An Activity for Reading
By: CCTV Department of Education
This activity is developed by reading experts for you to use with children. Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding!
We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children! This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program Readers to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.

Activity: Read to Me
It's important to read to your children, but equally important to listen to them read to you.
What you'll need: Books at your child's reading level
What to do：
▲Read good books to your child. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interests and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas, and ask questions.
▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full page.
▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage him or her to practice reading. Besides, this is another way to enjoy reading together.
▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways：
·Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.
·Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.
·Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

Dear Sunday Globe，
I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn't talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪)．
The first point I'd like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don't shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What's worse, it stops many facetoface conversations from ever beginning.
Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.
Yours truly，
Amber Jala
