对于 reliable information about what is going on, they should 读新闻 from sources such as the 英国广播公司 和 监护人, which they can access from their phones.

对于 诗歌，尝试 诗社 for contemporary poems, 和 诗歌的心脏 for a more comprehensive overview.

和 戏剧, theatre companies such as the 国家大剧院 和 全球 are offering free streaming of certain plays. (This definitely counts as reading, particularly if it’s Shakespeare!)

If you fancy winning 和 receiving a surprise book to your door, our school bookshop is also starting a series of fortnightly creative, book-related competitions. See your class’s English Edmodo page for more information.
