问题: Do you think people today read less than before? Why?

解析

When answering this question, you can discuss changes in reading habits over time. Many people believe that people today read less traditional books than before, mainly because of the rise of digital entertainment like social media, streaming videos, and online games, which compete for people’s attention. However, you could also mention that people might still read a lot, but in different formats, such as online articles, blogs, or social media posts, rather than printed books. You can support your answer with examples or personal observations.

回答这个问题时,您可以讨论阅读习惯随时间的变化。许多人认为,现如今人们比以前阅读传统书籍的时间减少,主要原因是数字娱乐的兴起,比如社交媒体、视频流和网络游戏,这些都在争夺人们的注意力。然而,您也可以提到人们可能仍然大量阅读,但形式有所不同,例如在线文章、博客或社交媒体帖子,而不是印刷书籍。您可以用例子或个人观察来支持您的答案。
