C11-T2-P3   想认识的作家答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

Children enjoy action stories, adventure stories and some fantasy stories I think. Children also tend to enjoy fictional stories in which the main characters are animals. You know, animals personified. They are very attracted to these kind of stories as children have very active imaginations and are really good at getting into different worlds, especially worlds in which magic plays a major role. Harry Potter has become a huge favourite amongst young children today – and adults too, in fact – I think because it’s set in a school of magic so combines various elements of life that children can relate to – relationships with classmates as well as the whole fantasy-magic theme! 

Some children are a bit lazy with more ‘mental pursuits’ and more into physical activities like sports and games. I think a lot of children get into reading because their parents read them stories when they are younger. And children whose parents don’t really bother to read to them, have less interest in books and stories and more interest in other kinds of activities, even watching TV and playing computer games. 

Children can be encouraged to read more by being exposed to a wider range of more exciting literature. There’s a lot of good stories out there for kids and sometimes school books are simply too boring and put children off reading, rather than encourage them to read. So, I think parents should play a very active role in getting children into reading and maintaining their interest. This can be done through buying interesting kids books and reading to them at bedtimes before sleep. I think there is something magical about bedtime stories and it is by far the best way to encourage young children to develop a love for literature and storytelling. Other ways might be school teachers arranging story-writing competitions and things like this – school activities which emphasise the joy of reading rather than just focusing on the more boring side of learning and reading. Picture books are the best for children as children enjoy looking at pictures while someone is reading to them, rather than just pages full of words. So there are various ways both parents and teachers can encourage children to develop a love for books and reading.
