The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has just issued regulations on the reading culture development award to honor, attract and facilitate organizations and individuals to participate in reading activities, spread the value of reading to the community, towards developing a sustainable reading culture... In Thai Binh, reading culture development activities are being implemented in many forms. Recently, the second reading culture ambassador contest organized by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the Department of Education and Training attracted more than 15,000 entries from students at all levels. This shows that the reading movement is developing vigorously in many schools.
Books are close friends after every class of Reading Culture Ambassador Chu Pham Tram Anh.
The Reading Culture Ambassador Contest not only creates opportunities for students of all levels to express their passion for reading through sharing and introducing their favorite books, but also to come up with their own initiatives to develop a reading culture. This shows the enthusiasm and desire to contribute to the community of young people.
Books are friends
As one of the three winners of the second reading culture ambassador contest, Chu Pham Tram Anh, grade 12 English 1, Thai Binh High School for the Gifted, has a special love and passion for reading. Tram Anh said that since she was a primary school student, her parents have cared for her and encouraged her to regularly spend a certain amount of time each day reading books and newspapers appropriate for her age. Her family has a reading room, so her love for reading came naturally. She was attracted to the adventures of detective Selokcok in the book Math for Children, then gradually to stories in history, culture, and life skills education books. A little older, Tram Anh realized the positive value of reading as well as her journey to knowledge through reading. She shared: Along with the habit of reading, I always proactively write summaries, feelings, or things I like, and lessons from that book. Thus, not only can I remember the content of the book longer, but I also train myself to increase my thinking ability and organize the problem in each review. In addition, I think that reading is always necessary and useful for everyone because every good book guides us to a more positive life, opening up diverse perspectives on everything. Books are also a source of knowledge that has been summarized for thousands of years, sometimes it is the product of a lifetime, so we need to make good use of this "resource".
For Tram Anh, books are also close friends and through books she has met many new friends. In high school, living far away from her family, she spends a lot of time studying, so in addition to her time at school, the Provincial Library is a familiar destination for Tram Anh every day. She not only comes to borrow books but also regularly studies at the Provincial Library because with an open space, a variety of reference books are arranged reasonably, as soon as she encounters a problem that needs to be looked up, she can borrow books that suit her needs. In addition, here she is exposed to an environment with many friends who share a passion for reading, from which she can share and increase her knowledge and skills.
Tram Anh maintains the habit of reading books every day at the Provincial Library.
The idea of establishing a reading club in school
Regularly going to the Provincial Library, Tram Anh learned about the reading culture ambassador contest, so as soon as she attended the launching ceremony of the 2023 contest at Thai Binh High School for the Gifted, she spent time thinking about how to encourage students to read more often. From meeting and sharing with friends who share the same interest in reading books at the library every day, Tram Anh thought about the need to establish reading clubs in schools, thereby opening up a convenient space for students to read books together after class, using their free time effectively. In addition, in her opinion, it is necessary to create regular activities of the reading club such as building a common bookshelf; writing reviews and introducing favorite books; taking on challenges related to reading...
Tram Anh shared: I find the reading culture ambassador contest very meaningful, encouraging us to read and feel more about books. This is the way that reading clubs should apply, regularly organizing monthly and quarterly small contests for members to participate and express their thoughts on a certain topic. When coming to the 2023 reading culture ambassador contest with the theme "I love my homeland, my country", I immediately thought of the book "Ganh gai gong gong" - a memoir by author Xuan Phuong and wanted to introduce this book to everyone because this is a work that has touched the hearts of readers with the warmth and courage of a woman whose life sparkles with pieces of memories of national history. The book makes me appreciate and love the peaceful days I am living in even more, and at the same time always think about what I need to do to follow the example of previous generations, contributing to building my homeland and country to become more prosperous, beautiful and civilized.
Books are not only friends and teachers, but for Tram Anh, on her journey of learning, training and growing up, books have become a great motivation for her to always aim for more positive and better things. Hopefully, with the attention of the authorities, the participation of schools, teachers as well as from each parent, the development of reading culture will become closer and more practical for each student, thereby guiding them towards the values of truth - goodness - beauty.
