Reading a novel
A. Printed book- I prefer printed books because I am into reading physical books than an e-
book. For me, physical books are a way of discovering something new at the library or
bookstore, and the excitement of taking it home can satisfy my boring time. It is way effective to
read and enjoy a novel or stories when I touch and see it physically than electronically. Physical
books have that indescribable sense of quality and purpose that e-books cannot replicate.
Without Physical books I cannot imagine my entire life will be complete.
3. Listening to music
B. Online- I prefer listening to music online because, in this modern period, most people
like me are now into listening to music on smartphones or computers online than listening to
music on the radio. It is easier and accessible to listen to music online with the use of my
cellphone. Unlike radio, it is super complicated to have a perfect signal and hear modern songs.
That's why I love playing music online than radio.
4. Reading a magazine
A. Printed magazine- I prefer a printed magazine because I am a fan of physical books
than an e-reader. I love the vibes of sitting down and reading a physical magazine as a form of
relaxation. It gives me a break from the problems and stress. Most importantly, it helps me to
visualize and understand the information written in printed magazines. Unlike an e-reader, it
doesn't help me to enjoy or feel what I am reading.
5. Following the news
B. Online- I prefer following the news online because I can easily access it anytime and
anywhere than following the news on television. For me, it is a smart way to keep updated on
what is happening in my surroundings. It is an effective way of getting news because it is 24/7
news, and I can go back whenever I want to. It also gives me more choices of what I want to
hear, watch, read news or articles according to my preferences. Unlike in television, I can only
access limited time and no choices of what form of news I preferred to get myself informed.
