thích hợp nhất đối với sinh viên với kỹ năng viết [tiếng Anh] ở trình độ đại học. Tổng quan dự án
Trong dự án này, sinh viên sẽ viết bài choWikipedia với mục đích được đăng lên trang web này
và đến được với một lượng lớn độc giả toàn cầu. Sinh viên ở các nước nơi tiếng Anh không phải
là ngôn ngữ chủ đạo sẽ tận dụng lợi thế viết về những chủ đề thú vị chưa được đăng trong phiên
bản tiếng Anh của Widipedia; cho nên dự án giúp sinh vien phát huy sở thích, kiến thức và kinh

của tôi đã viết về những chủ đề như: khu giải trí Hàn Quốc, một người Đài loan nổi tiếng, ca sĩ

4. Children’s reading culture nowadays
A nationwide survey conducted by the Children’s Literature Center of Hanoi College of
Teachers’ Training has revealed some surprising findings. Money spent on books and
newspapers accounts for only 2% of the total family’s monthly childcare expense, even though
some parents responded that they cannot afford a book or a newspaper. Moreover, in many
localities, the library systems as well as schools are not adequately maintained.
Another problem is that almost no children are taught how to read. Though teachers and parents
exercise an enormous influence on children’s reading culture, they have not taken proper care of children’s reading.
The survey also said that up to 80% of the teachers questioned responded that they have not read
a children’s book since they became adults. Thus, they are unlikely to know what kinds of books
their pupils are reading or interested in. Nearly 72 % of primary and secondary school teachers
admitted that they did not recommend to their pupils good books except for works of literature
taught in the school curriculum. Neither did they show them how to choose a good book or how
to read books effectively. Approximately, 79% of parents did not read books with children and
86% of parents have not read a children’s literature book since their children learned to read. The
survey findings show that almost no children are oriented towards reading.
