It is increasingly popular for Chinese youth to share their experiences on social media, such as the "moments" platform on popular instant messaging service WeChat.

"I have been reading 'Jane Eyre' for 40 days with 48,000 words finished," Li Anqi said. Li has been sharing her reading experience on WeChat moments every day since January.

Working in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Li is eager to learn English, but cannot bare the daily grind of formal lessons.

"I found many of my WeChat friends had been reading books or learning English on mobile reading apps, and I did not want to fall behind," Li said.

In January, she spent more than 100 yuan (about $16) purchasing an online reading class at the Bohe Reading app, which tells customers they can: "Finish reading your first English book here."

At the reading class, teachers assign reading homework and give instructions to 430 class members every day.[The audio clip is from Studio+, produced by CRI]
