April 23rd is World Book Day, which reminds people of the great value of reading. In China, national reading surveys show that more and more people are interested in reading. Different reading events are organized in many cities every year, attracting people to take part in them. All these facts show that reading has become a habit among people across the country.
Many foreign countries have taken action to encourage national reading. In Belgium, almost every neighborhood has a public library, where teenagers can borrow books for free. Libraries hold storytelling activities and writer meetings every week, making reading more enjoyable. Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, famous as the "World Book Capital", has the most bookstores per person in the world. Reading is a favorite pastime there.
Why is reading so popular? In fact, it is more than just a personal hobby. It has a strong connection with a country's development. It helps people gain wisdom and develop creativity, which pushes nations forward. For example, the four horse-themed mascots(吉祥物) for the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala were inspired by classic Chinese cultural relics and historical materials. These designs mix traditional ideas of "energy" and "good luck" with modern styles. Reading helps to bring new life to traditional culture.
Also, reading develops our thinking skills. It trains us to watch, compare, analyze, and think critically. Good reading habits make our brains more active. A study shows that teenagers who often read can have more creative ideas than those who don't.
In short, reading can make a big difference to our personal growth and our nation's future. It enriches personal minds, spreads our culture, and helps our country move forward.
