I would like to talk about my brother Simon, who is a real bookworm. He always likes to bring a book, a traditional book, whenever he goes. If he couldn't bring a physical book, then he would definitely download it as an ebook on his MP3 player or smartphone. Then he could read the books no matter where he goes. And I remember there was a time, it was during the Qingming Festival, a traditional festival in China. It's actually a memorial day for our ancestors. We go to the cemetery to remember our ancestors and their history. And my brother Simon, he brought his MP3 player there and he even complained that the screen wasn't bright enough. And then my father got really mad. He scolded him because it's disrespectful to our ancestors. Anyway, Simon is very crazy about books. He always talks to me about books that he has recently read and tells me what he has learned from them.
