31. In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the importance of the newspaper.

The newspaper, today, plays a vital role in human affairs. Its importance has not been

diminished by the appearance of the radio or the television. Men no longer have travel

to get information. The newspaper has become the main source of information about local

and foreign affairs. Though the radio and television convey important news and

messages quicker than the newspaper, they seldom give the details of an incident. The

newspaper, on the other hand, gives not only more details about a particular incident but

it also contains more new items. This is of great importance today when political changes

occur with a rapidity unknown before. Besides, the newspaper is easier to carry and it

could be read at any time during the day. Further, the permanence of the printed word

helps one to refresh one’s memory of certain facts and incidents reported in the past.
