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
=======
Pennsylvania's 8th congressional district serves Bucks County, along with portions of Montgomery County, in Pennsylvania. Republican Brian Fitzpatrick has represented this district since 2017, but is being redistricted to the 1st congressional district.
The district has been primarily based in Bucks County since the 1940s, even as most other districts in Pennsylvania have changed drastically due to population shifts and Pennsylvania's loss of seats in the House. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania redrew the district in February 2018 after ruling the previous map unconstitutional, also reassigning the number to a district in the northeastern part of the state for the 2018 elections and representation thereafter. Most of the 8th will be the successor to the old 17th district that included ancestrally Democratic cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre in the Wyoming Valley along with the addition of the more conservative counties of  Pike and  Wayne. The district is rated slightly Republican with a Cook PVI of R+1; however, the Democratic incumbent of the 17th,  Matthew Cartwright, won in 2018.
