7、If you read one million words in English, finally you will think in that language．With this theory in mind, the Gamagori Municipal Library, in Japan, recently started a lending  1  for books in English with the purpose of  2  people to learn the language more  3  ．

       Kunihide Sakai is a professor at Electro Communications University in Tokyo and president of the Extensive Reading Association of Japan．  4  the early 1990s, Sakai has been finding ways to  5  extensive reading to reading books in English．

       The rules are: use no dictionaries while reading; jump  6  difficult words and phrases; and stop reading the book if it is too  7  ．

       According to Sakai, if you  8  to these rules, you can get through more than one million words with  9  ．And finally you will think in English．The method also helps readers  10  reading books in English rather than growing to dislike them．

       According to Professor Hitoshi Nishizawa at the Toyota National Colleges of Technology in Japan, four technology colleges have  11  the extensive reading method．His own college adopted the method for its electric technology English class, which is held for one hour each week, from the second grade to the fifth grade as well as in the two-year advanced  12  ．And  13 

applying the method, the average TOEIC（Test of English for International Communication） score of the college’s graduates  14  from 330 to 500．

       The Gamagori library decided to   15  the college’s example and lend books for extensive reading．The library has  16  about 1,400 books, which include those  17  for students of English as a second language．The English level is equal to  18  of fourth-grade primary school students in Britain and the United States．After  19  this level of English, they can read Harry Potter books in English, according to the professor．

       “The method is effective not only for  20  their reading skills, but also for their hearing ability,” said Nishizawa．
