"The habit of reading is one of the most important ways for human beings to acquire knowledge. We get a lot more pleasure from reading our own books than we get from reading borrowed books.

A borrowed book is like a guest in the house, and must be treated with care, in a reserved manner lest it upset others. You must keep it intact, so that it is not destroyed in your home, that you cannot leave it carelessly, that you cannot mark it in a book, that you cannot fold the pages, that you cannot use it casually. And one day you have to return it to its Lord, even though you rarely do. But your own books are yours, and you can treat them with an affectionate intimacy without any inhibitions.

Books are for use, not for show-off. The books you have should not make you afraid to mark them, or to spread them out and flip them over and put them on the table. One of the main reasons to mark your favorite passages in the book is that it makes it easier for you to remember those important words, find them quickly, and when you read them years later, it will be like revisiting a forest where you have carved your mark on the bark of a tree, and you will have the pleasure of stepping on familiar land, recalling the scenery you have been exposed to in your mind and the self you have had. ”

The theme of Ye Chen's speech this time is "The Joy of Reading", one of the top ten speeches in the world on earth.

It's not so much a lecture as a great treatise on books and reading.

I don't know when, when Ye Chen was speaking, the audience gradually lost the previous applause.

I don't know when, when Ye Chen was speaking, all the teachers on the stage also lowered their heads and began to think silently.

All the people who listened to Ye Chen's speech couldn't help but ask themselves, what is their attitude towards books? Is it to show off? Do you have the habit of taking notes when you read?

"The deceased great men are not accessible to us, and the living great men are often almost equally unapproachable, and as for our personal friends and acquaintances, we cannot see them very often, who may have gone to bed or gone on a journey. However, in your private library, you can talk to Lao Tzu or Zhuangzi, or Mencius, or Qu Yuan, or Dickens, or George Bernard Shaw, or Barry, or Galsworthy, at any time. And, no doubt, in these books, you can see these people in their best form, trying to make you happy with the best and make a good impression on you. Just as the audience is necessary to the actors, you are necessary to the writers, except that instead of seeing them wearing masks, you see the deepest part of their hearts all the way. ”

"Thank you, Qingshui High School, Senior 3, Ye Chen. ”

"Finally, I recommend a book, The Da Vinci Code. ”

Until Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone who listened to the speech was still immersed in Ye Chen's speech.

A moment later, the audience applauded!

After successfully placing a small advertisement for himself at the end, Ye Chen withdrew.

When everyone on the rostrum saw Ye Chen coming over, everyone reacted differently, and most of them cast approving glances.

Even Wang Kong gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.

It can be said that Ye Chen's rescue was very successful, and Ye Chen also got what he wanted, and successfully promoted his new book, but the biggest gain was the reward after the completion of this system task.

"Ding! Host system task completed detected! Reward beginner presentation skills, please pay attention to check. ”

It was still a familiar electric shock, and a warm current crossed his mind, and Ye Chen already had elementary speech skills at this time.

In just an instant, Ye Chen realized the shortcomings of his previous speech, whether it was posture, line of sight, or facial expressions, and even clothing and hairstyle.

No wonder, no wonder Hitler in his previous life was able to incite a world war with his speeches, it turns out that this is the charm of public speaking.

I remember that in my previous life, Dale Carnegie said: 15 percent of the success of a person's career depends on professional knowledge, and 85 percent depends on speeches.

This statement may be biased, but it also proves the benefits of people with the ability to speak.

If you think about Miti's presidential campaign, you can see that speech has become a prerequisite for a successful presidential campaign.

After the speech was completed, there was nothing to do with Ye Chen, but out of politeness, Ye Chen still waited until the principal announced the dissolution before leaving, but just as Ye Chen was about to leave, the principal stopped Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, your speech today is very exciting, and the school has to thank you for saving the scene. The headmaster said with an affirmative face.

"I'm a student at Qingshui High School, this is my alma mater, and that's how it should be. Ye Chen said modestly.

Seeing this, the principal was a little more satisfied with Ye Chen, compared to this, this Cheng Ji, who also graduated from Qingshui High School, was far behind, but the principal's purpose in stopping Ye Chen was not for this.

"Ye Chen, I heard that you wrote a novel called "The Da Vinci Code", which will be officially published tomorrow?" asked the principal.

Ye Chen was stunned, although he didn't know how the principal knew about this, but Ye Chen didn't think about hiding it.

"Well, when I was idle and bored, I wrote a novel, and I was lucky enough to be valued by the publishing house. Ye Chen was still very modest.

Hearing this, the principal laughed and said, "Classmate Ye Chen, you must know that although modesty makes people progress, excessive modesty is pride. ”

Ye Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and did not speak.

Seeing this, the principal smiled and said: "That's it, I asked Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang said that the novel you wrote is very good, and recently the school library will add a batch of extracurricular books to enhance students' extracurricular reading ability, and the school plans to book 200 copies of "The Da Vinci Code". ”

Ye Chen was overjoyed when he heard what the principal said, and while he was grateful to Wang Kong, Ye Chen also understood in his heart that this was also the principal's support for him.

