Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to do more homework than US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time. But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you can’t imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own personal beliefs and attitudes.

Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.You will need:●one piece of heavy colored paper ●five ribbons●strong tape ●a string●a pencil tubeWhat to do: Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you. Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(邊緣) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle. Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube.
