World Book Day is on April 23rd every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to find out the fun of reading. It is also the day to honor great writers, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.
Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take the UK as an example. On that day, millions of schoolchildren can buy books at a much lower price than usual in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998.
World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Xi Jinping, Chinese President, does lots of reading every day though he is very busy. On World Book Day 2020, he called on young people to do more reading. "Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading." he said.
Reading can be good for people in many ways. Reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that we don't know. We would have to use our head to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. The more we know, the smarter we become. What's more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English. We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom, such as the ways English people are speaking and writing today. Reading helps us.
"Reading makes a full man." Bacon said. Therefore, it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.
