I prefer to read physical books rather than read electronic books during my daily life. Maybe this is my habit, during my school life our textbook, our storybook are physical books.

And, you can write down the note on the paper, you can touch the book. I think to read the physical book is good for our eyesight. Nowadays, we spend too much time in front of the PC. To read a physical book is just like a new way to relax.

I can enjoy the feeling of renting a book and sharing information of this new book to my friends. I think that reading a physical book is just like a lifestyle. The question is equal to the lifestyle you choose.

Shanghai students, whose under 18 years old, are having their new semester by online class since March.2nd. More than one million four hundred and forty five students in Shanghai are educated at home because of the coronavirus. They can receive their classes on TV、PC and Ipad. It takes 40 minutes for each class, and the first 20 minutes are unified content of courses from Shanghai Education Bureau, then they can connect their own school teacher by apps. Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real class, facing a real teacher, probably forces students to be more committed. Actually most of the students in China hope to return to classroom after the epidemic.
