Today we have mobile phones, computers,

193s and 19!s, families "athered to"ether

dramas, and many other forms of entertainment.

I still consider it a privile"e to have lived durin" this time, especially as a kid. The radio

developed our ima"ination and creativity' we #ust listened to words and sounds, to people

talkin", and we had to ima"ine their physical appearance and the scenes they were

describin". I remember sittin" on the floor listenin" to The (ldrich family, with the

familiar catchphrases )*enry+ *enry (ldrich+, followed by *enry-s answer, )omin",

THANK YU!HAVE A NICE DAY!

Sarah from New York

Aistenin" to the radio is a lot of fun for me. henever I can, I turn

on my radio to listen to music. I usually also listen to the news,

because I like to know what is "oin" on. ews on the radio is short

and ob#ective.

I cannot say I prefer radio to T$, because I like both and I think

both are important.

@ne of the advanta"es of the radio is that you can listen to it

anywhere' on the bus, when you walk to school, on the beach, etc. I

also en#oy listenin" to music because it rela0es me and makes me

feel "ood. I like listenin" to the >2s. They tell us interestin" thin"sabout bands and sin"ers, and sometimes they are funny.Cool Zone 8, Texto Editores
