For a beginner the best option is not to use "use" at all. OK, you have to
type a lot more but understanding will be better.

Later, when you have the understanding use "use" selective. "with" need to
be placed before package - "use" does not:

with Ada.Text_IO;

package ...

  procedure ...
  is
     use Ada.Text_IO;
  begin
  end ...;

end ...;

is just as vaild. And the reason why there are two of them.
