Introduction<\/span><\/p>\n

Hong Kong students are becoming less interested in reading English story books as there are more and more advanced technological products such as the Internet and electric devices diverting students\u2019 attention from the invaluable cultural assets. \u00a0There are also students who think that story books are useless as they cannot boost their grades. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore, I would like to propose a few activities the Hong Kong Bookshop could hold, so that both secondary learners\u2019 priority for English story books and the Bookshop\u2019s sales volume will be increased.<\/p>\n

Storytelling by a famous storyteller<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Siu Wai Yee, a renowned storyteller, could be invited to visit 50 schools to tell stories. \u00a0By his specialized storytelling skills, students would certainly be amazed and start getting interested in reading English story books. \u00a0Not only can the students be benefitted through reading stories, but they can also have their horizons broadened by the world-class storyteller\u2019s oral techniques.<\/p>\n

The activities would also bring popularity to the Bookshop as Mr. Siu Wai Yee could promote the English story books from the Bookshop after telling the stories.<\/p>\n

English story book fair<\/span><\/p>\n

Book stalls could be set up at the 50 schools to sell discounted English story books. \u00a0This not only provides students with a convenient source of reasonably-priced English story books, but it can also encourage them to read English story books by price incentive. \u00a0After being impressed by Mr. Siu Wai Yee\u2019s stunning performance, some students may hope to buy some story books to read. \u00a0In this case, a book stall would surely bring in a large amount of profits.<\/p>\n

Two sales representatives could be sent to each school to set up and run the book stall with the school\u2019s permission beforehand. \u00a0The schools must be more than willing to welcome a book stall constructed at their schools creating an atmosphere of reading.<\/p>\n

Talks about benefits of English story books<\/span><\/p>\n

A talk could be given in each school by reading experts about the advantages of reading English story books like the enrichment of language via imagery, metaphor and symbolization. \u00a0Students who disprove the importance of story books may be convinced that English story books are the essence of people\u2019s life, and they may also wish to browse English story books out of curiosity after the talk.<\/p>\n

The customer group of the Hong Kong Bookshop will be enlarged through such kind of talks in secondary schools as the students\u2019 minds can be easily moulded. \u00a0The talks will initiate the habits of reading English story books and thus increase the sales of books of the Hong Kong Bookshop.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondary school students can develop their interests in reading English story books and the sales of the Hong Kong Bookshop can be increased through the proposed story telling sessions, book fairs and talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
