The media: print

1. Typical sections found in newspapers and magazines
_ One thing I always read in the papers is the obituaries (1); it's so interesting to read about the lives of well-known people. I also usually read the leader (2) (or editorial); it helps me form my opinion on things.
_ Although natiomal newspapers give you all the important news, I find that if you just want to sell your car or something, the classified ads (3) in a local paper is the best place. But at the weekend I just love the Sunday papers.
_ Most British Sunday papers have supplements (4) with articles on travel, food and fashion and so on, and that keeps me occupied for hours.
_ Last week there was a feature (5) on new technology in one of them; it was fascinating. My teenage daughter prefers magazines, especially the agony columns (6).
_ I just can't imagine writing to an agony aunt (7). It amazes me how people are prepared to discuss their most intimate problems publicly.
