Books are the ladder of human progress! It is an important pathway for the comprehensive development of human qualities. Not only does it broaden students' knowledge, but it also enables them to form excellent qualities such as integrity, diligence, friendship, and family devotion. Reading helps develop compassion and cultivates personal growth! 

Teachers from our language groups recommend books to students of different grades and initiated a "Let's Read Together" campaign. To assess students' reading achievements, teachers also organized various activities for their classes, such as writing online newsletters and book reviews, drawing posters, and quizzes. 

In addition to the international high school department's activities, we organized a series of interdisciplinary reading events with other departments. For Chinese language learning groups, students performed a skit based on the adaptation of "Brave Little Pterosaur" and a comic book reading of "The Story of Gasoline." Together, the concepts of kindness and humanity and the importance of environmental protection have been acquired beyond the reading of books.
