I prefer listening to stories as it is very convenient and i can do other activities while listening to them like exercising,eating or doing my work.I can also listen to it when I am travelling and I will not strain my eyes.I can also listen to the stories in the dark and i will not need to waste electricity on light .I can also adjust the narrator's reading pace if i think that it is too fast or too slow.

i prefer to read than listen.i have listened to audio books before and i did not like it. i would get bored of it in a matter of seconds which fueled my boredom as i like to read books when  i am bored but in this case it would not help at all.when reading books , i also get to choose my own pace. as a fast reader, i feel that audio books have too slow a pace for me.when i read, i like to read fast as i can get through the boring parts fast.i can also check the dictionary when i encounter words i do not know. it is also convenient as you can refer back to the specific page much faster than rewinding an audio book online. to sum it up,i would rather read a book then listen to and audio book.

I prefer reading to listening stories as when i read stories, I can go at my own pace and do not have to follow the reader's pace.if the reader is reads in a constant monotone i would be sooooooooooooooooooooo bored that i might only listen to him/her for like 8 seconds and then my mind will probably drift off to like what i want to eat for lunch or where i am going tomorrow .Sometimes, the reader might have certain accents, making me unable to understand what he/she is saying. Reading a book is way more convenient than listening  to someone read as if you want to refer back to what the pages in front have, you can easily flip  back to the particular page but if u are listening to someone read (which are usually pre-recorded)you need to go back ten seconds or so to find it but ding this is not as convenient as it sounds as ten seconds is an exact timeframe and you might not be so lucky that the part you are looking for is exactly at the end of the ten seconds or so and you need to wait to find where that part is which will take you a minute or two. Now, someone will obviously tell me that you can drag the time-bar at the bottom of the video/recording to your desired time. This is my response :YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE TIME THAT YOU WANT TO REFER TO. So obviously, as you can see,  reading a book is like ten times more convenient and comprehensible than listening to some recording of a story on the internet.

Wait! i'm not done yet.[dramatic music plays in background]

Many people seem to forget the feeling of flipping the pages of a book and how it can seemingly just build an imaginary fortress around you and immerse you into the world that the book is showing.By feeling the words on the paper you can try to feel what the author is trying to express whether if it is rage, happiness,  sadness or dread.You can easily be absorbed into a book as much as you can get addicted to your favourite computer game if not, even more.

Wait, there's even more!

i cannot express how much i hate to listen to recorded stories because:
1.OMG the damned audible stories dont even know what Diary of a wimpy kid is.
2.The narrator voice is muffled by the recorder
3.Last but not the least why does narrator even talk!? he reads in such a monotone than he bores me to my grave.

ok i'm done

As you can see from my points above ,reading a story is no doubt better than listening to some pre-recorded one.

I prefer listening to the story than as to reading the book itself.First of all,there will be no need to strain my eyes while reading the book as I don't need to waste my energy on reading,also,it will be easier as I just have to listen, and I can focus more on the story.Even when you are listening to the story and the reader or the electronic device is reading or going too fast,you can ask the reader to go slower or edit the play back speed to go at your own pace.Second of all,I can listen to how they say their story as I can focus more and learn more stuff  in my head as I only need my ears to listen to the story,but if you read the story ,you will have  use your mind to not only read the book but also use your head to learn the teachings in the book,so while listening I can focus on one thing while reading,I will have to multitask on other stuff.Thirdly,I can improve on my pronunciation,for example,when I am used to saying a word wrong,I can hear what the reader has to say and I can focus and practice the correct saying of the word,so I can do better in oral reading aloud next time.Lastly,I can foresee how the characters in the story will act and will make the story even more interesting and can also understand the story better.Overall,I prefer listening to the stories than reading them and these are my reasons for my answer.Thank you!

