Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

你的客厅里怎么到处是书啊?这些书你都喜欢看吗? 当然,我每天都要看书。无论是普通杂志,还是著名小说,只要打开它们,就会发现,世界上有那么多有意思的事情,有那么多不一样的生活。 想不到你工作那么忙,还能每天坚持阅读。 如果3分钟读一页书,半个小时就可以读10页。每天花半个小时来读书,一个月就可以读300页,差不多就是一本书了。 是啊,一个真正爱看书的人总能找出时间来阅读。 坚持阅读,除了能增加知识外,还能帮助我减轻压力,人也会变得轻松起来。

English

Why are there books everywhere in your living room? Do you like to read all of these books? Of course, I read every day. Whether it is ordinary magazines or famous novels, as long as you open them, you will discover that there are so many interesting things in the world and so many different kinds of lives. I didn't expect you to be so busy at work yet still manage to read every day. If you read one page in 3 minutes, you can read 10 pages in half an hour. If you spend half an hour reading every day, you can read 300 pages in a month, which is about one book. Yes, a person who truly loves reading can always find time to read. Sticking to reading, besides increasing knowledge, also helps me relieve stress, and one also becomes more relaxed.
