Dear Nayon,

How are things in Khulna? Here in Feni, the monsoon rains have finally arrived! It brings some relief from the heat, but it can also make it a bit gloomy to stay cooped up inside. That's when I really appreciate having a good newspaper to keep me informed and entertained.

Speaking of newspapers, I know you're not a big reader of them. But I wanted to write to you about all the benefits I've found from making it a daily habit. It's not just about the news anymore, although that's important too. Here are a few things I've noticed:

• Staying Informed: The world is a busy place, and newspapers help me stay updated on current events, both local and international. It gives me a broader perspective on what's happening and helps me understand the world around me better.

• Improving Vocabulary: Newspapers are full of rich vocabulary and interesting writing styles. Reading them regularly exposes me to new words and helps me improve my own communication skills.

• Staying Sharp: Reading itself is a great mental exercise, and newspapers offer a variety of content that keeps my mind active. From analyzing news articles to solving puzzles, it's a workout for the brain.

• Learning New Things: Newspapers cover a wide range of topics, from science and technology to history and culture. Every day, I learn something new and interesting that I might not have otherwise encountered.

I know you might be busy, but even starting with just 15-20 minutes a day can make a difference. Maybe you could focus on sections that interest you most, like sports or technology. There are even digital versions of some newspapers available now, which might be more convenient for you.

Give it a try, Nayon! You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it and how much you learn.

Write back and let me know what you think.

Best,

Shimul