"Thank you, Headmaster, my Da Vinci Code won't let you down. Ye Chen's face was sincere.

"Haha, that's good, then the headmaster will wait to read your masterpiece tomorrow. The principal said heartily.

Although it was only a speech, it was already noon when Ye Chen returned home.

Recently, Ye Chen has been very busy, tomorrow "The Da Vinci Code" will be published, Ye Chen suddenly became idle, after eating, Ye Chen turned on the computer, ready to find a movie to watch, pass the time, by the way to understand the level of movies in this time and space.

Ye Chen casually opened a player and found the highest-rated movie, and after a simple buffer, the film officially began.

For a whole afternoon, Ye Chen has been watching movies, and he has watched movies with high ratings, both domestic and foreign.

It is worth mentioning that due to the strong scientific and technological strength of the empire, the empire's films take the blockbuster route, relying on advanced shooting technology and powerful special effects to bring the audience an unparalleled visual feast, which is the same model as the earth's Midi.

Of course, there are also many feature films with very good plots, but there are relatively few of them.

In general, the level of cinema development in this world is about the same as that of the earth.

However, Ye Chen found an interesting thing, because this world empire is the world hegemon, it is different from the previous life, due to the difference in ******** and culture, some movie genres that are popular on the earth have not appeared in this world at all.

For example, zombie films.

This gave Ye Chen some ideas, although Ye Chen's main goal is to become a great writer and a great writer, Ye Chen doesn't mind building his own cultural empire in the process.

However, it's too early to think about this, the water in the entertainment industry is very deep, and it is not for the time being, Ye Chen, a small shrimp, can get involved.

Speaking of the entertainment industry, Ye Chen thought of Zhao Qingwei, I haven't seen Zhao Qingwei for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing, and how the song he wrote for her is selling.

The ghost sent the gods, Ye Chen opened the Brilliance Music Network, and as soon as he opened the Brilliance Music Network, Ye Chen saw the promotional advertisement about Zhao Qingwei's new song on the homepage at a glance.

"When you see a 'clear' heart, if even breathing is a pain", a promotional slogan, plus a photo of Zhao Qingwei appeared on the homepage of Brilliance Music Network.

It seems that the momentum of Zhao Qingwei's new song release is good. Ye Chen thought to himself, generally speaking, with the status of Brilliance Music Network, most of the people who can appear on the homepage are well-known singers who have released new songs.

Clicking on Zhao Qingwei's personal homepage, Ye Chen gasped.

"Breathing Pain" has been downloaded 642386 times.

"It's a pity it's not you" has been downloaded 786845 times.

"Break Up with Good Heart" has been downloaded 547862 times.

Although Ye Chen is not a person in the entertainment industry, and he usually listens to songs very little, but seeing this string of numbers, Ye Chen also understands how rebellious Zhao Qingwei is this time.

The song of Liang Jingru, the queen of love songs, is really powerful, but Ye Chen didn't expect it to be so powerful.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was that Zhao Qingwei actually released several other songs, "Qili Xiang", "The Minister Under the Skirt", "Drunken Spring Breeze", "Exaggeration", so far, all the songs Ye Chen has sung have been wiped out.

However, due to copyright issues, these four songs can only be listened to and cannot be downloaded.

"This chick must have been recorded while she was singing. Ye Chen thought to himself, but he couldn't help but look at the comments below, wanting to see the opinions of netizens.

"Great love, these songs are super good, but unfortunately they shouldn't be recorded in the studio, not so clear, but I just want to ask, why can't I download it!! so I can only listen to !!the computer every day" - one cry, two trouble, three call mother.

"I like this song "Qili Xiang", cheerful tunes, poetry-like lyrics, as if the feeling of first love, sweet to the heart, if a boy sings this song to confess to me, I will definitely agree. "-- Big breasts, good panting.

"I also like "Seven Miles", I like its lyrics, I like its melody, and I like its author even more, so shy. "--Tingye has long breasts and is like a rich.

"I like "Exaggeration" even more, this hysterical way of singing is simply handsome, and the single is on the loop! "--I'm cute in the little dark room.

"I think "Drunken Spring Breeze" is also good, there is a sense of rivers and lakes, and the singing is very tender, if only the "Jasper Sword" TV series could also use this song as the theme song. "--My martial arts, my dreams.

"Everyone, haven't you noticed that the author Diao is the real Diao? I just looked at it, and the four songs are all written and sung by the same person named Ye Chen, such a handsome man, how can he be so handsome!" - male gods are my dishes.

"The god of mending the knife is here, after identification, the three songs "Pain That Can Breathe", "It's a pity it's not you", and "Break Up with Kindness" are all lyrics and music composed by Ye Chen, and the male part of "Break Up with Kindness" is also Ye Chen. "-The god of mending the sword is here.

"I'm going, it's really, ask everyone, which star Ye Chen is, I haven't found it for a long time, I've already turned fans from passers-by, so I'm going to organize!"
