Today is World Book and Copyright Day, or International Day of the Book. It is an important reminder about the importance of books, education and knowledge.

I am a bookworm. My problem is that there are always so many books that I want to read, I wish I could finish them all at once :P My Amazon wishlist has way too many books that I haven't yet got to.

My reading speed is not fast, so it usually takes me days to finish one book. Ever since I came to the US, the amount of books written in English soared. I definitely read faster than before but still pretty slow, so I've looked for other ways to get knowledge from English sources, such as audio books and podcasts.

Yanbin loves books. Of course, reading English is a big challenge to him. Currently, he's working on 100-day project of finishing Bill Clinton's biography "My Life", a 950-ish page book. He reads 10 pages every day, holding a highlighter to mark new words. Diligent, love it!

Let's all read more :)

  • 贝小鱼:几点建议:1、这里的“the World Book Day” 可以去掉“the”,“International Day of the Book”不常用;2、“book worm”最好写成:bookworm,后者更常见;3、“wish list”,应是:wishlist,译为“心愿单”;4、“so it usually takes me days to finish one”句末加“book“更容易理解;5、“he's working on 100-day project of finishing Bill Clinton's biography ”句末缺少句号;6、请教:“a 950-ish page”是什么意思呢?期待回复,谢谢!拙见!
    doooodles:@贝小鱼 谢谢😄
    贝小鱼:@doooodles 哦,很棒!加油!
    doooodles:@贝小鱼 谢谢指正,2-4已改正。1. International Day of the Book是从维基百科看到的,所以就用了。4. 书名加了引号。5. 加ish是表明大概950页,不过我之前只用在颜色上过,比如grayish,用在这里是我发明的,哈哈哈
