which is better reading or listening?

It depends on what I'm reading and listening to. I love reading everything from novels to magazine to websites. I just really love reading. I also love listening to my favorite music. I'm not really always listening to audiobooks since I prefer reading it than listening it. But reading and listening as activities, I both love doing them.

In school I perfer to read the information than listen to it. I tend to learn better when the information is right in front of me and I can see it. I also have some teachers that will talk for over an hour with the same tone the whole time. This makes it really hard to listen to them because they are showing no emotion about the subject. If they can't act interested in the topic, why should I be interested. I have had some very interesting topics be ruined by listening to a teacher who displays themselves as bored to be talking about it. However, I am very good at debating. That may be why I want to become an attorney. If I know that there is going to be a debate in class, I make sure to listen to the information. YOu can pick up a lot from the tone of someone's voice. The more excited they are, the more passionate about the subject they are. This can lead to some pretty good debates.

I like reading than listening.While reading i can fully concentrate to it.

I always prefer to read than listen.I can focus much better when i am reading something.If i am listening to something, my mind tends to wander and i lse track of what the speaker has to say.Of course some people do have a problem while reading.They fall asleep.My cousin has a double problem, she falls asleep if she reads and also when she listens to somebody talking.We tease her over this habit.I love reading and can read for long hours.

I would greatly prefer to read something than to listen to it. Sound has the unfortunate tendency either to become backgound noise or to be misheard, and it is not always convenient to go back and listen to the words again or to ask a speaker to repeat himself. The only benefit that I find in listening to something communicated verbally is that it is much easier to understand the tone of the person speaking. I prefer emails and online text-based meetings to meetings with verbal communication. This gives me more time to think over what has been said, and to better prepare a response of my own. I also prefer reading a book over listening to an audiobook. As I mentioned earlier, some sounds quickly become background noise and I know that I would miss a lot of storyline that way.

each has its unique style reading is always better (to understand precisely) however a good narration makes listening better

I enjoy reading but it is easier to listen to things. I feel that I'm able to get things done faster that way. I can clean, straighten up, drive somewhere, etc and at the same time be taking in information.

I think it would depend on how you would like the information presented to you, and are you in the mood for debate? Written words don't in and of themselves convey emotion, words have to be added for the reader to learn the emotional state of the character at the time. So if at the time you wish to learn something without external input, or you are learning a concept that reading it again, or reading ahead may help then the book is the way to go. Listening to a verbal presentation affords one the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter, and perhaps debate the points being made. Also the spoken word carries emotion, so there is extra information that can be gleaned from that. Personally I feel some things are better conveyed by words, while others work best with verbal communication. I think which is better depends on what you are trying to learn, how an individual best receives information, and if an emotional angle is prudent to the information.
