I can’t say what I read is enjoyment, because I don’t read the newspaper everyday, only when I want to or when I have time, but I enjoy read the news online. When I read the newspaper, first I read the headline of the front of the page and entertainments.

While ago I lived in Rocklin and was getting newspapers for free every month. There were Sacramento Bee and other local newspapers. At first I was just taking the advertisements with coupons, when I start to explore English articles. The articles with the pictures seem to me more interesting. I do not enjoy reading a newspaper; it not gives me full information about very important news. I rather watch news on TV or use the Internet to keep up with current events. I usually get information about current family or fun events in my area from the newspaper. When I was looking for rent I read classifieds. When fire destroyed part of Roseville Galleria Mall, I found all information about this terrible event in the Internet. Hours after fire police officers arrested a suspect who allegedly set a fire and barricaded himself inside the Roseville Galleria Mall. The incident began just after 10 a.m. when the suspect entered the GameStop store, which is located on the second floor between Macy's and JCPenney. Employees at the store say the suspect, who a friend and co-worker has identified as Alexander Corney Piggee, 23 set a fire inside the store. Witnesses saw smoke billowing out the front doors of GameStop. The Piggee's mother said she told him to move out of the family house several months ago because he was old enough to live on his own. Since then, he had been rotating among family members, said the woman, Mary Carter. All information I was interested in, I easily found in the Internet. However, I think that reading a newspaper is a good way to improve my English.

I enjoy reading a newspaper. The section that I prefer is the comics and the games. It is not a very serious section but it makes me relax. The news is often negative, so I try to find positive news. In a newspaper, you have different sections such as sport, economy, weather, national news, international news, politics, events …

I enjoy reading the newspaper very much in my native language. I understand every word, so I can read it very fast. But it is inconvenient for me to buy one because they don’t sell them in Rocklin, if I want one I have to go to Sacramento to get one. And since I have been busy with school and work, I haven’t read any Chinese newspapers for a long time. Usually I like to read the headlines and tabloids. I could find out the world’s news from the headline and could have fun reading the entertainment section. There are many different sections in a newspaper, for example, the headline, advertisement, recruitment, business and entertainment, etc.

Yes, I love to read newspapers. But especially, I love to read weeklies in my native language. I am interested in the news in this country, where I now live. I am interested in the news, also, in other countries of world. To me it is always interesting to know what occurs in other countries. I examine all sections of newspapers and I read interesting articles. To me it is always interesting to read the historic of famous people. I like to read about writers, politicians, poets, and artists, about their lives and about their creations. I love to read articles about health, and on the medical themes. I read articles about the products and I am interested in new recipes of preparation of food. Besides newspapers, I read the news on the Internet. Each day, I look at what occurs on our planet, the Earth. Especially, it is interesting to know what occurs in my native land. Recently there were in the parliament selections. In Ukraine and each day I followed the events in the Ukraine. Newspapers in English I read very little, because very it is difficult for me to read. I have insufficient vocabulary of words in order to read. I like read "The Parrot", newspaper America River College. It's easy for me.

Yes , I am crazy about reading a newspaper . When I lived in my country Vietnam , I ordered two kinds of newspaper every day and one special newspaper every week . The first thing I do in the morning when I wake up ,I open the door and pick up the newspapers by the delivery newspaper ,he dropped in the early morning . I read very fast in the main column of the newspaper , I want to know what's going on in my country and any where in the world . I like to read about business , local economy and world economy , new technologies , entertainment , sports , health , science .But I never read about politics . When I came to the U.S . I rarely read a newspaper because when I read it , It has some words I don't understand then I need to use the dictionary and spend too much time for reading a newspaper. I know when I use dictionary to translate some words , I learn more words . In my opinion the good way to improve my English is watching the TV because when you watch the TV you need turn on subtitle ,you can hear what do they say , also you can read the sentences they say indicate on the screen of the TV , some words if you don't know meaning you can guess through the act they do . Now all the people also me like to read news on internet ,the information in the internet is unlimited , they up date right away .That convenient for all people want to find some things ,where you are and what do you want .

I like to read them all my life.Now, I read news , different articles and stories on the internet,but I enjoy more reading newspapers than on the internet.I do not like to use computer a lot.When I use a computer ,I become tired very soon.When I read newspapers and magazines ,I feel well.I like to read many articles,and in my opinion reading English newspapers improve our English a lot.Especially I like to read one kind of newspapers.It is "News for you".These newspapers are very good for people who's English is second language.The newspaper is written in simple words,it easy understand,and there is vocabulary on fourth page.Many words have definition .These newspapers really improve English for people who read them."News for you" is a weekly publication from New Readers Press.

