Today is the World Book Day. It's a yearly event to promote reading, publishing and copyright. World Book Day was celebrated for the first time on 23 April, 1995. 

At present, some students have little interest in reading books. They are more addicted to internet and mobile phones. In fact, reading books, especilly classics, will give us more inspiration and power. We not only gain knowlege but also wisdom through reading good books.

In China, the national reading project has been carried forward in recent years. It is aimed to promot reading  on a national scale, especially in families, communities and schools. It is an important part of the project of increasing the national quality. Every year, a series of activities are put on before or after the world book day, such as book selling, book exhibition, to attract more people to read printed books rather than e-books.
