I have been grown-up in a joint family with more than 12 family members. They were my parents, siblings, grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt and cousins. I had the chance to learn so many things from them and it is, in fact, natural that a kid would learn things from his/her family members. I have learned swimming from my uncle, learned the painting from my aunt, learned to play chess from my grandpa, learned to play cricket and badminton from my brother and so on and on. I have learned how to handle the stress and adverse time from my parents and learned how to behave with unknown people from my elder cousin. Thus the list would be a very long one. But I would like to emphasize the thing that I learned from my younger aunt and that is the reading habit and the pleasure of reading. Not that other things I learned from other family members are of less importance, but the reading for please and true interest of reading that I learned from my aunt is different and have a great power.

我成长在一个有超过12个家庭成员的大家庭里。他们是我的父母,兄弟姐妹,奶奶,爷爷,叔叔,阿姨和表兄弟姐妹。我有机会从他们身上学到很多东西,事实上,一个孩子向他/她的家人学习是很自然的。我从叔叔那里学游泳,从阿姨那里学画画,从爷爷那里学下棋,从哥哥那里学板球和羽毛球等等。我从父母那里学会了如何应对压力和逆境,从表姐那里学会了如何与陌生人相处。因此,这个列表会很长。但我想强调的是我从我的小阿姨那里学到的,那就是阅读的习惯和阅读的乐趣。不是我从其他家庭成员那里学到的其他东西不那么重要,而是我从我阿姨那里学到的为了愉悦和真正的阅读兴趣的阅读是不同的,并且有很大的力量。

I found my aunt very charming, caring and possesses a great personality. She had been a voracious reader and because of that, she was more learned and wise than people of her age. Initially, I thought that how come she spend most of her time reading? Over the time I became close to her, and she started helping me with my studies. She started inspiring me to read books other than my academic books. She read me stories and that help me grow an interest towards books. Then she started telling me amazing stories of our history and showed me which books actually have those histories written.

我发现我的姑母很有魅力,很有爱心,性格也很好。她是一个如饥似渴的读者,正因为如此,她比同龄的人更有学识和智慧。起初,我想她怎么会把大部分时间都花在读书上?随着时间的推移,我和她越来越亲近,她开始帮助我学习。她开始鼓励我阅读学术书籍以外的书籍。她给我讲故事,这使我对书产生了兴趣。然后她开始给我讲一些关于我们历史的神奇故事,并告诉我哪些书确实写了这些历史。

She shared the stories she were reading and thus we started becoming a good critic of stories and writers. She told me more stories that I have heard from anyone else. I am grateful to her that she so painstakingly explained different topics and help me grow a good interest on reading. Because of her contribution, I have started reading books of different types whenever I got time which I think is a better investment and activity than spending time idly.

她分享了她正在读的故事,因此我们开始成为一个好的故事和作家的评论家。她给我讲了很多别人讲过的故事。我很感激她如此辛苦地讲解不同的话题,帮助我培养了阅读的兴趣。因为她的贡献,每当我有时间的时候,我就开始阅读不同类型的书籍,我认为这是比无所事事更好的投资和活动。

Later I have inspired my nephew to read books. I did the same, I read him stories which would be interesting to him and gave him sweets, candies, ice-cream if he could have finished a book and explain the stories. I guess he has become interested in reading as well.

后来我鼓励我的侄子读书。我也这么做了,我给他读一些他会感兴趣的故事,如果他能写完一本书并解释这些故事,我就给他糖果、糖果、冰淇淋。我想他也对阅读感兴趣了。
