22 consist of three pans Firstly the festival can start with a 30 minute discussion where groups of students can exchange and share what they 23 expose to recently expressing themselves freely Following this section is the speech Teacher and student representatives previously selected by us are to share and recommend the book they think really deserving to be read It s needless to say that the last sharing section which is the most meaningful is donation during 24 time everyone present teachers or students is expected to donate one or more books to the library As for when 25 hold the activity the afternoon may be an ideal choice so that it won t interrupt our classes My advice is justified by the following reasons First and foremost it is in the group discussion and exchange that we students can have a thorough idea 26 our peers are reading for the moment serving as a driving force for our own reading journey So it is 27 the books recommended Named by those idols in our mind they will definitely win our heart As for the donation the benefits are exactly self evident 28 can we share beyond our class or even beyond our school developing a good campus tradition but 29 importantly these books which are sure to be dusted on our shelves can now be of more value I m looking forward to your favorable reply And 30 is my sincere hope that the festival can be a great
