Write A Speech On the World Book Day.
Answers
World Book Day is celebrated on April 23rd every year throughout the world. By doing so UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection, of intellectual property through copyright. 23rd April is a symbolic date for world literature because, by a strange twist of fate, the 23rd April 1616 marked the death of three of the greatest authors and playwrights of all time : Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la vega.
It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K. Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Vallejo. It was, therefore, a natural choice for UNESCO’s General Conference to pay a world – wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people , to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.
