on reading演讲稿Have you insisted on reading great booksWhat is a great book? There is no end to the making of books. Nor does there seem to be any end to the making lists of great books. There has always be more books than one could read. You can be happy at the fact that the number of that is relatively small.However,today,people usually leave it in the library. According to the national reading survey issued by The China Academy of Press and Publication, in 20xx, only 55% Chinese aged between18 and 70 book read books .That is to say, there are more than forty percent of the people seldom read in China.It is a great challenge to literature. As a educated student,have you insist on reading great books. In order to change the situation ,we must take actions to read great books.In Adler’s essay of What is A Great Book, he explain why we should read great books. I conclude it as follows.First,great books are the most readable. They will not let you down ,if you read them well. The have more ideas per page thanmost books in the their entirety. This is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust it contents.Second ,great books are always contemporary,in contrast to the books we called contemporary,because they are currently popular ,last for a year or tow,or ten at most. You may probably can not recall the names of many earlier best sellers,and you may probably would not be interest in reading them. But the great are never out modeled by the movement of thought or the shifting winds of opinion .Third ,great books are the most instructive. This follows the fact that they are original communications. They contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree what they say. They are the primary teachers of mankind. They have made basic contribution to human right .Just giving you the reason is not enough, I will give you some methods to realize you reading dream.Firstly,you can begin with a interesting novel. You will be attracted by the figures,the plots .Than ,after reading a lot of books ,you may be get into a habit of reading. So,you can contactwith some complex books,such as philosophy ,arts and so on. You will be shocked at the new world.There are countless great books in our library,you must make great advantage of it. Of course ,it is a better choice to buy great books. Collecting books is a enjoyable thing,at least for me. So,reading great books. The new world is coming.。
Unit3OnReading
Unit3OnReading第一篇：Unit 3 On ReadingON READINGW.Somerset Maugham1.The first thing I want to insist on is that reading should be enjoyable.Of course, there are many books that we all have to read, either to pass examinations or to acquire information, from which it is impossible to extract enjoyment.We are reading them for instruction, and the best we can hope is that our need for it will enable us to get through them without tedium.Such books we read with resignation rather than with alacrity.But that is not the sort of reading I have in mind.The books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to get a degree nor to earn your living.They will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run, but they will help you to live more fully.That, however, they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.2.The “you” I address is the adult whose avocations give him certain leisure and who would like to read the books which can without loss be left unread.I do not address the bookworm.He can find his own way.I wish to deal only with the masterpieces which the consensus of opinion for a long time has accepted as supreme.We are all supposed to have read them;it is a pity that so few of us have.But there are masterpieces which are acknowledged to be such by all the best critics and to which the historians of literature devote considerable space, yet which no ordinary person can now read with enjoyment.They are important to the students, but changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour and it is hard to read them now without an effort of will.Let me give one instance: I have read George Eliot’s Adam Bede, but Icannot put my hand on my heart and say that was with pleasure.I read it from a sense of duty;I finished it with a sigh of relief.3.Now of such books as this I mean to say nothing.Every man is his own best critic.Whatever the learned say about a book, however unanimous they are in their praise of it, unless it interests you, it is no business of yours.Don’t forget that critics often make mistakes — the history of criticism is full of the blunders the most eminent of them have made, and you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading.This, of course, applies to the books I am going to recommend to your attention.We are none of us exactly like everyone else, only rather like, and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the books that have meant a great deal to me should be precisely those that will mean a great deal to you.But they are books that I feel the richer for having read, and I think I should not be quite the man I am if I had not read them.And so I beg of you, if any of you who read these pages are tempted to read the books I suggest and cannot get on with them, just put them down;they will be of no service to you if you do not enjoy them.No one is under an obligation to read poetry or fiction or the miscellaneous literature which is classed as belles-lettres.