I prefer to read than to listen as I can read at my own pace and I am able to focus more when I read.When reading I will be able to learn new words and it is easier to learn.sometimes the  narrator may mispronounce the words and make me get confuse but when I read,and don't know the word,I can always use the dictionary and check the words.I do not want others to spent time reading for me so I think I prefer reading than to listen

I prefer reading to listening stories as when i read stories, I can go at my own pace and do not have to follow the reader's pace.When the reader reads too slow, I get impatient and stop listening.When the reader reads too fast, I cannot  make out what he/she is saying.Sometimes, the reader might have certain accents, making me unable to understand what he/she is saying.If I want to go back to a certain part of the story, I can just flip the pages to go back to the front but when I am listening to a person read, I have to get him to repeat himself.When I read myself, I can learn new words and phrases but when I listen to other people,

I prefer reading to listening stories as it is easy to access as there are many libraries or I could get an app to read books online. Another reason I prefer reading books is because I can read it at my own pace whether fast or slow. I can stop whenever I want to and continue without having to look for it. Reading books is also softer and helps me hone my reading skills. Like this I will make fewer mistakes when reading.

i would prefer to read stories as when i read stories i can read at my pace as normally i read faster than most people.when you read yourself it is better tan listening as when you read you can identify new word you have not met before but when you listen to a story if there is a word that you do not know the meaning the you will not be able to learn that word as you can not see what the word is or how to spell it.also if someone else reads the book to you then you wont know how long more until the book finishes as you can not see the number of pages left.i remember there was a time Mrs Ng assigned us to listen to audible stories when i first started listening i felt uncomfortable as i was used to reading books on my own but after a while i got used to it but i would still rather read than listen because there was once a time i was very bad at English but then i started to read books a lot and then my reading became better so i think reading by yourself is better to than having others read for you. All in all i would much prefer to read books by myself instead of having others read the for me.

I would prefer listening stories. It is more easier to listen to a story, as you only have to use your ears to listen. As the reader, if your listener or you took a book full of words, then it may be hard to track where you were at and may even become lost at one point of the story. It is easier to imagine a story by listening than reading. When reading, your brain is more focused on the words you are trying to say to your listener than actually imagining the story itself. But as the listener, you are immersed into what the reader is reading and can imagine the story the reader is saying. In conclusion, I do prefer listening to stories.

I prefer reading stories. I can do it at my own pace instead of listening to a narrator which may be too fast or slow. I feel like I take in more information visually, so I prefer to read. Also, if there is a word that I may not understand, I can always highlight it and search the dictionary later. The accent of the narrator might be too thick for my to understand, so I prefer listening to that little voice in my head while I'm reading. In conclusion, I prefer reading stories.

I prefer listening to stories as it allows me to relax.i do not need to use my energy.I like people to help me read as i am lazy and would also want to learn from thie good language so that i can emulate it and improve for my oral examination.I would like to listen to someone who has exprsions and is able to make the story come to live rather than reading to yourself playing a silent movie in your mind.

I prefer reading stories as I can read on my own pace and do not have to follow the pace of the audio book .also I think audio books are boring as I just have to listen and not actually read it.also I may take time to understand some words and I can do so if I read my book .all in all I prefer reading to listening to a story.

Plus the audio books may talk too quickly.

I prefer reading stories. I can keep at my own pace When listening to stories , the narrator may either be too fast or too slow. Also the technology will distract me while I read and I may lose focus. When reading you can imagine the stories better.Although I always stumbling upon words, I can go back and read. Books with many words frighten me as I am not an avid reader but I will try my best when it comes to reading

I would rather read a book than listen to audio books because I can read it at my own pace. Although I know that I could just hop over to the e-library and still read at my own pace, but since I  have an IM(Instant Messaging) system on my phone, I tend to get distracted and forget about the ebook/audio book. Also, reading on a physical book might help by building focus and patience. Therefore, my preference is on reading a book.

