　　I think lots of students like the pop singer named Jay．I also like him very much．

　　Do you know as a boy, Jay was called Dull Stupid．But his mother noticed that the quiet, shy boy seemed to dance practically when he heard the Western pop music．His mother sent him to a piano school when he was four．When he grows up, he has an ability for playing the piano beyond(超过)his years．I learned to play the piano from 7 years old to 13 years old．I often feel bored when I practice playing the piano．But Jay was always crazy about playing the piano．I think he really likes music．So I admire him very much, and I call him “hero”．

　　I admire Jay．The real reason is when the others all denied(否定)him, he never gave up．He tried his best to change his life．I think it is good for everybody．I hope that everyone can learn from him－try our best to do everything．Then I think we will be the winners．

　　Whenever the house gets quiet, Mrs Smith knows just where to find her 6-year-old daughter’Maria：lost in the world of stories．

　　“I like to read every time of the day,” said Maria, a student at Creel Elementary School in Australia．

　　Maria’s headmaster, Mrs White, wants each of her 850 students and their families to learn the love of reading this year．She wants reading at home to become an activity of choice in every family, even during holiday breaks．“I truly realize reading should be an important part of everyone's life, and nothing should stop it．”said Mrs White．

　　“The aim we want most of all is to help children understand they can enjoy reading, as well as practice their skills,”said Hannas, an education researcher．He suggested parents take their children to the library and allow them to pick out books that interest them．

　　Each night, students take home two books to read with their parents, or other family members．They have to return the books the next day with a signed note from their parents showing that the books were read, and have passing tests that check how well they understand the books．

　　“We’re trying to get parents into the habit of reading with their kids．” said the headmaster． “Nothing is better than sitting on a sofa with your child and reading and laughing．”

　　Through books, Mrs Smith, a parent, said she’s able to give her two daughters more experiences than she could．

　　“I think reading opens all the doors arid creates imaginations in children,”she said．“I think if you read well, you can succeed in anything in life．”
