In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race, which occurs every year on the last Monday in May. This festival’s characteristic is a contest where an official rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it. The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese.

Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces ( 鬼脸

) . It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September. The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win.

The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland. The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbour’s wife. According to the rules, any woman above 17 is considered as a wife, so if you are within this age, take care while visiting this country during the month of July.

Chinese adults read news and articles on smartphone app WeChat for more than 40 minutes a day on average ( 平均

) , according to the latest annual survey of China’s reading habits which was released on April 20.

The survey showed that 66. 4 percent of adults in China used WeChat to read, of which 72. 9 percent read news, 67. 1 percent read their friends’ updates and 20. 9

percent read articles on public accounts.

The 12th annual survey was conducted nationwide, covering a sample size of 49, 802 people, which was double the size of the survey last year.

Professor Wang Yuguang of the Department of Information Management in Peking University said the dream of having libraries all over the world is still not realized, and the presence of

WeChat is filling this blank in a way.

“In a day and age where the use of libraries is so low, this kind of reading is supplementing ( 补充

) the lack of public libraries, ”said Wang. “But in my opinion, I think WeChat is taking too much of our time. ”

“Reading on WeChat is fragmented, not to mention the inaccuracy of some of

the information, ” said Dean of Chinese Academy of Press and Publication Wei Yushan. Experts believe that children’s stories, academic reports and classic literature should still be read on paper.

“The main purpose of WeChat is entertainment and web browsing. I don’t advise children to start their reading on WeChat as it is not beneficial in shaping good reading habits for them, ” said Wang.

However, Wang is not denying the benefits of WeChat. “We should research more into the beneficial effects of reading on the WeChat platform. ”