I absolutely love to read ,but I don't have much time for it .Reading newspapers it opens up the world to you.Reading is good for the brain because is a complex activity.It involves seeing(you look at the words),it involves recognition (you recognize the words).It involves understanding(you have to understand what are you reading),it involves memory (you memorize what you read and store it in your brain so that further on you recognize the word you've read),it involves hearing and speaking (because when you read you always associate what you read to a voice),it involves emotion (you feel something when you read)and so on,it is complex and the more you read ,the more your brain will develop.I think it is a good activity for brain stimulation.Also it is one of the best ways to improve your English and spelling.

I read news paper but not regularly. I read on weekend some time in week day when I have time I read newspaper in Punjabi and in English. Reading a newspaper is enjoyable. In newspaper there are lot of stories, news, advertisement, and a lot of information. They also have columns for the health, and politics. First, I read the headlines in all newspapers and then I choose the one that sounds the most interesting and read that one. I think English newspaper is a good way to improve your English because they have lot of news to read and a lot of new vocabulary words. I mostly read advertisement section and I bought a car from an ad. You get a lot of information from newspaper like politics, health, weather and sports. I think it’s very important to know what’s going on in the world. Recently I read in Punjabi newspaper that Obama went to India and I think it’s very important because then we know whether our president goes to other countries and makes alliances. In the newspaper it said that India and U.S.A. will work together to produce more solar energy, and go green.

One’s in a while I read newspaper when I go out to eat with my boyfriend. He likes to read the headlines and I like the section with the movies and horoscopes. I’m not really interested in current events and get my information from the T.V. I use the internet to get information about the Philippines.

I do not read newspapers. I never read the newspapers because I don’t find the stories and articles interesting. I read the newspaper only on special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas times because they have great sale advertisements. I think reading the newspaper is a great way to improve your English. I should try to more read the newspaper more often to improve my reading, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Most newspapers have a certain view or agenda and they print what they want you to believe or want you to know. It is difficult to find out what the truth really is. The news on TV is the same. Most newspaper reading is drama. I don’t read a lot about the news because most news is reported negatively. It is hard to find someone or some news channel or paper reporting positive news.

Yes, I do like reading the newspaper. The parts of the newspaper that I like to read are the sports sections, the advertisement, and also the world news. I think that reading the newspaper is a great way to improve my English learning skills. When I read the newspaper I use my Russian/English dictionary to translate the words I do not understand. I can get lots of information from the paper, for example, new athletes and champions in sports in the world. But I mostly read the newspaper in the Russian language, beacause it is my native language. It is easier for me to understand. I like to keep up with current events because I like to hear new news. The most recent news I read that interested me was about the Ukrainian President and how he came to America to visit President, Barack Obama, to talk about economic problems in Ukraine. It is very important to know what is going on in the world because, the news papers have important information about things that are going on that we need to know about in the world. The newspaper is a good source of information for people.

I don’t like to read, but I do read newspapers especially in my language, but I barely read newspaper in English. I know reading newspaper in English is really good and from that people can learn English, but I am bored reading in English because, I don’t get half of the information that’s on there. But to understand everything I have to translate, which takes a lot of time and that is why I am reading only Russian newspapers. Every week I get newspapers and read them, and the best section that I like is where it tells what is going on in the world. It is interesting for me and I think everyone must know what happens in the world around them. Even though when people don’t know a lot they don’t worry as much, but still people must know what’s going on in the world. It is not interesting to read that information in the internet. I like all the sections of the newspaper, because I read most of them. I also read the advertisements, there are many good things that can be useful, personally I bought furniture from some people who had an advertisement in the newspaper. The house that we rent is from the newspaper. Now I am looking for a job and I am searching in the advertisement section. But other books I don’t read, because they aren’t true and I don’t like to read something that is not true.

I never have been read new papers in English.I don't like read it in English because I don't understand all of things.In my country Ukraine I sometimes read the new papers.I liked to read only one kind of new papers.It called express.I read just some parts.I liked to read news about all over the world because I didn't have a computer.I think reading the new papers is not popular now.Today almost all people use the internet.It is more popular now.In the internet we can find a lot of interesting things.Of course,we can find news about every country and about everyone famous.So,I rarely read news on internet.I like read news about children.But,sometimes I read sad news and after that I worried.I feel very bad because I have children and I imagine that my children have a trouble with some thing.I think it is good idea to improve English but only for people who enjoy reading.Also, it is good idea to know about all over the world.We can find in new papers different titles.We can read there about political way,love,crime,ets.However,know about political way is important but about crime isn't important.If it is good thing it's OK.

I will not say that I enjoy reading a newspaper.It's a mixed feeling.Sometimes when I do read,it makes me eager to finish it right away so I know the whole story that I'm reading.But anayway,I read American newspapers only once in a while.Actually,I like reading the Philippine newspapers that are published here in the U.S.A.,so I will be up to date about my country and the Pilipino community here.

