You know that I subscribe an English newspaper called 21st century every year. I like reading English newspaper, which gives my study a hand. A good idea comes to me that I would like to recommend you some good articles from English newspaper. Lets study English together.
Pack a book instead
Does Apple think the world is rotten to the core?
Do these techno nerds believe for a moment their electronic gizmos are going to supplant books?
Dream on geeks. Books have been around for hundreds of years and will out live computers.
Buying a book is a sensual experience. The smell of the new paper, the feel of the book jacket. The thrill of getting a bargain, such as buying three books for the price of two.
And after youve read your latest novel, or biography you have the pleasure of putting it on your bookshelf.
And generous readers, like myself, get pleasure from lending our books to friends so that they can enjoy what has entertained, thrilled, appalled or frightened us.
You cant do that with an iPad. Most iPad users wouldnt let their tablet out of their possession for more than a few minutes.
Can you imagine a future when every schoolboy or girl, and every university student owns an iPad or a digital reader or some sort? I dont think so.
Not everyone can afford 1000 to 6000 yuan for the Apple product.
Think of how many books you could buy with 4000 yuan. And once youve bought your tablet reader its going to cost you a further $14.99 for every digital textbook you need. Sounds like an expensive business to me.
OK, I hear you say, the price will come down. You can now buy a Kindle digital reader for as little as 100 bucks.
Fine for traveling, I suppose. But what if you are in a window seat in the aircraft. The sun is streaming in and you cant make out the print on your Kindel or spindle or thimble or thingamajig. I bet youd be wishing youd packed a book.
