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
=======
Indiana's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Indiana. The district is based in Gary and its surrounding suburbs and exurbs. It consists of all of Lake and Porter counties and most of western LaPorte County in the northwestern part of the state.  Redistricting passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2011 shifted the district's boundaries, effective January 2013, to include all of Lake and Porter counties and the western and northwestern townships of LaPorte County, while moving Benton, Jasper and Newton counties out of the district.
The district is currently represented by Democrat Pete Visclosky.
The district's character is very different from the rest of Indiana.  It includes almost all of the Indiana side of the Chicago metropolitan area.  While Porter and LaPorte counties are swing counties, Lake County is heavily Democratic. Lake County contains more than 70 percent of the district's population and has more people than the rest of the district combined, which is enough to make the 1st a relatively safe Democratic seat. The district has not elected a Republican to Congress in 90 years, making it one of the most Democratic districts in the nation. Among Indiana's congressional districts, only the Indianapolis-based 7th District is more Democratic.
