These words can either be positive or negative. USE THESAURUS TO FIND AN
APPROPRIATE WORD. For example:

 Use the present tense such as: she eats, I eat, etc.
 Use mental verbs such as: i believe, i prefer, i agree, i doubt, i disagree.

technology, sports, arts, and culture.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and knowledge about something happening in any part of the
world which we can see directly.

we are really sitting in the jungles.
