Question

Perhaps you've already watched or heard about Readers, a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on stage, as well as tell the touching stories about them. They can read everything, like poems, novels and letters.

Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions (亭子) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xián.

The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone in it and it records people's voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.
