I probably would have forgotten all about it if it were not for the news we got the next morning.“Our neighbor just sent a message,” Paul said. “A girl drove her car right into the mailboxes, completely breaking them down

5、.”“Is she okay?” I asked.“She wasnt hurt, but really upset. Shihiem saw it happen. He said shes just a teenager.

10、apers, magazines and even textbooks are becoming or expected to be digital soon. However, despite the sharp increase of such technology in daily life, print media is far from becoming unnecessary. I dont think that reading in print is a dying mode.Firstly, print offers a super reading experience. Th

11、e feeling of holding a book in our hands, feeling its weight and turning over its pages, helps us to be immersed in and engaged fully with the material.

24、 tend to be happier and healthier.
