Reading Pat @ Do you like reading? I don't just like reading, I adore it. I've been an avid reader since I was old enough to hold a book in my hands. RSER Sure...but I'm only doing it 30-40 minutes a day right before I go to sleep. It's a wonderful way to relieve stress and to relax. ‘Well, not that much, just too lazy to pick up a book. But I do enjoy reading sports magazines. © What kinds of books do you usu used to be a big fan of science fiction books, especially ones that involved space or futuristic technology. These days I'm more into non-fiction books about current affairs or history. iy read? LEER I tend to like stuff that's completely different from my life. I've lately been really into historical fiction and adventures. 1 like to read things according to the mood I am in, sometimes it’s all mushy stuff, other time history and autobiography. © How many hours a day would you say you spend on reading? If you include the Internet, then I read for at least two hours a day. I get a lot more of my reading done online than I used to. If you just count books then maybe I only read for half an hour or so each day. . @ Where do you usually read? ‘The best place to read is at home in a comfortable chair, with a cup of tea or some other snack. I's best to read when you can feel peaceful and at home. Cafes are also nice places to read because they have a convivial atmosphere. @ Do you think children like reading nowadays? I think that children do like reading and always have, but nowadays there are many other attractions competing for children’s attention, like TV and video games. The success of book series like Harry Potter proves that reading is alive and well amongst young people. RSBR 1 don’t think so, There's just too much other stuff the younger generations do these days. Reading isn’t one of those things we have to do anymore. WR, HAT.

Some children read books aimed at mature and sophisticated adults whilst a lot of adults like to read trashy romance novels of dubious literary merit. (apse Pee Why do You Love Reading Books? 1am a high school graduate but that was as far as I got. Since then, due to my love of reading, I have become self-educated and my husband said that my knowledge far outdid his college degree Books are learning tools. They not only teach you things, they take you to places you | could never otherwise go. They open your imagination and you are free to view the characters in them any way you can conjure them up. On television or in a play, you pretty much view the | characters as the writer scripted them. Reading opens up a whole new world for anybody and is the basis for a good education. If ‘one can't read, one can't lear, Reading also fosters imagination, writing skills, vocabulary ‘growth, deeper understanding of life around you and better communicative skills.

Everyone at home just calls me Chris. I's much easier to say than Christopher, which is a bit of a mouthful. People only call me that if they want to be formal. © How are babies given their names in China? In China, a newborn baby is a very important event, so naturally names are chosen with great care and hold much significance, The Chinese believe that a child's name affects its fortunes in life so ‘most people are named after something with a positive image or association. [R588 I don’t know, But the Chinese think a name may somehow determine the future of a child, so | some important factors like the time and date of birth are taken into account when parents are | | naming their children @ is there any special ceremony when babies are given their names? In the old days of China, people attached great significance to the naming of a child and held a ceremony to mark the occasion. They would invite an old and wise person considered to be a fortune teller to write down several names on pieces of paper. They then chose one name according to cosmological conditions, and presented it to the family. This ceremony was cause for much celebration. © Why are some Chinese names very similar to each other? In Chinese families relatives often have similar names to one another to symbolize their connection. Often they share one part of their name, and sometimes if you combine the names of several family members you create a sentence. © Do people in China ever change their names? Yes, many people change their name if they think it brings them bad luck or is hindering their career progress. Of course some people simply don't like the way their name sounds, A fortune teller is often consulted when choosing a new name. WR, HAT.

They allow children to grow into educated and intelligent people, ready to understand the world and succeed in it. Without teachers we would all be ignorant brutes. @ Do you think it’s important to like your teachers? You don’t have to like your teacher personally for them to be a good teacher. In fact, sometimes if you see a teacher as your friend it can cause some problems down the line. @ Did any teachers in your high school have a big influence on you? My history teacher has had a lasting impact on me. I learnt so much from his entertaining and educational lessons, and he helped me begin my lifelong love of history. I'll always be grateful to him for that. RSER I can’t say if one teacher inspired me greatly. I've had a few teachers that were awesome and gave ‘me that little push. My English teacher. She was very patient and kind and she taught me a lot about tolerance. We still sent Christmas cards to each other every year. She was an inspiration. @ Were your high school teachers very strict? It depended on the teacher in question. Some were very strict indeed while others were more chilled out and let you get away with more. Compared to most countries I think my teachers weren't that strict. © What sort of personality do teachers need to have? “Patience is a virtue” as the saying goes, and I believe teachers need to possess this quality in abundance. It's a tiring and stressful job, so teachers have to be calm and in control at all times. ‘They also need to have a passion for their subject. RSER ‘A good teacher has patience, listens to the students, makes encouraging comments to the students who seem to struggle either with their work or with emotions, I think that a few good qualities include being down-to-earth with her students, understanding, their problems before judging the student as right or wrong. © Would you like to be a school teacher? It would be a pretty good job. I'd like to be stimulated by teaching a class of eager young minds. I imagine it would be a hard job to do well, but a rewarding one. WR, HAT.
