This week, we take you to the places where these literary masters grew up, lived or got their inspiration from.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Located on the banks of the river Avon in the north of England, Stratford-upon-Avon provides a beautiful glimpse into Britain’s rural life. Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the town to see the land that produced Britain's greatest playwright. They visit the house where Shakespeare lived and go to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to enjoy his plays

William Shakespeare(1564-1616)

Stratford-upon-Avon would be an ordinary small city in Britain if it was not the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare thought of it as his real home, even though London brought him fame

22、When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say,” Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students

It is so simple, but many kinds have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway(地铁) in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.

One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.

In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit”. That means “Good health to you. “ Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often.

23、Listen to your books

With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend（趋势）in reading audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report.

The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and publication (CAPP ). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms（平台）like Ximalaya.

Kids have also been a main driver（主要驱动力）in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases (购买）made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

In addition, around 26. 8 percent of children under 3 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories（分类）are "stories for kids" and "poetry reading".

One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or an e-reader. Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音员）and production(制作）groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.
