B
World Book and Copyright Day falls on 23 April every year. It started in 1995 to wish people to get the pleasure of reading. It means your teachers or parents tell you to do so. “Reading for pleasure” is very important in our life.
Books，magazines，newspapers and so on can help us know more about the outside world and make us perfect. However，playing too many computer games and watching online videos keep us away from books. Some experts believe it's a worrying trend. Chinese people read more books in 2021 than in 2020 but they still read less than people in major developed countries. Even worse，many bookstores have closed their doors because many book lovers start to buy fewer books than before.
However，many people still like reading because it has been part of their life. It can
benefit people in many ways. It gives us information about other countries and places in the world. It also helps us to form(形成)our personality and makes us cleverer. The more we read，the more we will know. The more we know，the smarter we will become. It's never too late to start reading. So jump into the wonderful world of books now!
