The Importance of Reading Classics
It is widely acknowledged that reading the classics is both important and beneficial to the character development and personal growth of the young people. To me, nothing can bring more joy and happiness than reading those masterpieces created by great figures like Confucius and Cao Xueqin. I believe works like The Dream in the Red Chamber and The Legend of Three
Kingdoms can drastically elevate one’s aesthetic taste and deepen the understanding of the glorious history of Chinese culture.
However, the modern society is full of temptations. Compared with TV soap operas, sport events, and video games, classical literary works are old fashioned and time consuming. In bookstores, “Fast-food” reading materials are replacing classics, and young writers with sensational and “cool” remarks win the support of a large number of fans.
As the salt of this world, we college students should be fully aware of the important role the classics play in broadening one’s vision. Therefore, we should start reading and studying the treasuries our ancestors left and absorbing the essence of those classical works. We should also advocate to the public the importance of classics so that an increasing number of general people can enjoy the pleasure of reading.

人们普遍认为阅读经典是重要和有益的个性发展和个人成长的年轻人。对我来说，没有什么能带来更多的欢乐和幸福比阅读那些名著的孔子和曹雪芹伟大的人物创造。我相信，就像在红楼梦和三的传奇
王国可以大幅度提高人的审美情趣，加深对中国文化的悠久历史的理解。
然而，现代社会充满诱惑。电视肥皂剧相比，体育赛事，和视频游戏，经典文学作品是老式的和费时的。在书店里，“快餐”的阅读材料代替了经典，年轻的作者与感性和“酷”的言论赢得大批粉丝的支持。
这个世界上的盐，我们大学生应该充分认识到在拓宽你的视野经的起重要作用。因此，我们应该开始阅读和研究前人留下的财富，吸收其精华的经典之作。我们也应该提倡公众经典的重要性，越来越多的一般人都能享受阅读的乐趣。
