I still remember the days I spent in the bookstores. When I was a child, bookstores are the only source(来源) of all kinds of books. Bookstores have been a symbol of my happy childhood. But now many bookstores have closed and that trend(趋势)is continuing today. Many owners are taking some measures to attract people and keep their bookstores. However, as the recent survey shows, these measures seem to be of little help. There are three main reasons for this trend. First, increasingly more people have given up reading habits over the past ten years. The second reason is the development of the internet. Third, among the fewer readers who continue reading paper books, many of them buy books online.
A city without bookstores is not culturally rich. So it would be a pity if physical bookstores were to disappear completely. We couldn't stop bookstores from disappearing. They were an important part of the city's history.
