Not long ago, there lived in Auckland a working family who dreamed about a house of their own. 1 then could read in the newspapers about the building companies(公司) who offered 2 people into a new house 3 only a $ 1, 000 deposit (定金).

The couple left, sad at 22 as they saw their dream house 23. By the time they had saved the extra $ 1, 500, 24 the deposit would have become 25, maybe $ 5, 000, then $ 10,000 and then…!

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of stories or 18 is called the general reader.
As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20. Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own. Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
