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 second congressional district includes several areas of the city of Philadelphia – West Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, and Northwest Philadelphia—in addition to parts of South Philadelphia, Center City, and western suburbs such as Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. Before the 113th Congress, the district did not contain Lower Merion Township but instead contained Cheltenham Township.
The district has an overwhelming Democratic majority. With the 115th Congress, it is the fourth most Democratic Congressional District out of the 435 in the nation, according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index, with a score of D +40. It is also the most Democratic district outside New York and California, and the most Democratic district in a state that voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania redrew the district in February 2018 after ruling the previous map unconstitutional. The new second district will include portions of northeastern and central Philadelphia–essentially, the successor to the old first district. As such, it remained heavily Democratic for the 2018 election and representation thereafter. Brendan Boyle ran for re-election in the new 2nd District. parts of the old second district will be shifted to the third.Congressman Chaka Fattah represented the district from 1995 to 2016. On July 29, 2015, Fattah and a group of associates were indicted on federal charges related to their alleged roles in a racketeering and influence peddling conspiracy. On April 26, 2016, Dwight Evans toppled Fattah in a competitive Democratic primary election.  Fattah resigned June 23, 2016. Evans then won a special election to fill Fattah's seat.  He also won election for the regular term beginning January 3, 2017. Evans won re-election in the new 3rd congressional district.
