Dialogue: Importance of reading newspaper

Sumon: Hi friend, how is it going?

Myself: I am great. What about you?

Sumon: Me too, great. Anyway, what’s that you are reading?

Myself: It’s a newspaper.

Sumon: What! You are reading a newspaper! Aren’t you wasting (নষ্ট করা) your time?

Myself: Of course, not. You know we can learn many things by reading newspapers.

Sumon: Oh, really? Would you please explain (ব্যাখ্যা করা) its importance, dear?

Myself: We can know the news of the whole world by reading newspaper. It gives us the news of almost (প্রায়) every sector of our daily life such as politics (রাজনীতি), sports, business, agriculture (কৃষি), entertainment etc. It makes people aware of what is happening around. The editorials also help create public opinion on contemporary issues. Thus, it is useful for people from all walks of life. 

Sumon: Does it help the students increase (বাড়ানো) their knowledge?

Myself: Actually, it is called the store-house of knowledge. Every well-known (বিখ্যাত) newspaper has a section for the students. It helps them a lot with many educational materials such as suggestions from reputed teachers, exercises on various topics, sample questions, general knowledge, quiz etc.

Sumon: Does it have any other importance?

Myself: It is a good medium for advertisement. So, we can learn about many products and services through the newspapers. So to say, it keeps us updated with the outside world. 

Sumon: Thank you for opening my eyes. I will also read newspapers daily from tomorrow.

Myself: You are most welcome.
