World focus magazine published this article page no 15 The best thing about audio books is that its much less effort to listen than it is to read. You can do other things while you have the audio book on, much like listening to music, such as driving or household chores. Audio books on long car journeys can be relaxing both for you and for children as well, as there are few things children love as much as hearing stories.However, one word of warning. You should avoid any audio books you might find on the web that have been automatically produced by computer. The standard of computerised reading is not yet up to scratch for most purposes, and thats certainly the case for audio books – its like hearing a robot trying to tell a story. The tone of voice is all wrong, the stresses go in the wrong place, and theres no sense of drama. Its difficult to even listen to for a long time, never mind enjoy. Until technology leaps forward (itll probably take a few decades), stick to human-read audio books world focus magazine subscription.
