Read the passage carefully and decide if each statement is True or False (1.0 pt) Do you learn by reading about things, or do you learn by doing things? For me, the best way of learning is by reading. I can learn more information in a shorter period of time by reading than I could by doing. If I have to participate in an activity in order to learn it, it takes a long time. Also, I think learning by reading is better than learning by doing. I love to read, and I get a lot of information from books all the time. For example, I recently read a book about America. I learned a lot of information about America from that book. If I had to actually travel to America to learn about it, It would take a lot of time. It would also cost a lot of money to travel to America. So, learning about a new place is more convenient and cheaper by reading about that place. According to the writer, learning by reading and by doing are the best ways. ________ The writer thinks that learning by doing takes a long time. ________ The writer cost a lot of money to travel to America. ________ In the writer’s opinion, learning about a new place is easy and inexpensive. ________ IX.
