Do you like reading? Here is some advice to help you improve your reading skills.

Get into the habit of reading regularly. Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can.

Reading should be fun, so make sure the texts you choose are not too difficult for you. If you think the reading material is a challenge, find something easier. Try to read books that are written especially for ESL(English as a second language)learners. Here is a guide on how to choose a book.

★Is this the book you want to read? Look at the book's cover. Usually this will give you some ideas of what the book is about.

★Is this the right level? You can choose a page near the middle of the book and read it. Do you understand more than 70% of the text? If you do, then it's probably the right level for you.

Find a writer you like and read all his or her books. By doing this you will know the style of the writer, it can also help you master typical words and grammar that he or she usually uses.

Try to read things more than once. Read something and then read it again a few weeks or months later. You will understand it better.

Try to discuss a book with other people. Join an online book club or write book reviews online. As you share your ideas with others and others share theirs with vou, you are able to hear different opinions and learn from them.

Maybe there are many moving stories around you. Today you can know one of them. This story is just so sweet and sad at the same time. 11-year-old Lu Zikuan had to eat five times a day because he wanted to save his father's life.

His father got badly ill years ago. Doctors told him that the only way to save his father's life was with a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植). Lu was the only person in the family to save his dad. But there was one big problem—he had only 30 kg. And doctors told the family that the boy had to gain weight (增重) to at least 15 kg. In order to do the transplant safely，Lu ate a lot for five meals a day. This made it hard for him to walk. He was only a primary school student, but in the end, he gained enough weight and saved his father in September.

"Adding each kilogram means I'm one step closer to helping my dad. I can do it, "Lu said. The boy got an award for his filial piety (孝顺) in a contest called Searching for Filial Teens. He set a good example for young people. "I will look after my father well, and I will be more filial to my parents. "Lu said.

What do you usually do in your free time? Do you watch short videos on some apps? According to the China Internet Network Information Centre, the number of short video users reached 773 million in March, 2020. That is, about 86% of all Chinese Internet users are watching or making short videos, or both! If you say short videos are only popular in China，you are wrong. TikTok (抖音) has more than 800 million users around the world.

Many users like short videos. They say the videos not only make them relax, but also teach them useful skills. "I love watching Iao Qiao's short videos on my phone, "Francis, one of the short video users, says. "Lao Qiao is a famous cook and his videos are my favourite ones. From his videos, people can learn how to make Shaanxi noodles in no time at all. "

However, quite a few people think short videos are not that good. "There are many other ways to relax, like watching movies, reading books and playing sports, " they say. "All of them are more meaningful (有意义的) to people. "What's more，if people start watching the short videos， they can't stop. There are always new ones waiting for them, so they always spend hours on them.

Some teachers say people should not spend much time on short videos. " Most of them are just for fun, " they say. " They don't teach people to think or to improve themselves. It's not good for the people, and not good for society (社会), either. "

If you go into theforest with friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. Sit downand stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends, but let them find youinstead. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is anotherway to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle(吹口哨) 3 times. Stop for a while. Thenshout or whistle 3 times again. Any signal given 3 times is a help.

Keep up shouting orwhistling. Always 3 times together. When people hear you, they will know thatyou are not just making a noise for fun. They'll let you know that they haveheard your signal. They'll give you 2 shout or 2 whistles. When a signal isgiven twice, it's an answer to a call for help.

If you don't thinkthat you'll get help before night comes, try to make a little house withbranches (树枝). Make yourself a bed withleaves and grass. When you need some water, you have to leave little branch tolook for it. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as youwalk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most importantthing is to stay in one place.

Everyone can join the fight against C0V1D-19. Not sure what you should do? Here is some advice.

•Stay away from the crowds and keep healthy

Don't go to crowded places. If you have to, remember to wear a mask. Stay at least one meter away from others. COVID-19 can spread through mucus droplets (粘液飞沫). The droplets can fly one to two meters in the air before falling to the ground. If you don't wear a mask, you can get sick easily. And sick people should wear masks to make sure they don't give the virus to others.

When you stay indoors, open windows to let fresh air in. Do it three times a day for fifteen minutes to half an hour each time.

•Wash hands

Remember to wash your hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, coming into contact with rubbish and touching animals. Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands. When you wash your hands, use running water and soap.

•Choose proper masks

Wearing masks is a good way of stopping the virus from entering your mouth and nose, but you must choose proper ones. Medical masks and N 95 masks are the best choices. "N 95" means the mask stops at least 95 percent of very tiny particles.
