Question

article on world book day​

Answer 1

Introduction

World Book Day is a celebration of books, authors, and illustrators but most importantly it is the celebration of reading. This day is celebrated on 23rd April every year, which is organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright. In the UK, this day is celebrated on first Thursday of the month of March. The World Book Day was first celebrated on 23rd April 1995.

The date for World Book Day is 23rd April because it is a date for world literature. Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died on this date in 1616. Many other prominent authors, such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla, and Mejia Vallejo were born or died on this date.

What is reading? You may think that I am sounding foolish but I feel many of us don’t know the meaning of reading. Reading is an exercise for our mind. It is feeling that makes a person alive, think, feel lost in that book or may find out self. Reading gives us information on which we can think and make it known. You have not read a good book yet if you do not like reading. It is the most scaring thing for me if a person says that he/she does not read.

Answer 2

Answer:

World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, or International Day of the Book, is an annual event organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright. World Book Day was first celebrated on 23 April 1995, and continues to be recognized on that day. A related event in the United Kingdom and Ireland is observed in March. The original idea was of the Valencian writer Vicente Clavel Andrés as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes, first on 7 October, his birth date, then on 23 April, his death date. In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, as well as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.[1] (In a historical coincidence, Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the same date — 23 April 1616 — but not on the same day, as at the time, Spain used the Gregorian calendar and England used the Julian calendar; Shakespeare actually died 10 days after Cervantes died, on 3 May of the Gregorian calendar.)
