　　Deep Reading in Modern Life

　　At the picture depicts¹, a father told his son that he should read deeply rather than merely pursue the quantity of reading materials. It reflects that people tend to browse² and scan e-books without stopping to ponder even one question. The way we read is so superficial that it arouses great concern in modern life.

　　To be a better reader, we had better do as follows. For one thing, take notes about crucial details as we used to do. Taking notes can avoid the phenomenon that the more we read online or on smart phones, the less we seemed to memorize. For another, classics deserve to be savored³ by the contemporary people. For example, some classical novels can be read free on Kindle⁴, which makes them popular among youngsters again. What's more, if we did not make summaries from time to time, nothing that we learnt from e-books would truly be ours.

　　In conclusion, when we enjoy digital reading, we should consciously conducts deep reading. Try our best to keep those good habits which are acquired in the process of paper reading, such as intensive reading and deep thinking.
