Answer 1

Senior High School Students’ Outside Reading

As is shown in the chart, senior high school students spend less time reading as their grade rises. On average, students in Senior One spend 7 hours per week reading and those in Senior Two 5 hours. Much less time, only 2 hours, is devoted to reading by Senior 3 students.

Reasons are various. First, most students don’t attach enough importance to outside reading. As a consequence, their reading time is often taken up by other activities. Second, with their grade becoming higher, they have more homework to do, leaving no spare time for reading.

In my opinion, students should arrange adequate reading time to broaden their horizons. Meanwhile, teachers may encourage their students’ outside reading by offering them a list of good books.
