First, there are comfortable and free libraries in every district of Canadian cities. The library has enough seats and bright windows. I often take my children to the library to read when the interval between two extracurricular activities is long and I am a little far from home. I usually have nothing to do at home and want to go to the library. There are people of all ages in the library, from toddlers to white-haired old people; There are races from white to black; Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, English, books in various languages; Computer desks, sofas, children's seats and other seats are all available. It's as comfortable as going to the library to follow up our home, so we have developed the habit of reading when we have nothing to do.
Second, reading habits that have been developed from primary school to university. Canada has a special reading week from primary school to university. There was no other homework that week, and the only homework was reading. Moreover, primary school students in Canada basically have no homework, and teachers will let their children bring only one book back to read every day. In primary schools in Canada, children bring back new books suitable for children to read every month, and subscribe to newspapers and magazines and their favorite new books.
Third, children's favorite series of new books are constantly released abroad and made into movies. For example, everyone knows Harry Potter; For example, the newly released movie Wonder this year is based on the novel of the same name of 20 12. In Canada, if a child is invited to a birthday party and you don't know what gift to buy, the cash card in the bookstore is the most common and popular.
Perhaps it is Canada's slow-paced lifestyle, quiet life and long lonely nights that keep Canadians in the habit of learning slowly with big and thick books.
