
Thomas Edison, who invented the modern bulb, which made evenings and nights much more
magical. Or Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple, without whom we’d all still be using ugly keyboard

countries like mine, is that people are very busy, and to be honest, quite anxious. They work day

so long with their teachers in classes, they are significantly influenced by their behaviour and
I think the answer to this question is quite simple because if we really want to ENCOURAGE
children to learn, the best way would be to find their interests. Many people say ‘Interest is the
best teacher’, yet they never actually carry out the words. From what I see in China, most parents

make, or shall we say, push, their children into learning the piano, Sinology or robotics, and justify
these all in the name of a ‘better future’. You see, the way I see it, they should try their best to
find their kids’ natural interests and talents, then cultivate these with proper guidance.

Yes, I think so, and fortunately, we have more than enough historical buildings to visit. Learning
Chinese history can be a very long and exhausting task, even for Chinese people, just because it’s
amazingly long, but that doesn’t make it a boring task. Very often you really need to go on a field
trip and visit them yourself, so as to feel and experience the history in a vivid way.
Because historical buildings allow you to be in the history, and if permitted, maybe even touch the

history with your own hands. These are the things you can never experience by reading a book or

development of a thriving of modern society. That’s why I think they should be evaluated first,
because if they’re of no or very little importance, they shouldn’t be in our way of development.
4.Do most people agree with government funding to protect historical buildings?
I guess yes. I’m not terribly familiar with architecture, or administrative affairs, but commonly,
donations from individuals or organisations aren’t mainstream sources of funding in such projects.
Most people still agree, and they actually believe that the government should be responsible for
these, but I’m looking more at my country. I heard that in some extremely underdeveloped

Personally speaking, I think sleeping late in the evening has numerous harmful effects on people’s
life patterns, especially for teenagers. Firstly, sleeping late will cause a person to get up late the
following morning, which will deprive them of the whole morning so that they won’t have any time
for work or study. Also, sleeping late will harm a person’s physical and mental health in the long

old, always gets up extremely early in the morning, because she’s fond of doing exercises at that
time. However, for my grandfather, who’s also in his 70s, getting up at 9 o’clock is the norm, and

Well, actually I think this depends on different cultures or even different nations. As far as I’m
concerned, 32 or above might be a good time to have children, because usually a person around
that age is relatively stable at work. The steady income can guarantee their children’s education
and give the person balance to deal with both their work and family. What’s more, a stable job
means that parents can have more time to accompany children. Comparatively, those below 30
mainly focus on their work or promotion, and usually don’t have the time and energy to take care
of kids.

In my opinion, I deem that some people stay famous for a long time because they have brought

The Internet can be beneficial and damaging for schools at the same time. Technology enables
teachers to search for useful information that can make their classes much more informative and
educational. Thanks to the Internet, students now have access to online courses, which can save
them a lot of time and money. Nevertheless, with tons of addictive information, the Internet also
distracts a lot of students from learning, which negatively affects their performance at school.

we want.
Nowadays, what people usually do online in their free time includes searching for information,
watching videos and playing online games. The Internet offers tons of helpful information that

people at different stages can use to solve their problems. Unlike physical books, the Internet

activities online are relaxing and entertaining, so people enjoy them in their leisure time.

Part 3 交通工具故障
I believe that flexibility and time-saving are two of the major advantages of private transport. With
private cars, we can freely choose wherever we go and whenever we go. Unlike public transport,
we can go straight to the exact destinations by private cars without going around the city
unnecessarily and waiting for other passengers at every stop, so it saves us a lot of time. However,
pollution is the biggest disadvantage of private transport. Private cars emit more carbon dioxide
than public transport and therefore severely pollute the environment. This is an urgent urban

3.Are there fewer people using cars nowadays because of improved public transport?
资
Yes, I believe that optimized public transportation systems are the reason why fewer people drive
cars. As public transport has improved, people can get to where they want at a lower cost and a
faster speed. In addition, people’s awareness of environmental protection has been increasingly
rising, so choosing public transport seems to be their contribution to the environment for a lot of
people. All these benefits encourage more and more people to choose public transport over cars.
1. I think young people tend to travel more. Since people tour around places all day long, traveling

can be physically demanding. With significantly worse physical conditions compared with young
people, old people might find it hard to travel too frequently or too far away at their age. Another
reason is that young people are usually more curious about the world, so they’re more likely to
travel around so as to fulfill their curiosity. In comparison, old people might turn out to be less

Compared with indoor sports, outdoor sports take place in an open area, which means people have
relatively more space to do what they want. Plus, outdoor sports allow us to breathe in much more
fresh air, so they’re probably better for our state of health. However, the major disadvantage of
outdoor sports is that they’re subject to weather conditions. If it’s raining outside, it might be
inconvenient for us to continue doing outdoor sports, whereas indoor sports wouldn’t be affected

