A dialogue between two friends about reading newspaper.
Sujon : Hello Sharmin! How are you?
Sharmin : Thank you. I am fine. How are you?
Sujon : I am also fine. Thank you. Where are you going?
Sharmin : I am going to buy a newspaper.
Sujon : Do you read the newspaper regularly?
Sharmin : Of course. Don’t you?
Sujon : Certainly. You know a newspaper is called the storehouse of knowledge.
Sharmin : You are right. Without reading newspapers we can’t know about the world.
Sujon : They who don’t read newspapers remain frogs of the well. Because they don’t know the current affairs of the country and world.
Sharmin : At the same time newspapers contain articles related to our study. They are very helpful.
Sujon : Which section of newspaper do you like most?
Sharmin : Certainly the study page. And you?
Sujon : I like the general knowledge section and literary articles. Sometimes I send my writings to the newspaper.
Sharmin : That’s very good. Newspapers hold people’s view, too. I have to go now.
Sujon : Ok. See you later. Bye.
Sharmin : Bye.