(I wish I knew the English term for this, but I don’t think there is one.)He must read them for pleasure, and who can claim that what pleases one man must necessarily please another?4.But let no one think that pleasure is immoral.Pleasure in itself is a great good, all pleasure, but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it.Nor need pleasure be gross and sensual.They are wise in their generation who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring.It is well to acquire thehabit of reading.To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all themiseries of life.Almost all, I say, for I would not go so far as to pretend that to read a book will assuage the pangs of hunger or still the pain of unrequited love;but half a dozen good detective stories and a hot-water bottle will enable anyone to snap his fingers at the worst cold in the head.But who is going to acquire the habit of reading for reading’s sake, if he is bidden to read books that bore him?5.It is more convenient to take the books of which I am now going to speak in chronological order, but I can see no reason why, if you make up your mind to read them, you should do so in that order.I think you would be much better advised to read them according to your fancy;nor do I see even why you should read them one by one.For my own part, I find it more agreeable to read four or five books together.After all, you aren’t in the same mood on one day as on another, nor have you the same eagerness to read a certain book at all hours of the day.We must suit ourselves in these matters, and I have naturally adopted the plan that best suits me.In the morning before I start work I read for a while a book, either of science or philosophy, that requires a fresh and attentive brain.It sets me off for the ter on, when my work is done and I feel at ease, but not inclined for mental exercise of a strenuous character, I read history, essays, criticism or biography;and in the evening I read a novel.Besides these, I keep on hand a volume of poetry in case I feel in the mood for that, and by my bedside I have one of those books, too rarely to be found, alas, which you can dip into at any place and stop reading with equanimity at the end of any paragraph.6.Upon looking back on what I have written, I noticethat I have more than once suggested to you that you would be wise now and then to skip.I think all the books I have mentioned are important enough to be read thoroughly, but even they are more enjoyable if you exercise your right to skip.Change of taste has rendered certain parts of even great works tedious.We no longer want to be bothered with the moral dissertations of which the eighteenth century was so fond, nor with the lengthy descriptions of scenery which were favoured in the nineteenth.When the novel became realistic authors fell in love with detail for its own sake, and it took them a long time to discover that detail is interesting only if it is relevant.To know how to skip is to know how to read with profit and pleasure, but how you are to learn it I cannot tell you, for it is a trick I have never acquired.I am a bad skipper;I am afraid of missing something that may be of value to me, and so will read pages that only weary me;when once I begin to skip, I cannot stop, and end the book dissatisfied with myself because I am aware I have not done it justice, and then I am apt to think that I might just as well never have read it at all.。

One of the books that I have recently read is called At Home: A ShortHistory of Private Life by an author called Bill Bryson. It is a thick, factualbookabout many different subjects. It is really a collection of information andanecdotes related to our private lives, past and present.The book is mainly about things that have been included in our homes overthe centuries. The author started out by wondering about the history ofeverything in his own home. As it is a factual book rather than a novel, it doesnot have a plot as such. Each chapter in the book covers the history of aparticular room. For exle, the chapter on the kitchen talks about the historyof running water, electricity, gas cooking and so on. The chapter aboutthebathroom looks at the history of plumbing, sanitation and privacy. Thebookcontains so much interesting information that I think I will have to read itagain in order to take it all in.As to the kind of people who would enjoy it, I think anybody who isinterested in history and enjoys learning lots of interesting facts would enjoyreading this book. It would also appeal to a busy person, as it’s a good book todip in and out of, because you don’t have to follow a story, as you would with anovel. You can just take it chapter by chapter, or even page by page, as thereis something to learn on every page. Each chapter is written like a story, eventhough it is a factual book, so it takes the reader to all sorts of unexpectedplaces, and for me it was a real page-turner.I like this book because I learned such a huge amount from it, which hasmade me look around my own home with different eyes and appreciate just how farwe have e in a short space of time in terms of architecture, technology,lighting, fort and many other things.雅思口语part2话题卡参考范文：描绘一本让人振奋的书(Describe an exciting book you have read)You should say:What is the name of the bookwhat type of book it ishow you knew this bookand explain why you like to remend this book to your friend1.适用人群：全适用2.主题：小木马的冒险3.故事线：它实际上是一本儿童读物，我想它一定是由我的父母为我挑选的。
