Part 1

Books and reading habits

6. Do you read more or less now than when you were younger?

答案:

I actually read more now than when I was younger! Back in my school days, I often read for assignments, which felt more like a chore. Nowadays, I choose books that genuinely interest me. I’m also more drawn to diverse genres, from fantasy to non-fiction. This shift has made reading a delightful part of my daily routine.
