梦和书构成各自的世界，大家清楚，
书籍是一个充实的世界，纯洁而精良；
我们的消遣和快乐随之增长，
那卷须就像血肉一般地强固。
（华兹华斯，《杂谈》，第3首十四行诗）
Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good;
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
(William Wordsworth, Personal Talk, sonnet 3)
“You can skip a day’s meal, but you can’t skip a day’s reading.” On the occasion of the 26th World Book Day, our students from Grade 7 participated in the English reading performance held by Sanya Education and Training Institute with the theme of “English connecting the world and promoting Sanya”. Under the guidance of their English teachers, Chen Xinyu and Bo Yuhang had done a great job being the hosts and the other 23 students prepared three different kinds of shows and shared their thoughts and feelings after some English reading with everyone presented.
我校的第一个节目是由高雅、李雨菲、赵化溥和刘师伟四位同学向大家呈现的中国古代四大发明配音秀，向观众们展示了四大发明的发展脉络和重要意义。他们在舞台上沉稳大方，表现出彩，最终荣获本次展演活动的一等奖。
Four students, Gao Ya, Li Yufei, Zhao Huapu and Liu Shiwei, presented the history and importance of the Four Great Inventions in ancient China, and they gained the first prize with their calm and generous performance on the stage.
The second show was the wonderful chorus “Pass it on” brought by ten students whose determination to inherit and pass on the splendid Chinese traditions and culture was told through the song. Their wonderful singing won the third prize of the show.
The last show of our school was a creative artwork sharing with the theme of “Peter Pan in Sanya”. Ten students who have read Peter Pan this semester prepared their paintings with high spirits before sharing their paintings with everyone on the stage, and they were also awarded with the second prize of the show.
Undoubtedly, our students had demonstrated their good foreign language skills and cultural literacy through this event, and received some prizes as well. However, what is more important is to understand the reason for holding this event, which is, everyone should keep reading. This kind of reading is not that type for getting good grades only. Instead, it is another type of reading that has a far-reaching and significant impact. Only the latter can really give people strong spiritual support, let them come down to earth again and keep moving on when they fall into the void and lose their goals or feel despaired in the face of difficulties.
It doesn’t matter which language your book is written in or which method you use. Just read freely, and you will never feel alone.
