The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while youre hanging out with the family. Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you dont pick a book which is so challenging that its stressful or so simple that its boring. If youre at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a childrens book or reading a book that youve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since youre already familiar with the story. If youre at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as theyll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.The most important thing is to pick a book that youre really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because theres always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend whos interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. Im currently doing that with my friend Laura. Weve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that youre interested in, and the rest will go from there.

HorrorWe Want Our Schoolbags LighterThe picture shows that a girl is wearing a pair of glasses and carrying a big heavy schoolbag, and a woman is doing some exercise. The girl says to the woman, “If you carry the schoolbag for me, Im sure you will lose some weight.” As is well-known, we Chinese students are overburdened with lessons and homework which our teachers have given us. All that we do every day is to listen to our teachers lessons, to take notes and do our homework which seems endless. We do hope our teachers will help
