Reading newspapers has become an important part of everyday life. Some people read newspapers as the
first thing to do in the morning, others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that
they can learn what is happening in the world.

front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines
