Regarding the topics raised by Zhang Zhong, the students were all very positive and talked about the first extracurricular book they had ever read.
Most of the students talked about the kind of comic books, and some students talked about the kind of extracurricular readings that were purely text-based.
Of course, after all these years, not everyone can remember what the first extracurricular book they read was.
But since they can remember it, the book whose title is spoken on their behalf is the childhood book that left the deepest impression on them.
"When did you start to realize that you like reading?" Zhang Zhong asked a second question.
He did not consider the possibility that some people here did not like reading, because he felt that everyone here liked reading, otherwise there would be no need to sit here.
Compared with the first question, this question is a little less specific and more difficult to answer.
Seeing no one answered, Zhang Zhong directly called his name and said, "Yu Bi, you were the first to answer just now, so you should come first this time."
Yu Bi smiled and said, "Dean, I really can't answer this question. I remember that I have loved reading books since I was a child. My father works in engineering, and his education and cultural level are not high, but there are quite a lot of books in the family.
I don’t have any other hobbies, so I just sit among a bunch of books. No one cares about me anyway, I can read whatever I want.”
"Wang Jin, where are you?" Zhang Zhong looked at Wang Jin next to Yu Bi.
"I'm different from Yu Bi. There are few books in my family, so reading is not that easy. When I was in the first year of junior high school, I really wanted to read a book, but I didn't have one at home and couldn't borrow it from my classmates, so I had to go to the town to buy it.
My home is eight kilometers away from the town. It’s not too far, but at that time, the rural roads were not as good as they are now, and there were no buses. Originally, I could wait for my mother to come back from work, and then ride her electric bike to buy books.
But I really couldn't wait any longer, so I walked there. It was eight kilometers, and I walked very fast. I walked there in an hour and a half. In the end, I bought the book as I wished. I read it in the bookstore after I bought it, and waited until I got home.
It was already dark when we arrived, and my mother was extremely anxious when she saw that I hadn’t come home. She didn’t have a mobile phone at the time, so she couldn’t contact me.”
Speaking of the past, Wang Jin was quite emotional, "When other people found out about what I did, they all said that I was a person who loved reading. After hearing what they said more often, I felt that I loved reading more than others. So, it was also at that time.
, I realized that I am a person who loves to read.”
Zhang nodded and said, "This is a precious memory. Can I ask which book you were reading at that time?"
""One Hundred Tips for Fighting Landlords"." Wang Jin said seriously.
Hearing the title of the book, even Zhang Zhong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The behavior of other students was even more obvious, and one or two of them were suppressing laughter.
But maybe because they can’t laugh at other people’s reading preferences, everyone is trying to be patient.
Wang Jin himself laughed, "Of course not. In fact, I was watching "Quiet River" at the time. I was afraid that the past events I just mentioned would affect the atmosphere, so I deliberately adjusted the atmosphere."
Zhang Zhong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I see you've been watching "The Complete Book of Jokes" a lot."
Yu Bi followed and said, "And it's "The Complete Collection of Cold Jokes"."
This time the students finally couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Zhong waited for them to stop laughing, then pressed his hands and said, "Okay, okay, this question is over for now. I want to ask you the third question. Why are you studying, and what reasons have you had?
What is the reason now and has it changed?"
This time Yu Bi took the initiative to raise his hand, but Zhang Zhong ignored him and looked behind him, "Xiao Yan, please tell me."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I started reading because I liked reading, so I read all the books I liked. For example, some of the books I particularly liked to read when I was in junior high school included "The Devil's Nanny Falls in Love with Me"
, "My Royal Highness", "The Happy Life of the Domineering President" and so on."
Zhang Zhong suspected that Xiao Yan and Wang Jin were reading the same "Collection of Cold Jokes", and they could both name the titles of these books so seriously.
Of course, Xiao Yan's actions are worthy of encouragement. Nowadays, people always compare how advanced and literary they are with the books they have read, so it is a great thing to be able to face those books that they have read that do not seem to be very advanced.
Very good thing.
Just because she once watched "The Devil's Nanny Falls in Love with Me" does not affect Xiao Yan's current viewing of "Lord of the Flies" and "Sibo".
Xiao Yan continued, "Later, someone told me that the books I read were not nutritious, so I forced myself to read those nutritious books. Thinking about it now, my idea at the time was quite ridiculous, and I was too easily influenced by others.
But the result was pretty good. I was forced to read books that others said were nutritious at first, but then I fell in love with some of the books that others said were nutritious. I fell in love with reading again because I liked it, but
The books I read are no longer the same.”
"Well, that's good." Zhang nodded.
Xiao Yan said it very simply, but the truth is very real.
In the beginning, she read books purely based on her preference, or a primitive instinct. Most of them just felt good and that was it.
Later, she was looked down upon for reading these books and started reading books that others said were nutritious. This was the second stage.
No one is immune to the influence of others, because everyone is a social being.
But then she ushered in the third stage. She began to no longer read books because of her original impulse, nor did she read books because of other people's preferences. She already had her own taste and pursuit.
Xiao Yan gave a good answer to Zhang Zhong's third question, so he didn't ask anyone else, but asked the fourth question, "What impact do you think reading has had on you?"
There are many answers to this question. Some people say that there is a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu is in the book. Some people say that reading led them to enter Shizhong College. The answers are diverse.
There is no standard answer to the question Zhang Zhong asked, so the students can speak freely without fear of getting the answer wrong. Any answer they give is suitable for them because it is their personal experience.
When they had finished talking, Zhang Zhong asked the fifth question, "How do you think we can make people fall in love with reading?"
The fifth question is also the question that Zhang Zhong really wants to ask.
After returning from Bashu, he had been thinking about this issue and came up with some things, but he also wanted to hear what his classmates thought.
With so many people who love reading gathered together, their ideas must be worthy of adoption.
