Reader’s Digest is a very familiar magazine among Malaysian as an English magazine. This is one of the compact magazines which always grab my attention to buy and read. This is because this magazine sells in a very reasonable prize according to the content of this magazine. Reader’s Digest mostly covered news from all departments, for example health, family and children, recipes, true stories, jokes and many more. The section, which I love to read is the true stories and of course the recipes. Besides that, the jokes corner will always the part I will share with my family members to laugh together. One of the jokes which is really funny is which from the September’s edition is, which is,“A Baby Mosquito had just returned after his first flight. Daddy mosquito asked, “So, son how did it feel?” The baby mosquito replied, “Wow, dad, it was wonderful. Everyone was clapping for me!””. As we all know laugh is a good medicine to reduce stress so, this magazine gives general knowledge as the same time gives us a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, there is also vocabulary tests are given in this magazine in actuality gives challenge to the readers.
This magazine is not only with long winded articles but also with a breathtaking captures which taken from the setting of that particular articles. “There’s a girl by the tracks!” is one of the best articles from May 2011 edition. This article is by Devan Kanal, he writes about a how the young guy rescued a young girl Roma who was thrown out of the train coach. He takes a quick decision to safe her from the opposite train which is speeding towards her. One of the inspiring lines from that article was “that day, it was Roma. Tomorrow, it could be you or me by the tracks, bleeding and alone”. This shows Reader’s Digest will only gives the best to the readers.