My view on reading(我看读书)
My view on readingTo be honest, I used to argue that reading is the best even the only way one can acquire most knowledge because I always heard the voice ”knowledge is power to change your fate, you must do a lot of reading ”from my parents, teachers and my elder brothers or sisters when I was young. But now, after I have been believed it for 15 years, I doubt it.Believe it or not, reading really takes a great deal of time. If you have that time you can do some other things which is more practical. Think about students especially the high school students spending less than 9 hours per day on eating, exercise and sleeping while more than 15 hours on reading. But after a crazy summer holiday before they attend university, how much could they still recite?If you think your time is enough to waste, how about the mistakes. What I mean is something you are reading now might be false. What you are reading is wrote in one past time, dare you to totally believe the “truth” that a long time after the writer’s age? To say the least, the reading is perfect, but you need to drop it to do something rather than reading eventually because genuine knowledge comes from practice.At last, let’s look back to the reality, reading is far no more the best or only way to study. Personally, I often study through some online-video which is more abundant and accurate. Besides, by this way, the education resource can be fairer. And if you have a trouble, I think, a sking for other’s help is more useful than looking through a large amount of information by reading.May you get rid of the ”reading” soon.。
my view on reading
my view on reading"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." This famous quote by Richard Steele emphasizes the importance of reading. In my view, reading is not only a means of entertainment but also a powerful tool for personal growth and development.Firstly, reading broadens our horizons. Through books, we can explore different cultures, histories, and perspectives. It exposes us to new ideas and ways of thinking, enabling us to understand the world beyond our immediate experience.Secondly, reading enhances our cognitive abilities. It exercises our minds, improves concentration, and memory. By engaging with complex texts, we develop critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze and interpret information. This, in turn, helps us become better problem-solvers in various aspects of life.Moreover, reading has a profound impact on our emotional and spiritual well-being. It allows us to immerse ourselves in fictional worlds, evoke empathy, and experience a wide range of emotions. Fiction can transport us to different times and places, while non-fiction provides valuable insights and knowledge. Reading can be therapeutic, providing solace during difficult times and inspiring us to grow and become better versions of ourselves.In conclusion, reading is an essential activity that enriches our lives in countless ways. It is a window to new ideas, a tool for personal development, and a source of entertainment and inspiration. So, I encourage everyone to make reading a regular part of their lives and embrace the countless benefits it offers.。
On Reading作文范文
On ReadingIt’s generally believed that reading is an important part of our life. To begin with, it undoubtedly enriches our life. When we feel lonesome, we can pick up a book and enjoy what we read. By reading, we may feel we are living different kinds of lives, and talking to people of different periods in history. Besides, by reading, we may also feel someone is giving us some good advice on life and work. Therefore, reading is really indispensable to our life.To be good readers, we should take at least three factors into account. First, one should read extensively. No doubt, the more books one reads, the more one is inclined to read. Besides, a good reader should always read some books actively rather than passively, because reading is viewed as a kind of effective intercourse with the writer. Finally, a good reader should always ponder upon what he reads, for reading without reflecting is like eating without digestion.All in all, from reading comes understanding; and from understanding comes more reading. A good reader is one who not only reads actively and extensively, but also reads with full understanding.。

on reading 原文及译文
on reading 原文及译文一、原文Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned.To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things.Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not.Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stond or impediment in the wit, but may be wrought out by fit studies; like as diseases of the body, may be have appropriate exercises. Bowling is good for the stone and reins; shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like. So if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again. If his wit be not apt to distinguish or find differences, let him study the Schoolmen; for they are cymini sectores. If he be not able to beat hisarguments into head or tail, that is, to make his own inferences, let him study the lawyers' cases. So every defect of the mind, may have a special receipt.二、译文读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。
