func readToDisplayUsingFile1(f *os.File){
    defer f.Close()
    reader := bufio.NewReader(f)
    contents, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(reader)

}

or

func readToDisplayUsingFile1(f *os.File){
    defer f.Close()
    slice := make([]string,0)

    reader := bufio.NewReader(f)

    for{

    str, err := reader.ReadString('\n')
    if err == io.EOF{
        break
    }

        slice = append(slice, str)
    }
