On World Reading Day, we carried out a survey about the reading habits of high school students. According to the survey, 45. 75% of the students read books they buy and 8. 5% of them download e-books or read online. 35. 75% of the students borrow books from friends or the library and 11% of them read in the school reading-room. From the survey we can see that the use rate of the school reading-room is not high enough. We suggest that its opening hours be extended and meanwhile bookstores be invited into the school to make it convenient for students to buy books.
