She cried, "If you had studied more
Your poem would have scanned."

Dies ist ein Werbeplakat mit einem Zug als zentralem Motiv. Die Hintergrundfarbe ist Schwarz. Im oberen Teil des Plakats befindet sich in großen, weißen Buchstaben der Text: „Alle reden vom Wetter“.

Reading Shapes Your Brain – Here's What Happens When We Stop

“It’s worth considering what might happen to us as a species if skills like reading become less prioritised. Our capacity to interpret the world around us and understand the minds of others would surely diminish.”
