To go with the Yang Cheng Reading Festival, our school has done a survey. We found that 56% of the students spend less than one hour reading after class each day, while 33% of them read for one to two hours. Only 11% of the students read for more than three hours.
As we all know, reading can increase our knowledge. Moreover, it is a good way to improve our ability of solving problems. At the same time, it helps us form a good habit and makes our life colorful.
In my opinion, we had better join some reading clubs, set some classroom bookshelves. Besides, we can organize some reading competitions so that we can do better in our study.
