Why Short Stories Are Best for English Learning?
You get more time to focus on words.When a text is short,you can have more time to learn how every single word is used and what importance it has in (1) text.This is more useful for those(2) are beginners of English.
You can read a whole story at a time.Attention length is very important for learning.And the ability to finish a story gives you more time (3) (understand)it.Short stories are written to give you (4) (much)information with less effort.
It is best for consistency(一致性).It is much easier to read one story every day than trying to read a big novel that never(5) (seem)to end.
You can share them easily in a group.Since short stories can (6) (read)in any place,they are perfect for book clubs and learning circles.Most of the time these groups do not work because members have no time to read.Short stories are the perfect way for them.
You can focus more on ideas.Language is less about (7) (word)and more about the meanings behind them.If you spend all your time (8) (learn)vocabulary and grammar,you will never be able to speak a language (9) (smooth)because you will have little to talk about.Short stories give you the chance to understand big ideas in a short text.
In a word,short stories will not only improve your English reading comprehension(理解力)(10) also open your mind to different worlds.
Do you have any difficulties while studying? In fact, to learn with success is not a very difficult task if you follow some basic rules. I hope they will help you study successfully.
All problems can be solved by working hard. It makes the fool wise,the poor rich, the weak strong.
It makes a wonderful difference. In learning, a hard﹣working fool gets more than a lazy wise.
To set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts is also a good way. Those who often change their subjects will never succeed. For this reason,while you are learning one subject,don't consider learning another one in order to be successful.
Constancy (持之以恒) makes a certain (必然). On the other hand, inconstancy often results failure(失败).If we study day after day,than is nothing that can not be achieved.We should remember a worthy saying "'Constant dropping of water wears away a nonce"
Besides, to be on time is another rule. It helps to achieve your dream. The habit of keeping certain hours is of very importance to successful learning. Work while you work; play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise as long as we does so.
