Question

【題目】 Girls have more interest in digital literacy and styles such as Facebook, emails and text messages, while boys are more comfortable with traditional printed media such as comics, manuals(手冊) and newspapers, according to a study published by the National Literacy Trust.

The survey found that girls like to read outside more than boys at all age levels.

Overall, girls like reading better than boys, according to the figures compiled(匯編) by the trust. Boys seldom read books and think it less important to read, while girls have opposite opinions.

Nearly one pupil in four agreed with the statement: “My parents don’t care if I spend any time reading.” Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust, said: “More must be done to help parents realize what a difference reading with their children from a young age can make to their future.” “Parents needed to be told how important their engagement is for a child’s development.”

Cressida Cowell, the author of How to Train Your Dragon and a national literacy ambassador（代表）, said: “Reading a book with a child, even an older child, is one of the most important things a parent can do to develop their child’s literacy（讀寫能力）.

“I like to read a variety of books with my children and I think reading regularly is the key to writing well and broadening(擴(kuò)大) communication skills.”

“Too many boys still seem uninterested in reading, and far, far too many children simply never become readers at all. So we writers and painters and storytellers, and parents and teachers, and publishers and booksellers, must continue to play our part,” said Michael Morpurgo, whose novel War Horse was one of the most popular books.