I would prefer listening to stories. Listening means that I don't have to worry about stumbling on words as I am not very good at reading scripts and books aloud. Imagine what could happen if I stumble on my words while reading to a big crowd. Listening to other people read also allows me to picture what is going on in the book better as I do not have to multi-task. Reading is also terrible when I have a sore throat, which happens very often. For online audio books, if I missed some part of the story, I can always rewind the recording. The person reading is also very clear, so it is very easy to understand. Therefore I prefer listening to stories rather than straining my throat to read the stories aloud.

I would prefer listening to stories. I don't need to strain my eyes to read the words so I can imagine what is happening in the story better, I can relax and I do not need to waste my energy. I can also listen to how the reader reads the story so that I can improve my pronunciation and get better results for oral. I think listening to stories is more interesting as I can hear the reader's tone to improve my oral skills. I like this series called "Maze Runner". It gives a lot of information to take in but I don't understand it sometimes so I think that if I listen to the story instead of reading it, I will be able to understand the story better.

I would rather read stories.when I read a story on my own, I can read in my own pace and enjoy it without having to rush through it. While if you listen to stories, the narrator could have rather read too fast or too slow, affecting my enjoyment of the book. Books are also convenient for me as I can carry it wherever I go and read the book whenever I want. i think flipping the rough pages of the book is very satisfying.I like to hear the sound of two pages rubbing against each other. Reading stories also allows me to digest the information in the book better and better visualize the scenes in my head.When I need to refer back to some pages before, I can also 🤬 the pages back and find it easily whereas if I listen to a ebook, it would be hard and tedious to go back to where I want to go. i will have to look at every second and waste alot more time.Lastly, reading books lets us get better vocabulary and be fluent in some of the grammatical structures. It also can help us learn new words and phrases. Therefore, I would prefer to read a book.

I would prefer reading stories than listening to stories, because listening stories is only looking and listening but the bad thing is, what if the person listen, but forget it later? What if  the person did not listen propelly? Listening to stories have some bad benefits. When you listen, it is only listening and sometimes you may not be able to remember. Wherelse when you read, you can remember as you can go back and read again. It will be so much convenient as to find the pages you want to read again. When you listen, you need to interpret  and it may be hard to concentrate. For reading, you can understand at your own pace and it will be helpful in understanding and to retain information. the audio in the book may be read faster than you reading a book, so it may be hard to understand. If you are slow at reading a book, it will be quite hard for you to learn and absorb the information when listening to stories. In conclusion, I would still prefer reading stories.

I would rather read a story on my own.When I read a story, i will enjoy it better as i am able to slow down to read the interesting part whenever I want to.It is because when someone reads a story to me , the reader will read at his or her own pace.
When i read the story by myself , i will get to picture the story line better in my mind.This will make the story more interesting to me.
Another reason is because , i think flipping the rough pages of the book is very satisfying.I like to hear the sound of two pages rubbing against each other. I will also get to immerse myself in the story , feeling the excitement or anxiety of the characters.
listening to E books is quite troublesome as it is quite hard to find an exact page.
this is why i would rather read than listen to a story.

I would rather read myself.I can read and process things at my own pace.So that i can understand the story better and also enjoy it better.I might even learn to enjoy books a lot in the future as i might like the story.It can also improve my grammar and spelling.When i come across a word i do not know,I could search on line for it and learn a new word.I could also pick up good phrases and use it in my future compositions.My imagination might also improve and i can sleep well during the night.

I would prefer reading story books as I can fell asleep easily and not sleep late. But for listening to them , I would still be awake even if I try to fall asleep . so , I believe that reading stories will be better than listening to them .

I prefer listening to stories. I think listening to stories is less tiring as you do not need to 🤬 pages or move your eyes. Listening to stories also makes it easier to multitask rather than reading as you do not have to hold the book or 🤬 the pages while multitasking. I have also heard that listening to stories helps to improve listening and comprehension skills. All in all, I prefer listening to stories rather to reading.
