　　Many people find it difficult to do any activity for pure pleasure.I'm here to tell you about one of my favorite pleasures.It doesn't cost a thing and takes very little time.Best of all，you can do it for pure enjoyment.It's walking.

　　There's something about walking that's different from jogging.When I'm jogging，I'm constantly challenging myself to go farther or faster，sweat more，and breathe harder.But when I'm walking，I'm taking time to go outside and put one foot in front of the other while I look around，breathe，and feel the sun and the wind.When I walk，I'm submerging(浸没) myself in life.

　　On walks，I make friends with myself.That little voice in my head asks，“How are you going to finish three major projects this week？” I answer，“Now，calm down.This is your time.No deadlines，no projects，no have­to­dos.”

　　Walks alone and walks with companions each have their own pleasures.On walks with companions，acquaintances become friends and friendships deepen.There are always memories and thoughts to share on walks.

　　I also enjoy walking anywhere with my children，who constantly open my eyes to new discoveries－rolling down a hill，or finding a strange rock.Walking expands their minds and teaches them about nature.

　　Years ago，when I read “Pride and Prejudice”，I noticed Elizabeth Bennet walked three miles to visit her sister.Then I learned that the Romantic poets－William Wordsworth，John Keats，and Percy Bysshe Shelley－frequently walked for hours for creative inspiration.I might not have been able to write like these poets but I could take walks as they did，I thought.Then I became interested in the activity.

　　Because I walk so often，I now have a list of my favorite walking spots.One of my favorite spots is a park near my house.The park lets me experience the cycle of the seasons at my convenience.

　　Where else can you appreciate the beauty in the world except on a walk? Why not take a walk and do it for pleasure?

　　After a discussion last week，“Do School Libraries Need Books？”，the comments from readers included some first­hand views from students.Below are excerpts(摘录) from their observations on how studying has changed and how they use libraries.

　　It makes little difference whether the book you are reading is electronic or paper.But if you want a place to read，a library is still the place to go.As a kid in school，I often avoid the study hall noises and go to the quiet school library.The library is a place.A learning place.Modern technology won't change the library as long as things are learned.

　　—Scott

　　Being a student I am aware that many of us seldom look at the books in the library unless told to do so by a teacher as a requirement for an assignment.It takes time to find the very book you want at the library，and it may not be necessary to do so.More and more students，such as myself，use the Internet for nearly every assignment.There are countless online resources for us to use with a click of the mouse.What's more，books are very expensive and schools could put that money toward charities.

　　—HayleyH

　　I hope schools continue to have libraries.As a student，I know there is a difference between reading something on a screen and something printed.When I read something in a book that I do not understand or want to look further into，I record it and will research later or discuss with someone.With a screen (especially online) I will instantly access the information and look into the question at hand，which interrupts my reading and especially my imagination.

　　—Allie

　　To me，it depends on the purpose of the book.As a student，I prefer to do research online.Online research is faster and more efficient.But when I'm reading for pleasure，I absolutely refuse to give up a real book.The tactile sensation(触感) and freedom that real books give you really makes the reading experience more enjoyable.So，my suggestion is that schools have more digital collections for research and scholarly work，and a good selection of interesting and age­appropriate fiction and nonfiction for pleasure reading.

　　—CM
