We all know that reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In our country, people read books at any time. They enjoy reading books even when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike. Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books. Here are some tips on how to develop good reading habits.
Choose the books which suit you. In most middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read, like youth novels. The students themselves can also buy books which they’re interested in or the best-selling books.
Reading in short periods. 15 minutes after getting to school, 15 minutes while waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. Then you can read books for about five hours every week in total.
Talk about your reading with your family or friends. This helps you have a better understanding.

The World Book’s Day is on April 23rd. It is a great day to start developing(养成) a habit—reading.
Here are some ways for you.
You should have a few set(固定的) times every day, and read during that time no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read after you get up or before you go to bed. It’s OK to read for an hour or only five minutes. Soon, you can feel how the changes that books bring to you.
Wherever you go, take a book with you. When I leave my house, I always make sure of having my keys and my book. Taking a good book all the time with you is the very first step to develop a reading habit. Don’t forget to carry yours next time you go out!
Write down the names of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in your notebook. Remember to add to it whenever you hear about a good book, online or in person. And never forget to cross out (删除)the ones you have read.
Find a place in your home. There you can sit in a chair and read. There should be no TV or computer near the chair, and no music or other family members. If you don’t have a place like this, just make one.

It’s back-to-school time for kids across America. For the lucky students in Stephens’ classroom at James Middle School, they’re already in a magical world.
“As a reading teacher, the most difficult thing for me is building a love of reading in students that do not like reading,” Stephens said. This 31-year-old teacher wrote to ABC News about her magical classroom with the theme(主题)of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone(《哈利•波特与魔法石》)”. “This year, I make a Harry Potter theme classroom. My goal(目的)is to help students find interest in reading. I think if I am excited and happy, students would like to follow me. At least they can find one book exciting and be full of interest just as I am interested in Harry Potter.”
When kids walked into the classroom on the first day of school on August 20, they were all excited. They felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts(霍格沃兹). It took the creative teacher a week to prepare the magical classroom. She put different book-themed things in it. All the students were showing their interest in it greatly.
She’s encouraging her students to love school and learning. Stephens divides(分开)her class into different “houses”. Students can get “house points” for good acts.

【推荐1】Did you watch the 19 Asian Games opening ceremony in Hangzhou on September 23rd, 2023? Were you surprised when the final torchbearer (火炬手) Wang Shun and the digital (数字的) torchbearer lit the main torch together?
Sha Xiaolan, the chief producer (总制片人) of the opening ceremony, said, “We’ve fully integrated (融入) AR and 3D technologies into the opening ceremony. This was probably the greatest integration of technology into something like an opening ceremony of this kind.”
The opening ceremony started from the Kongming Lanterns at the beginning. In between, there were shows of the three mascots through 3D technology. And you could enjoy the digital fireworks and digital torchbearer in the end.
“You saw a little of such technologies during the closing ceremony at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. But now we have better techniques and creativity.” Sha said. “We integrated these technologies into the ceremony to show that Hangzhou is trying its best to hold environmentally-friendly Asian Games. We were improving and making things better,” Sha said. “I think the opening ceremony is beyond our expectations.”
