Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Texas District 3 of the United States House of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves a suburban area north and northeast of Dallas. It encompasses a large portion of Collin County including McKinney, Plano, and Frisco, as well as Collin County's share of Dallas itself.
Texas has had at least three congressional districts since 1869.  The current seat dates from a mid-decade redistricting conducted before the 1966 elections after Texas's original 1960s map was thrown out by Wesberry v. Sanders.  It is one of the most Republican districts in both Texas and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.  The GOP has held the seat since a 1968 special election.  The district's current congressman, Sam Johnson, has held the seat since 1991. On January 6, 2017, Johnson announced he would not run for reelection in 2018. Van Taylor was elected on November 6th and is congressman-elect. 
As of the 2010 census, District 3 represents 765,486 people who are predominantly middle-to-upper-class (median family income is US$80,912).  The district is 73.1 percent White (non-Hispanic), 15.06 percent Hispanic or Latino (of any race), 13 percent Asian, and 8.9 percent Black or African American.
