For the past six weeks, I have been lucky enough to visit schools and bookstores nationwide to meet young people and talk about my new book！

Through my experience, the most remarkable（引人注目的）thing is that wherever I am, kids tend to ask me the same kinds of questions. They always want to know why women's rights are so important. Besides, they always ask me what issue I most care about. From the bottom of my heart, this is my favorite question to get, because it's the one I tried to answer in my book. I tell them that there is something important that they should focus their attention on. That is where I think they can make a difference.

Once, a parent who came to my book signing brought a group of girls who were reading my book as part of their book club. They came to the signing with their copies of my book covered with tiny sticky notes. When I asked what the sticky notes were for, they told me that they marked each fact that they thought was really important with a note. Later that parent emailed me a video of the girls talking about the later chapters（章）of my book. I have to admit, that video made me smile.

I didn't necessarily mean to shock readers, but I did hope that reading these facts would inspire them to make a difference in their families, their communities and the world around them. And because of readers like those girls and their book club, I am posting this Call to Action video. Facts and information are incredibly important, but they're just the beginning. Like the words on the cover of my book, the world belongs to each of us, and once we're informed and inspired, it's time to get going!

I hope after you watch this video, you'll think about what issue you care most about and then you' ll encourage all the kids in your life to do the same. With a little information, every kid can make a difference, and every kid can answer the question: It's your world—what will you do?

I’m Wang Tao. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about employ a foreign language teacher.

There are two factor to think over. For one thing, the sense of a humor is necessary for a teacher, who can make the class interesting and lively. For another, the teacher’s ability speak Chinese matters much. Because with the help of Chinese he and students can communicate with each other smooth.

Various of after-school activities, such as the English Evening and English Corner, should be organizing by the foreign language teacher. This would bring the students more chances to communicate with the teacher and improve his oral English.

Yours,

Wang Tao