I like to read newspapers, but it is hard to read in English. I get tired very quickly. I love to read, but I prefer to read the news from the Internet. Mostly current events is interesting for me. I am interested in news of politics, economics, and ecology. I am also interested in scientific discoveries, for example I know about the trials of the new largest collider in Europe. Also, I watch the news from the field of nanotechnologies. I am also interested in research in the field of medicine. I believe that every person should know what's going on in the world. For example everyone knows about global warming. The climate has changed. Everyone is interesting to know what will happen next. Can mankind cope with many problems? Experience and news shows that it is better do not have hope. For example the current economic crisis is not quickly resolved. All economists do not glad predictions. To keep abreast of developments need to read the newspapers and surfing the Internet.

I don`t like read a newspapers because I think it is past century it is old occupation now. And also I don’t like read it because I don’t like the typographical pain on my fingers after reading a newspaper. So I never read a newspaper in English and newspaper in Russian language here at U.S. is horrible. First of all, it people who published Russian newspaper doesn’t have any education and conception, it tasteless and full of commercial. Second, article’s writers, from Russian Community at Sacramento, is very talentless and uneducated too. In Russian newspaper write all people who want, but I don’t think it a good idea for readers and especially for me. People think they can write, but it not a true. For example article for us write a hairdresser who I know and it is so funny read it. I’m sure people should mind his own business and that business that they do best.

At my house, they don't send the newspaper at home so i can't read it. My only resource of getting news is either online or on the tv. Usually i don't watch the news on tv becuase my english is not that great. I wish i could spend more time listening to it becuase i know it can improve my english a lot. Most of the time, i read the news in vietnamese online. I like to know what is going on in my country of vietnam and in america. Sometimes if i don't understand anything i usually ask people around me so i know. I think it is important to know what is going on in the country so we can be cautious around us. We will know who is around is and if bad things are happening we can always prevent it. We can't prevent anything if we don't know what is happening in our country.

Reading is my favorite hobby. Whenever I’m free, I enjoy reading on newspaper, internet. I think reading a newspaper is also a good way to improve my English. That’s why I like to read news on internet, especially on VOA special English. I click into which word I don’t understand and it explains very easy to understand. On internet I read all kind of news like: economic, development, health, education, political. I know what’s going on the United States and the world. For example, then election in the U.S. if the republic party wins in this election, they will deny plan health insurance of president barrack Obama. On the world have many disasters, especially Asia: Indonesia, Vietnam… those countries just got Tsunami disaster. This disaster made many damage for human and property.

I don’t read the newspaper not more. When I used to work in a senior living in Grass Valley I would always read the newspaper on my break. I really enjoy it because I got to know everything that was going on in my community. My favorite section is the front page because is the most recent and more important note. Also another section that I liked was the horoscopes. I love reading my sign so i would always read that section. Also the weather, I like to know how the days are going to be and be ready for anything change. You can find a lot of information new forms other places in the world, your community, sports and even little cartoons that you can read or passels to figure out. Also there is good information of the police reports in your community or sales in stores. I think it helps you to improve your English because it helps us to understand more the situations of a problem and also our reading skills. One of the saddest news that I read not too long ago was about one of my ex co-workers who had an accident and died in it. It was a terrible new to the community of Grass Valley.

I like to read newspaper but I don't have much time to do that. Sometimes I buy and read the Sacramento bee.It is a daily newspaper with local, state,national,and world news.There are many different sections in this newspaper. They are Business, Entertainment, Classifieds, Deals,Living Here,News, and many others.First of all, I like to read different articles in section news. I want to know what is going on in our city and in the world. There is a lot of information in Sacramento bee and I really enjoy to read it.Reading newspaper helped me to improve my English. At first, I didn't understand all words and read articles very slowly.Gradually I became fester reader. I read adds in section Classifieds when I was looking for rent but it didn't help me. After that, I needed to look for it on internet.Now all people usually read news on internet. On internet people can find more information about something but a newspaper looks like our old friend and we can't forget it. When I was in my native country, I've read a lot of newspapers in my language. They were sold for cheap price and I bought them every day. It was easier for me to read in my language because I could read fest and understand what I read.

I don’t really enjoy reading a newspaper, actually I don’t read them at all. When I was a child my father all the time read a newspaper . And I still thing that only adults man read a newspaper. I know that I already an adult, but anyways I don’t like to read a newspaper . I like read only magazines with some information or stories about famous people. It doesn’t mean that I don’t now anything what is going on in the world. I prefer to watch a news or to read some information online. I just don’t like to read a newspaper. Maybe it is because I never read them, maybe if I try to read I will like it. I should try. Any reading are very good to improve your English, so newspaper can help you to improve your English. You can find any kind of information. You can know what is going on in the whole world, you can know a weather. You can even buy or find a new house or apartments. I thing it is very important to know what is going on in the world. Because, for example you are going to another country for vacation, but the flights are cancel because of weather or even there are some war and you don’t know anything, because you don’t read a newspaper. If you want to be educate and interesting person you should know news. It is going to help you to have a good conversation with another people.
