April 23rd is World Book Day, which reminds people of the great value of reading. In China, national reading surveys show that more and more people are interested in reading.
Many foreign countries have taken action to encourage national reading. In Belgium, almost every neighbourhood has a public library, where teenagers can borrow books at no cost. Libraries hold story-telling activities and writer meetings every week, making reading more enjoyable. Reading is a favourite pastime there.
Why is reading so popular? In fact, it is more than just a personal hobby. It has a strong connection with a country’s development. It helps people gain wisdom and develop creativity, which pushes nations forward.
Also, reading develops our thinking skills. It trains us to think critically(批判地). Good reading habits make our brain more active. A study shows that teenagers who often read can have more creative ideas than those who don’t.
In short, reading can make a big difference to our personal growth and our nation’s future. It enriches personal minds, spreads our culture and helps our country move forward. Let us keep good reading habits and let books guide us to a better tomorrow.
