| When I drive in my car, I like to turn on the radio. |
| By listening to the radio, I can enjoy music |
| and learn the latest news while I am travelling from one place to another. |

| Listening to the radio is a popular activity for many people, |
| and each city has many different radio stations. |
| There are many different kinds of radio stations. |
| Some radio stations provide news and information. |
| Other radio stations have a “talk” format, |
| where listeners can call the radio station’s experts, |
| to discuss political affairs or to ask for personal advice. |
| Although there are many radio stations that provide news and opinions, |
| most radio stations are mainly devoted to playing music of some kind. |
| For example, some radio stations play the songs that are currently most popular, |
| often called the “top 40” songs. |
| Other radio stations specialize in particular types of music. |
| There are some stations that play only classical music. |
| Other radio stations mainly play jazz music. |
| Some very popular radio stations play “hard rock” music. |
| Others specialize in country music. |
| Some people prefer radio stations that play rhythm-and-blues music. |
| Still other people enjoy radio stations that specialize in soft, “easy listening” music. |
| If you have a favorite kind of music, or even if you like to listen to all kinds of music, |
| you can probably find at least one radio station that you will like. |
| In addition to news and music, some radio stations provide other kinds of entertainment. |
| Sometimes, a story from a book will be told over the radio. |
| Occasionally, the words of a theatrical play may be heard on the radio. |
| Even in the age of television and computers, |
| the radio has remained an important source of entertainment and information. |
| People will surely listen to the radio for a long time to come. |
