No one really likes going to the doctor, even though it is the sensible thing to do when feeling ill.
Most people tend to postpone making an appointment in the hope that things will get better in a day or
two. Yet a common cold or mild case of the flu can sometimes be discussed with a doctor over the
telephone. Bed rest and a lot of liquids may be the best treatment. However, the sooner a person reports
any abnormal conditions to a doctor, the sooner he or she can intervene and treat the problem. Any illness
that lasts longer than a day or includes a fever should be looked at. Early treatment may impede the
progress of an illness and curtail its spread to other family members. It is always best to contact a doctor.
Doctors should decide whether their patients need appointments.

Does Reading Really Matter?
[1] Some people say that reading is not now as important as it was. These days we have photographs,
films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can glance at a photograph?
Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us
hourly on radio and TV?
[2] Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very accurate idea of places
and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopaedia, for example, is always better for good
illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant
may give us a very good impression of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about where
elephants are found, what types there are, what their exact size and weight are, how they are useful to man
and so on.
[3] In the same way, a good feature film has action, movement, colour and maybe music. These are things
we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an
excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently.
[4] Television news broadcasts can certainly be interesting. But we need newspapers as well. Some
important events happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just
report the news. It explains what has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on many subjects.
Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in our own
community and in other parts of the world.
[5] Reading is thus essential for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life
as human beings. Moreover, reading is a skill, and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the
better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to
get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
