After the rain, the fresh air filled the whole campus. On October 23^rd, 2017, the ninth week of the flag-raising ceremony of Tanghu Elementary was held as scheduled. Li Hongyan, a teacher from year4 class 2, gave us a speech called “reading is wonderful”.

Books are magical. They make us laugh and they make us cry. Books are fascinating. They tell us what pain is and what happiness is. Make friends with books like with the light in the dark. Make friends with books not only when reading, but also with the mind to help us understand. It is so nice to see all of the students carry a book to read during your leisure time.

The campus has the most beautiful pictures; and the campus has the most beautiful poems!

Then Ms Lei, the director of moral education department, announced the beginning of the book exchange.

Teacher representatives came to donate books.
