In the modern world, there’s a wealth of leisure activities to choose from. Entertainment industries compete for your leisure time. You can watch TV , listen to music , go to an art gallery or, of course , read a book. Sometimes , it seems that reading is neglected because even if you are a fast reader, it can take a considerable amount of time to finish a novel, for example .
But in the modern world , time is something that can be in short supply .
Book publishers haven’t been slow to realize this and are now selling a product which needn’t take up as much of your time but still tells you an excellent story. The new product is the audio book- cassette recording of shortened novels, often read by well- known personalities or the authors themselves. Audio books are relatively new but people are becoming more aware of them and sales are increasing all the time .
One of the attractions of audio books is that they are like listening to the radio , only better. You can listen to what you want when you want and you won’t ever miss anything. Much of their appeal lies in their flexibility . They allow you to do other things while you’re listening, such as driving or doing the housework.

A.a new product for pleasure –audio books .
B.the growth of audio books
C.some advertisements on audio books
