As more and more people begin to read online, do we still need libraries now ? Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. ―Libraries are still important– people still find it greater and easier to use them.
According to him, not everyone has enough money to buy a smart phone, or a computer, and not everyone knows how to search the Internet, but libraries can offer people the same chance to get what they want to know about. And sometimes the information online is not correct. It will take you a lot of time to find what you really need. Libraries are more reliable(可靠的).
Moreover, we still need a kind of place that a library provides. In a library, it’s easy to get lost in reading and working and it’s also less possible for us to stop to do something else.
So working in a library is quite helpful. We usually call this kind of place ―third places. There are some other ―third places like coffee shops. They can also make you relax completely. And you see no sellers or advertisements in the library. If you spend all your time on computers, your eyes will get tired.
You should go to the library to find out the true, meaningful, and exact information about things. Libraries are still needed and it doesn't matter if you don't think so because most people do.

Paddington 2, the second Paddington film has had a successful weekend since it arrived in Chinese theaters on Friday.
Paddington Bear first appeared（登场） on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington, and then kept on his stories in more than one hundred and fifty books by English writer Michael Bond and other artists. The friendly bear from Peru(秘鲁)—with his old hat, a coat in English style and love of orange jam—has become one of the most famous bears in Britain. Paddington books have been changed into 30 languages across 70 countries and sold more than 30 million copies(册,本) around the world.
Paddington is always polite – calling people "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss", seldom by first names – and kind, though he often looks angrily at those who do bad things. He has an endless ability to get into trouble, but he also tries so hard to get things right. The (human) Brown family found him in Paddington Station, London, and then adopted him. They kindly provide him with food and shelter. Also, the Brown family gives his full name as "Paddington Brown".
