World Book Day
World Book Day, which is on the birthday of British author William Shakespeare, celebrates books and reading. Read about one of the best books below.
Family is a common theme in literature. The book Far from the Tree focuses on this topic. It tells the story of an adopted(被收养的) girl named Grace who looks for her biological family—her older brother and younger sister. They grow up in different environments and meet for the first time as teenagers. The book shows their lives and how they feel when they meet each other at last.
US author Robin Benway wrote the book, which won the National Book Award for Young People. It is “heart-warming” and “heart-wrenching(令人心痛的)”, Publishers Weekly noted.
World Earth Day
April 22nd is World Earth Day, a time for us to enjoy nature and learn how to protect our environment. It was first celebrated in 1970. On this day, people gather to clean up litter, protest（抗议） threats（威胁） to the environment and celebrate achievements that have been made in fighting pollution. However, our desire to protect the earth should last longer than one day. We can help through everyday actions. We can try to do these small things each month and make them our daily habits.
• When we go out, choose to walk or take a bus. This helps to cut carbon dioxide emission(二氧化碳排放).
• Try to save water. For example, don't leave the water running while we brush our teeth.
• Learn how to sort(分类) waste. Put bottles and cans into the recycling bin.
• Save electricity. Turn off the lights when we leave a room.
