Reading is getting more and more popular among young Chinese. A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially of teenagers, who read an average (平均) of 11. 5 books last year.
The data (数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e-books, magazines and so on. But younger children aged 2-8 are mainly reading for fun.
When it comes to technology and reading, the survey suggests little. It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However, most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit. They serve as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who don't like reading, have more books in the home. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them.
Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you. Please read books as often as you can.
