“在孩童时代，我一直对书籍有着深深的热爱。我的父母非常热爱阅读，他们从小就给我注入了对阅读的热情。我们经常会坐在餐桌前，讨论读过的故事，我的母亲会给我读书，用历史、冒险和诗歌的故事填满我的头脑。我也经常会回到卧室，让自己沉浸在书本的故事中，用想象力构建一个属于我的世界。

然而，真正俘获我的心和想象力的是J.R.R. 托尔金的《指环王》一书。作者的洞察力和他所创造的世界，以及其优美和鼓舞人心的语言，帮助塑造了我的思维、写作和口才，为我提供了丰富的辞藻，这是我作为一个双语学习者最大的收获。

这一周是缤纷多元的书籍带来的趣味课堂！贯穿一周的阅读主题，让阅读成为本周学习的重点。老师们在班上带领同学们进行中英文原著阅读，绘声绘色地讲述书籍的内容，同学们全神贯注，全程投入，兴致勃勃。

“一念放下，自在阅读”是阅读周其中一个活动。通过各式各样的读书时间，⽼师会让学⽣放下⼿中的事情，专注于阅读。有的老师会组织孩子到书香帐篷中去，换个环境，感受阅读带来的快乐。

阅读空间无边界，哈罗学子还在草坪，阶梯，大树旁席地而坐，忘我阅读。阅读为哈罗学子们提供各种各样的信息和知识，进一步理解这个世界。

在阅读周，我们还举行了书签创作活动，哈罗学子自由发挥自己的想象力，用色彩和线条描绘属于自己的书签。

哈罗珠海在本届阅读周还在校园内举办了进口图书展，科学、物理、文学、历史等各类中⽂、英语以及双语书籍应有尽有，同学们对喜欢的书籍爱不释手，或迫不及待地与身边的同学分享，或在一旁专注地阅读起来，无限图书触手可及。

本次阅读周最让⼈期待便是变装⽇——书籍人物变装秀。哈罗珠海的同学们，⽼师们和家⻓们都装扮成他们最喜欢的书中⻆⾊来到学校。我们在操场举⾏了变装⼤游⾏，让不同书中人物活灵活现地出现同学们面前。

外方校长马千里博士化身《指环王》的甘道夫，他拥有灰色胡子，灰色斗篷具有高深的智慧，中方校长李舒女士则摇身一变成为《沉睡魔咒》中的黑发魔女。

同学们扮演的魔女宅急便、电锯人、白雪公主、兔八哥、爱莎公主、明朝锦衣卫等等角色，让人目不暇接。

As a young man, I always had a deep love for books. My parents were both avid readers, and they instilled in me a passion for reading from a very young age. We would often sit together at the dinner table, discussing the stories we had read, and my beautiful mother would read to me, filling my mind with tales of history, adventure, and poetry. I would often retreat to my bedroom, immersing myself in stories and losing myself in my own imagination.

However, it was JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings that truly captured my heart and imagination. The author's insight and the world he created, with its beautiful and inspirational language, helped shape my thinking, writing, and speaking, providing me with a rich vocabulary and phrases that I could never have imagined as a bilingual learner.

It has been a fun week of colourful and diverse books! Under the Book Week theme, reading has become the active theme of the week. Teachers led the class in reading original books in Chinese and English, describing the content of the books in vivid ways, with the students paying attention and being engaged and excited throughout.

One of the activities during the reading week was call the DEAR Time. DEAR means "Drop Everything and Read " and it refers to a variety of reading time where students were could instantly dive into reading. Some teacher even set up book tent for pupils to focus on reading, joyfully in a diverse environment. 

There’s no boundary for reading and Harrow students sit and read on the grass, steps or beneath the trees. Reading provides Harrow students with a wide range of information and knowledge to enhance their understanding of the world.

During Book Week, we also held many reading or book related activities. One of these are the bookmark creation competition, where Harrow students were free to use their imagination to paint their own bookmarks with colours and lines.

In this Book Week, Harrow Zhuhai has organized a book fair on campus, with a wide range of Chinese, English and bilingual books on science, physics, literature and history, and many imported books.The students couldn't get enough of their favourite books. Some immediately started to share them with their classmates, while others started to read intently from the sidelines, learning about what's happening in the world and different perspectives and experiences.

One of the most anticipated events of the Reading Week was the costume day - a parade of book characters in costume. The students, teachers and families of Harrow Zhuhai came to school dressed up in their favourite books. A costume parade were organized on the playground to bring the characters from the books to life in front of the students.

Dr. Caruso, the Head Master, was transformed into Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, with his grey beard and grey cloak and profound wisdom, while, Ms. Elise Li, the Chinese principal, was transformed into a black-haired witch from Sleepy Hollow.

The students played the roles of the Witch's House, Chainsaw Man, Snow White, Bugs Bunny, Princess Elsa, Jin Yi Wei (secret service agent of Ming Dynasty) and many more.
