Because of limited time, I often choose stories that are easy to read and remember such as "Gordon Shouldn't Be Arrogant", "I'm Really Good", "The Diamond Castle" and many Vietnamese fairy tales".

Similarly, Ha Gia Linh, a student in class 3B, also enjoys visiting the school library. In addition to books and stories, the library also has magazines about school age, including articles about students with difficult circumstances who have excelled in their studies. Reading these articles gives her more motivation to study harder.