Swimming and rowing are two of the most popular water sports nowadays. A lot of cities have
been well-developed to the point where standard swimming pools are quite common, so swimming
has become a pretty accessible and low-cost water sport for many people. In addition, many
people see swimming as a necessary skill and a way to relax with friends in a scorching summer,

1.What is the difference between the games people play now and those people played in the past?
Firstly, the games people played in the past were offline and used real items like chess pieces and
poker cards, while most of the newly-released games nowadays are online with virtual images and
actual figures. For example, Nintendo have brought us the notion of playing games by waving a
controller, and VR technology has brought us an immersive gaming experience. Secondly, games in
the past normally allowed more people to join while modern games are more set up for single

Well for the young generation, I think drama series with the theme of romance and comedy top the
list, especially TV series featuring popular stars. Also, talent shows have enjoyed ever-increasing
audiences in recent years. These shows give opportunities to selected boys and girls by way of
nationwide pick-up, which heightens the audience’s engagement significantly. While for old
people, they concentrate more on talk shows in the field of finance and education, which are

For me, I would recommend learning time management, which is vital to helping overcome
procrastination and raise efficiency. To be more exact, it pushes you to find out the priority of your
daily work and life, therefore maximizing the use of your down time. What’s more, since it’s
important for everyone, a lot of apps have been developed to guide you to optimize your time.
To tell the truth, almost all professions require practical skills, but I will say that working as a

because one is selling themselves and their ideas to others everywhere in life.
From my perspective, interpersonal skills are a priority in modern society, and to be more specific,
the ability to understand other people, to know what motivates them, and to be able to work
cooperatively with them. It’s not difficult to see that interpersonal skills are described as a must-
have in almost every position. In other words, they’re not only the basis to making one integrate

Well, the rewards from a company symbolize the recognition and appreciation of the employee’s
contribution, which as a result indicates sincerity. Learning materials like Kindles and iPad Pros,
and health investment gifts as gym or yoga cards could be good options. But to tell the truth, if
there happens to be a year-end reward, a red pocket with cash in it would be the best choice.
Well, there are always two sides. Prizes motivate children to learn harder and get higher grades,

creative options. For example, “no homework for a day” could also be regarded as a gift, which

1.Do people living in southern China wear different clothes from those living in the north?
Certainly yes, especially in winter. People in the southern part of China wear different kinds of
clothes from people in the northern part, since southern China is warmer and more humid than the
north, particularly in winter. People in the north wear overcoats, down jackets and even gloves.
However, people in the south simply wear sweaters. It’s not necessary for them to wear gloves and

events and schedule can be affected by some unexpected factors such as the unusual weather
like, storming and typhoon. Another important factor is illness, it’s extremely difficult for people to
focus themselves when they feel sick and uncomfortable, so they must change plans for it. What’s
more, people may also change their plans due to different personal reasons.
4.How would you tell your friends when you must change your plan?
Well, if I have to change my original plan, then I would find some reasonable excuses to make it
212 上海茵朗信息科技有限公司版权所有,侵权违法必究
more acceptable to my friends. For example, one excuse I use often is getting sick, I mean, it’s
extremely difficult for people to focus themselves when they feel sick and uncomfortable, so they
must change plans for it while my friend won’t take it seriously. Another way to tell my friends
when I am gonna change my plan is to tell them that I am having something much urgent to do,
you know, everyone has their trouble they have to deal with.
Well, to be honest, I don’t make plans a lot, but I guess there are some plans that are quite
practical in life. Like a plan for your study or maybe a plan to stay healthy. You know, study is

or listening to such fairy tales. Besides, parents and teachers can also try to create an environment

this will make children defensive and lie. These are good measures parents and teachers can take
I think it’s absolutely important to teach children to be honest. The sooner they know the
importance of being honest, the better. Before the age of 10, most children already know the
220 上海茵朗信息科技有限公司版权所有,侵权违法必究
difference between storytelling, a lie and the truth. But this does not mean they have a fully
developed conscience yet. They should understand that they are expected to tell the truth, and
know that they’ll face consequences if they don’t. This is the meaning of teaching children to be
honest.
People lie because lies can help them achieve their goals faster. For example, some people make
money not by their efforts but by cheating others and stealing from others. In this way they can
make a fortune faster. Of course such behavior will finally be punished. Sometimes people also lie

History taught in primary school is mostly about some easy historical events. They are aimed at
increasing pupils’ basic knowledge about history. Usually the exams only require that pupils
remember the names of important figures. In contrary, the history taught in high school is much
more in-depth. High school history classes are designed to help students understand history and
be able to analyze it. The most important thing is to take lessons from the history.

I think it is more complicated to get information from the library than from a newspaper. When
searching information in a library, you are forced to first find books that you are looking for, write
down their locations, and then go searching for them through the aisles of the library. You must
then gather them all up and read through them, trying to find relevant information. However, the
newspaper is generally thinner than books, which means less reading times. Moreover, the
