What is World Book Day actually? Many people did not know about its existence and thus, it is quite an eye-opener. This is a event organised by UNESCO on Apr 23, to promote reading.
I like reading, but I am a lazy reader. So, I hardly read thick books and long novels. Personally, I prefer to read short stories, comics and magazines such as Reader Digest and Discovery Channel for the rich and deep information. Why? I can select the articles I like and do not need to spend a lot of time to read chapter by chapter.
I feel that World Book Day is just a symbolic day. It really does not matter which day it falls on. Reading should be cultivated from young and we should read throughout the year.
Our school is also celebrating World Book Day tomorrow. There are many activities held, such as writing competition, wrap-the-door-with-a-book-cover and costume contests. The highlight is a visit of the National Library Board's mobile library bus. The school encourages us to take part in these contests actively, to spread the love for reading.
In line with this week, Mr Lundberg also used the World Book Day's theme, as the situational writing test topic.
I certainly look forward to tomorrow's activities.
