- [Narrator] Hello readers, today I wanna talk to you

about why we read more than one text on one topic.

to 不定詞

And to show you why I shall use a subject

I legitimately wrote a book about this a few years ago,

So I wanna use this experience to show you why it's

important to read more than one source on a subject.

I read one text about the Pacific Blue-ringed octopus.

Why do I need to read two or three or 20?

Let's start with the first, expert knowledge.

you can't just look at a single piece of writing say,

you need to be able to say well, this book says

the Pacific octopus toxin can stop your heart.

But this one says that you can tell whether

or not an octopus is frightened by its color.

Reason number two to read multiple sources,

helping to determine or know what's true.

It helps to read more than one text to make sure

you're getting as many perspectives or ideas as you can.

might be outdated or information from a new book

Reading different texts can help you decide

or even whether or not something is true.

to read multiple texts on the same topic,

The more information you can get about a topic,

I think that this animal is the most dangerous

because I've read a bunch of different works

and I can support it with evidence, you would say.

If I were to say that bears are more dangerous

bears have sharper teeth, bears are stronger.

It's important to recognize that different books

Sometimes it's obvious like a book with the title,

"Deadly animals and how to protect their habitats."

People have opinions and people make books.

So, that means that books can have opinions too.

It's important to be able to read more than one text,

compare them and then decide what you think from that.

It helps to have a purpose in mind too as you read.

Oh, and to answer your unspoken question,

the deadliest animals on earth are definitely human beings
